I am surprised this was done by the creative team behind the musical Memphis. I enjoyed that show. Diana has some of the worst lyrics I have ever heard. I laughed a lot at the choreography. This is the ideal show to watch if you are a fan of train wrecks.

A lyrically bankrupt torture scene lasting two hours cleverly edited to feel like four.

The only saving grace is the use of the word "sod" five times (an underrated insult) and Barbara Cartland's introduction of James Hewitt, the majesty of which is a sight to behold.

It's a musical train wreck. 2 hours of teeth gritting,cringe worthy, eye rolling baaaad. I wonder what the pitch was when this was in the planning stage. "Let's dig up Diana's corpse and dance it across the stage to bad music." We were all in front row seats as the dumpster fire that was Charles and Diana's marriage imploded. Why would they think it was a grand idea to replay it on stage, and to music yet. The actors did their best with the material they were given. They seemed enthusiastic but you can't make a silk purse out of this sow's ear. There's no fairy tale ending here, just as it was with the real Diana.

Ridiculous, laughable, toe curlingly awful.

More questions than answers...Why didn't they ask some English people to check the script? Why are the paparazzi in 1940s fancy dress? Why was Wales labelled? What were they thinking making this at all? Is it actually supposed to be a comedy?

I laughed so hysterically through this I was brought to tears multiple times. A+ acid trip of cringe, awe and downright befuddlement.

Anyone that rated this above a 2 needs to be examined.

I gave it a one because zero stars is not an option. A jaw dropping event. Hysterical, stupid, but ultimately, just damned depressing. Is this really where musical theater has gone? Into the hands of rank amateurs? It had to be written by the fifteen year old nephew of one of the producers who based his knowledge of the story on tabloid headlines. Not tabloid stories, just the headlines! If this opened during the Golden Age of Rodgers and Hammerstein, Lerner and Loewe, Jule Styne and Frank Loesser, it would have closed at intermission. Today it will run five years and stupid theatergoers will jump to their feet screaming with delight at the curtain call. Like I said a depressing example of NYC theater today. Rotten music, second grade version of events, inane lyrics, embarrassing performances, ugly design and inept direction and choreography Did I mention I find it insulting, demoralizing, and sad. Oh and that it's hateful in every respect.

So very disappointing. Lyrics so amateurish they could have been written in a 7th grade drama class. Dance numbers laughable. Just a waste.

Don't waste your time. It's not musical, it's absolute rubbish.

I honestly dont undestand all the bad reviews on this one, definetely overhated.

It does have some cringy lines and weak dialogue but its overall a more than decent musical. Theres no song in partiuclar that drove me crazy but the choreography, script and production are good.

It is an almost sung-through musical, so keep that in mind in case you expected some scattered songs throught.

Regarding veracity, i have no idea tbh. I couldnt care less about the royal family of the UK so it might have not been 100% historically accurate and i probably woulndt have noticed. For my basic knowledge, it covered it all but i couldnt testify to it being perfect in that area.

Overall an entertaining musical that doesnt particularly bring anything new to the table but its more than an acceptable addition.

If you are not a fan of musicals, this wont be the one that makes you like them, so maybe just skip it.

If you usually enjoy musicals, give it a chance!!

The lyrics, the music, the costumes... It is so bad and cringey I could barely get through the first 12 minutes of it, and decided not to stick it out for 75 more.

Diana is nothing more than a clueless ditz, Charles an oblivious snob and the Queen an emotionless drill sergeant. Nothing likable or even remotely enjoyable about any of the characters, not even Diana. Lyrics and dialogue written from a meta point of view, like everyone knows how this ends and does what they do anyway. No emotion, no depth, no motivation to any of the characters.

This is cringey even for old school Broadway lovers.

From the first note this musical is quite ridiculous, but such a lot of fun. It tells the story of Diana from getting married to when she died, but in song. The songs are catchy, but amazingly jaw droppingly off the wall.

This musical doesn't pretend to be high-brow (which no musicals are to be honest). It's just pure entertainment. I can honestly say I haven't enjoyed a musical so much as this one since Hairspray came out.

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.

What do you say that hasn't been said by others? This is truely so bad that it's good. Terrible music, woeful choreography and predictable AF!

I mean what do you do differently? I guess write terrible lyrics? Seems like this musical really likes to have a crowd on stage. Maybe this was a nod to the fact that there were always people around Diana? I doubt they were that clever judging by the book was written! I didn't walk away with any excitement or was wowed by any melody or lyric. The forceful comedy relief the really pushing the sexy jock narrative. I don't feel anything for Diana and if I didn't know the story or the well documented tragedy I doubt I would have felt anything.

Good things Hmmmm the actor's voices are great. Look watch this but know it's bad.

I was expecting something considering what a darling Diana was..but no, not possible, not from the party crashers Netflix.

Run away. The worst thing ever on tv that desecrates the memory of a beloved icon and grossly disrespects the Queen.

Tuneless and Tasteless.... avoid this travesty of a production at all costs.

Everything about this musical is just bad and it's amazing that the producers and creators couldn't see this.

The songs have some of the worst lyrics that I have ever heard, to the point that they just became laughable.

Everything about the production looks cheap. I can't say that any of the performances were good either. Jeanna de Waal has a lovely voice but her portrayal of Diana is wooden and lifeless.

Judy Kaye has always been a wonderfully talented Broadway actress but she turns Queen Elizabeth into a caricature. Good actors can't always save bad material.

If I could've given this a -10 stars, I would have. Do yourself a favor and just avoid this at all cost. And if you must, then have the bleach ready for your eyeballs and earmuffs for your ears. You're going to need it.

AWFUL.

Even got a few songs , don't believe the tough critics worth a one time watch and lots of eye candy Hubba Hubba Charlie. Daring to make a musical about an ángel w a tragic death but NOT BAD !

Cannot believe this was even made, it's so bad from story to music to everything! I laughed, it was so bad... the characters are ridiculous and the choreography ect bad as bad can get.

I loved it! Please, just watch it and chill. Can't believe the bad reviews.

I saw all the horrific reviews of this musical and nearly didn't bother watching it, then one day at home when I had some work to do on my computer I put it on in the background and within about 15 mins I had to stop working as I was really engrossed in it, mostly because of the songs. I cant believe how much people hate it. Yes it's highly dramatised and the accents are pretty questionable (I'm actually from England) but it has heart and is moving, not to mention quite a lot of the songs are so damn good! I was particularly impressed with Diana and Prince Charles's voices. I'm a bit if a musical theatre fan, I've seen nearly 150 musicals so I can appreciate the songs and how well they sing them. What people have to remember is it's subjective and we all like different things. That's what makes us unique. I don't particularly like Hamilton, most people love it, but I'm not going to review it and say how terrible I thought it was and how "you'll be back" is the only good song in it because to someone else it might be the best musical they've ever seen. I just don't get why you would tear something down so much that is really not that bad. If you appreciate musical theatre and especially catchy melodies (I still listen to it in my car now) then give it a go. You might just like it. I've recently seen all the nominations it got in the 42nd Golden raspberry awards. You've got to be kidding me? Over all of the films in the last year you thought Diana was the worst? That's laughable. For something you don't like you sure do speak about it a lot. Diana the musical should be appreciative of all the extra media you have given them. Thanks Razzies.

This should have never been written at all let alone brought to life on stage then to Netflix! Horrible. They should be ashamed of this and the Diana's children should sue for this to disappear. Horrible acting, singing and dancing. Don't waste your time.

Once my dog ate a large section of cooked turkey giblets string included and when he did a poo the string ran through the middle of it holding section of poo together in one long line. That's what this is like in terms of its musical strength. It's one bit of poo strung together by very poor string-like dialogue.

This doesn't know what it is or what it's trying to be is the take-home feeling I had. The cast aren't bad as in their vocals and performances (characters aside) are pretty sharp and don't miss but they're lost in the tack. I feel bad for the cast to be honest they must have known this was a big chance to take and it was gonna be loved or loathed. Maybe it will do well or at least better as a live stage show complete with audience but I can recall and sing at least one line from every song having just watched it the once so that's how mediocre and run of the mill generic, predictable and generally naff and unremarkable the songs are.

Stage, costumes, lighting etc - really well done. Just not enough to carry the rest unfortunately.
