Will You Love the Musical Dianna?

If you can’t wait for your next fix of The Crown, this Broadway musical might tide you over. Jeanna de Waal lacks Emma Corrin’s harrowed intensity as the doomed princess and, as is often the way with American interpretations of British stories, many of the incidental characters belong in the 1940s. But, at the very least, it has a certain kitsch value that is heightened by the musical involvement of Bon Jovi’s keyboard player David Bryan. Diana’s life often felt like a melodramatic and maximalist power ballad, so why not?
