She defied expectations, she rocked the royals and she created a legacy that will endure forever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On the creative end of the production is a team of theatrical titans with impressive resumes. <em>Diana<\/em> was written by Tony-winning composers Joe DiPietro and David Bryan. Tony winner Christopher Ashley (direction), Kelly Devine (choreography), William Ivey Long (costume design) and David Zinn (set design) also contribute their talents.<\/p>\n<p>Theater-goers will be familiar with the musical&#8217;s premise before the curtain first opens. The show highlights some of the late Princesses most celebrated moments, including her 1981 wedding to Prince Charles, fashion sense, and the dedicated charity work that made her &#8220;The People&#8217;s Princess.&#8221; Of course, tragic details surrounding Diana&#8217;s life also come into play. Woven into the story is the constant press intrusion she faced, scrutiny within the royal family, the breakdown of her marriage and her untimely death in 1997.<\/p>\n<p>Before <em>Diana<\/em> invades the Longacre Theatre next spring, it will play host to a limited engagement of <em>The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical<\/em>. It previously housed <em>The Prom<\/em>, which folded earlier this month after some 300 performances.<\/p>\n<p>Find tickets for <em>Diana<\/em> The Musical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketclub.com\/shows\/diana-a-new-musical-tickets\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diana, a new musical chronicling the life and legacy of Princess Diana, will head to Broadway next year.
