Diana the Musical should have featured Diana and Camilla as co-leads. You can’t change my mind.

[stickthisbig]

drags hands down face Diana is such a bad musical and not for the reasons I thought it was

A lot of things (the accents, the lyrics, the staging, the dream sequences, etc) are what I thought would be the problem, but this was the actual problem:

I don't need you to tell me a story we all lived through in exactly the way we lived through it.

I understand completely that in real life, we don't get nicely rounded stories where things foreshadow other things. But if it happened long enough ago that you've had time to make a musical about it, you got time to go fill that in before opening night. A series of events is not a story; the point of fictionalizing history is to pull out threads and create meaning out of something that just kinda happened.

So my brother in Christ why are you expecting me to experience tension over the will-they-won't-they of Charles and Camilla, they are literally married to each other still. There is no dramatic tension, there is no sense of foreboding, there is no foreshadowing. Instead everything is just sort of happening, then five minutes from the end in the kind of number that makes people hate musical theater it all just ends.

Motherfucker I remember all this happening with crystal clarity. You don't have to tell me that it happened all at once and was senseless. I sat and watched the updates on the day she died. Everybody in the audience was there.

We expect more out of fiction than real life. Like yeah my dude, I know that's what happened. It was unsatisfying the first time, why do you expect me to pay to see it the second time just because it's got musical numbers now??

Me: I can’t stand Diana the musical it’s so weird and boring

Also me quoting this scene for about the 1000th time today

[unimportant-ramblings]

Losing my mind that kpop is closing faster than Diana

[nandorsrelentless]

diana the musical was good you guys are just bandwagoner haters

[dependable-magnet]

If I had a penny for every time a musical was made about the life of a well loved female political figure who died young, 24 years after her death, I would have two pennies. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

[bellalaloca]

A very important song today.

[finleyforevermore]

hihi!! what are your favorite musicals?

Hi Sam!

My all-time favorite musical is definitely "Wicked" 💚💚💚

But some of my other favorites are Hadestown, Starlight Express, Cats, Diana (it's my guilty pleasure musical don't judge sksjsjs), Ride the Cyclone, Jesus Christ Superstar, Razia's Shadow (even though it's only a concept album), Hamilton, The Lion King musical, the SpongeBob musical, the Aladdin musical, and Hamilton! There's probably more and I'm just forgetting XD thank you for the ask, Kay!

[hihimissamericanbi]

when you get this ask you could perhaps maybe bless us with 5 of your fav songs (currently or of all time), and then send this ask to 5 of your moots who you think have good taste! <3

My good crow,

I have abysmal music tastes. But here you go!!!! FLOOD THE DASH WITH MUSICALSSSSS

[box-dwelling]

Ok, I am home alone, theatre kid relapsing and I am watching Diana for the the first time. Here's my live reaction. I may also be grabbing a drink because I don't think this can be enjoyed without ideally wine but we'll see what I have.

Excellent news, I have a lovely sauvignon blanc in. The taste is tart and fruity, perfect for this show (pro shot)

Wow we're just thrown in huh

Ok the opening number feels just... Very boring I want song

The actress is... Making choices. Manic pixie dream diana

Camilla is a mild. I said it. Not irl but here, mommy

This feels high on the hunch meter

Ok ok I love this set work

Ensemble are excellent. Living for them

Lizzy is out

Damn her voice is serving

Ensemble! I'm fucking living for them, they're giving 110%

This choreography is so so MUCH and I mean that in the best way. Saving this

Diana's actress is still making her choices...

I have no idea what this pacing is

Will they mention the tampon thing

I'd love for you to have great influence over me Camilla

Charles is not being mentioned because he is very very white bread

I heard about this. This is how your people dance is... Everything I heard and maybe worse

I need to be more drunk

Charles breakdancing really is something

Snap click is a bop I wont lie

Ensemble continues to slay

Barbara's number slaps too

It's not good but it is very watchable

Camilla and Charles' number has some good music too

Damn that wedding dress is insanely accurate

The actual composition is pretty great actually. Just attached to a very questionable book

Diana is wearing a sailor outfit??

Ah yes the iconic giant metal sign saying WALES hanging over the Welsh country side

Fuck the yanks really really can't do Welsh accents

Very very very funny to see Charles' framing of Wales treated uncritically. Even the crown didn't do that lol

I never thought I'd be this pro Camilla. Diana is just so uninteresting in this and she is so so fucking hot

The ballads are by far the worst but I have heard worse

Simply breathe is actually amazing

Diana deserves an edge. I'm glad of this. Give her a gun I say

Maybe it's my mummy issues but I'd let Lizzy strap me down

Give Diana a gun. I stand by this

The rage is a great villian song

The guitar!!!!

"serves me right for marrying a Scorpio" is actually an insane lyric and is a level of camp unmatched

I do also want Sarah to fuck me

Post pregnancy Diana too actually

Pretty pretty girl is also a bop

I don't want to fuck Barbara but I do want to drink mojitos and bitch with her

JAMES FUCKING INTRO PUTTING ROCKY HORROR TO SHAME

GIVE DIANA A GUN AND SET HER ON THATCHER!!!!!!!!!!

I mean mother Teresa was a pos

Glad they're mentioning the aids thing

THE AIDS PATIENTS FUCKING CRITIQUING HER OUTFIT AND ASKING FOR MAKEUP I'd say it was homophobic if they didn't chose the gayest looking motherfuckers in the cast to play them

The boxing ring song does actually slap

Also Diana and Camilla should fuck

Get his ass Diana

This is the ultimate petty bitch musical and and im living

Officers wife is great but it's rubbing too much against my republicanism

That ending is surprisingly effective

Honestly this is definitely insanely camp and not serious but I highly recommend it. It's very fun trash, I do recommend the wine though, that was the shout. Now to finish off my glass I may have a few minutes of love never dies.

[doctorsparkles]

Back on my bullshit.
