Teletubby 150,998 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 The new Princess Diana musical has been roundly slammed by critics and viewers over its 'hysterically awful' lyrics and 'absurdly over the top' production. Diana: The Musical was due to premiere on Broadway in 2020 but was delayed due to Covid. Last week a filmed version of the production premiered on Netflix, ahead of the stage show finally opening in New York next month. The embarrassing lyrics • Charles, cradling newborn: 'Darling, I’m holding our son / So let me say, jolly well done.' • Chorus of onlookers at a fancy party thrown by Camilla Parker Bowles (Erin Davie), crashed by her romantic rival: 'It’s the ‘Thrilla in Manilla’ / But with Diana and Camilla!' • Diana being chased by paparazzi who chant: 'Better than a Guinness, better than a w**k / Snap a few pics, it’s money in the bank' • Diana, cradling Harry: 'Harry, my ginger-haired son / You’ll always be second to none.' • A man dying of AIDS sings to Diana: 'I may be unwell, but I’m handsome as hell.' • Diana lamenting: 'Serves me right for marrying a Scorpio.' source "You b*tch!" ~ Rat Boy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

badfaith 5,716 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 This is why making musicals of real people's lives is hard to perfect cause you can't do any outlandish lyrics nor change the story in a way that the gp will surely be here for.

Honestly this is more of a disrespect to UK history and Diana herself than English culture Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
