Cast of ‘Diana: The Musical’ performs ‘If’ on ‘GMA’ l GMA

[@CaseyBlizzard]

I respect the performers for their resilience. Their show has been sort of a laughing stock ever since the Netflix debut, but they stay composed, go out there and give their best.

[@aaronlenton6399]

I watched it on Netflix it shows how badly they treated her

[@cosmicwakes6443]

@@aaronlenton6399 The show is great, these "critics" are just cruel and petty. I loved every minute.

[@SergioMendess]

really, it have not been well received. I really enjoy it. Great songs, awesome performances and so witty! I Love it.

[@cosmicwakes6443]

@@SergioMendess It's an online trend to heap scorn on and deride Diana the musical. The songs are moving and the characters are developed so their motivations are understood in context of the circumstances in which they find themselves. The last song brought me to tears when Diana finally freed herself from a loveless and torturous marriage.

[@CaseyBlizzard]

Personally, I did not like the show, but I thought many performers like Jeanna de Waal and Erin Davie did well with the material they had. I also liked a few songs like "I Will" and "Pretty, Pretty Girl". I thought those were effective.

I love this musical - & yeah...it's campy at times...but it was as crazy as the real things that happened in real life. I read Diana's book the summer before I saw this on Netflix...and 100% of everything in this musical really happened. Diana told it all in her book - the very book(s) people hold on stage in the show.

With all due respect, Diana never wrote a book.

[@Angel-bf1ot]

Leave it to America to make her life & death a musical 😂. On that note I’m sure this is an enlightening & moving musical that captures the heart of Princess Diana. (no hate. just pointing out the humor in the obvious. )

[@robertstevenschumann]

Kinda like the Brits and EVITA? Let's here it for the arts! Regardless of what country it comes from. And I fail to see the "humor" in your post.

[@c17sam90]

It reduces her to a cartoon character so I think it probably captures what the public wants her to be rather than the more complex person she probably was. The show even frames her a commoner which she never was.

This is a beautiful song I wish it was still on Broadway I would have loved to see it!!! I love princess Diana's legacy and life she was such an inspiration to me and the world!! My mom turned this musical on for me I instantly fell in love with it, I don't know why it got taken off of Broadway I'm from Ohio and I would have loved to see it live, I wanted to see it for my 22nd birthday the late Princess Diana has a July birthday at the beginning of the month, I would have loved to see it , only if it was coming to Ohio which is closer than New York, I would have loved to see it on Broadway I would have liked to get some signatures on the back of my shirt or on the play bill itself from Erin Davie Jenna dewal Diana the person who played prince Charles, I would have liked to get their signatures but unfortunately I can't do it now, because it's no longer on Broadway or it's not coming to Ohio I would have loved to see it!!

[@le4089]

This was just too funny. How much money are they going to cash in on this woman.

[@jamescopeland8050]

I wish that she would pick a dialect and stick with it throughout the song lol, it just throws the character when you can't fine tune it (and hold it). Also, these lines: "If Charles steps aside and lets my William reign, then all this suffering will not have been in vain" --- Yeah I'm not too sure how well that is going to go down with some people... lol. Also doesn't really fit into the narrative of the score where it is all about choosing your own destiny and future path, but only to then wish that an offspring carries on the tradition to make everything right? It's just quite poor song-writing, unfortunately.

[@willieuam3440]

But it’s true. Diana made several attempts to remove prince of wales from the line of succession. I don’t buy it for one second that she didn’t care about these stuff. After all she was from a very privileged background where your social position is very important. Her father was an earl.

[@bigguy3021]

Bro she's the only actually British one in the cast, her accent is genuine

[@so-niche]

@@bigguy3021 but Diana has a specific dialect, the op is saying that she keeps switching dialects, which is like an accent of an accent.

[@ThePurpleCheesecakeZebra]

she doesnt change dialect in this song at all. she speaks welsh at some point. i also imagine as any "commoner" turned princess would that she code switches when talking to chazza and lizzy over talking to her friends. and actually allot of people want chazza to step aside although in time theyll also want willy to aswell cus all the royals are a bunt of posho nonces that shouldnt be allowed to pretend to run a country

@@ThePurpleCheesecakeZebra all of that a lot of that drama predates the writing of the show. We don’t see the children impact her life at all in the show they are born and mentioned twice. If the show hinges on her wanting William to be king then we need to establish why William would make a better king

[@mileycfan4eva66]

​@c17sam90 I agree they missed a crucial part not casting kids. I would have loved to see things through William's eyes. Especially since he was a teen by the time she passed. Broadway tends to shy away from casting kids I can understand in a way with their restrictions and covid, especially, but it fell flat a little for me without William and Harry.

[@ChienaAvtzon]

@@theleftistvortex “Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812” and “Heathers” suck. The only reason “The Great Comet” did not flop sooner, was due to Josh Groban being a huge draw and source of presale tickets. I do not know any who had seen it who actually enjoyed it. As for “Heathers” there is a legitimate reason it was never allowed on Broadway.
