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.)

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.

My own personal nervous breakdown approached when Dianas second child is born, and she sings the following lines into his cot: Harry, my ginger-haired son / Youll always be second to none! And I succumbed to complete gibbering collapse when Charles erupts in rage at Dianas on-stage dance routine with Wayne Sleep, demanding changes to her behaviour: How about for a start / Dont act like a TART Diana!

What comes to mind regarding the Cats movie is how Universal somehow feels like the major movie studio that has stirred up the least controversy over the past five years despite their last major releases pre-pandemic being it and Dolittle.
