'Diana' The Broadway Musical, Set to Open in 2020
A musical based on the "People's Princess," entitled simply Diana, will land on Broadway in 2020.
The 2020s will be a time of upheaval for the royal family, no matter what happens. Unless, somehow, Queen Elizabeth II lives until 104 and sees 2030, the next decade will see the rise of King Charles, and William and Kate become first in line behind him. Between the coming of the end of the Second Elizabethan Age, Will and Harry's marriages, and Netflix's The Crown, it's not that surprising that other mediums are looking into how to talk about her near 70-years-and-counting reign.
The theater first started with King Charles III, focusing on a Shakespearean take on the coming changeover. The latest is a look back on one of the most recognizable figures during Elizabeth's rule, Charles' chosen first wife, Diana Frances Spencer. And even better, it's a musical.
