The story of the People's Princess is coming to the London stage! A new version of DIANA, the Broadway musical about the life of the late former Princess of Wales, will showcase for a one-night-only concert performance at the Eventim Apollo on December 4th, 2023. Tickets to Diana are now on sale.
The reimagined version of the musical, which originally premiered in 2021 in New York sees Diana in 1996 reflecting on her past following her divorce from King (then Prince) Charles III. The musical features two actors who tell Diana's story in two parts: Maiya Quansah-Breed plays her 19-year-old self as she hurtled from a naive teenager into royalty, capturing the nation's hearts with her outreach and warmth, and Kerry Ellis stars as the older Diana.
The production will also feature Denise Welch who will play Queen Elizabeth II with further casting to be announced at a later date.
DIANA is directed by Owen Horsley and features music and lyrics by David Bryan and a book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro. The duo is known for writing the musical Memphis, which played in London at the Shaftesbury Theatre and won two Olivier Awards in 2015.
A filmed version of the Broadway production of DIANA is currently available and streaming on Netflix, with the concert at Eventim Apollo marking Diana the Musical's U.K. debut.
Booking & Theatre Information For DIANA
The Eventim Apollo is a huge venue located on Queen Caroline Street close to Hammersmith tube station and has a capacity of 3341 seats.
Premium seats can be found in rows E to M in the middle section of the Stalls which offer excellent views and make this vast venue feel surprisingly intimate. Rows B to F in the Circle are also recommended and offer an excellent view of the whole stage from an elevated position.
For patrons looking to secure value from their ticket purchase, the front rows of the Circle (Rows A to F) arguably offer a better view than the seats at the back of the Stalls, yet are often priced the same and for a lot of shows, prices are kept the same for all areas throughout the Stalls, so choosing centrally located seats will be better value than seats in the left or right-most sections. Prices and pricing structures can vary depending on the production though so please study the seating plan and look for the different price bands when searching for bargains and cheap DIANA tickets
