Diana: El musical

Just about every review for this trashed it before I had a chance to watch it, so I went in with low expectations.

Is it cliche? Yep.

Is it cheesy? Yep.

Haven't we heard it all before? Yep.

Still, I enjoyed it.

Sure, it's no Phantom or Rogers & Hammerstein spectacular, but it's a boppy, kitschy, ninety-minute sing-fest through the royal family. And, really, there's only so much you can cram into a musical that covers 30+ years of someone's life, so don't go in expecting anything too deep and meaningful.

But it is a decent way to spend an afternoon, the sets are well designed, as are the costumes.
