| Yesmar_ 10/08/21 1:20:56 AM #1: | The reviews are in for the filmed version of the upcoming Broadway musical Diana that's out on Netflix and...well...see for yourself: https://slate.com/culture/2021/10/diana-musical-netflix-broadway-hate-watch.html Actually, by comparison to whats comingtake a moment to savor that line. Youll long for it by the time Diana starts inexplicably belting a love song to Charles in Spanish. Or when you start mentally tallying the number of words this show rhymes with tart. Or when Diana visits an AIDS ward in a hospital and a patient sings, I may be unwell, but Im handsome as hell and she offers to send him a case of eyeliner. The second act is full of these meta-moments. Camilla and Diana and Charles duke it out inside a boxing ring as friends look on, the Thrilla in Manila with Diana and Camilla. (Camilla also gets rhymed with Godzilla, lest you think this show skipped that particularly poetic opportunity.) https://www.npr.org/2021/10/05/1043098527/diana-the-musical-a-definitive-ranking-of-every-song-from-worst-to-best If you haven't seen the staging, where he comes up out of the floor shirtless on a horse, you can't fully appreciate its greatness, but the voices in the background saying "you go girl" while Diana trades single-entendre horse come-ons with Hewitt are the direction I wish this had gone. --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest!
