Cast Album of Broadway's Princess Diana Musical to Be Released This Summer

The score to Diana, the new tuner framed around the life of Princess Diana, will be preserved as an original cast album, Universal Music Group has announced. The musical begins previews tonight at the Longacre Theatre.

The cast of Diana will go into the recording studio a week after the show’s official opening on March 31. Composer David Bryan and Ian Eisendrath, musical supervisor and arranger, will produce the album. It will be released this summer.

Created by the Tony-winning team behind Memphis—composer/lyricist Bryan, book writer/lyricist Joe DiPietro and director Christopher Ashley—Diana is set in 1981 as the world readies for a royal wedding. Following her fairytale union, Princess Diana faces a distant husband, an unmovable monarchy and constant media scrutiny. But her unabashed honesty, modern perspective and gentle compassion galvanizes a nation, even as it threatens the royal family's hold on England.

The cast is led by Jeanna de Waal in the title role, with Roe Hartrampf as Prince Charles, Erin Davie as Camilla Parker Bowles and two-time Tony winner Judy Kaye as Queen Elizabeth, all of whom reprise their performances from the musical's world premiere at La Jolla Playhouse.

The company also includes Zach Adkins, Tessa Alves, Ashley Andrews, Austen Danielle Bohmer, Holly Ann Butler, Stephen Carrasco, Bruce Dow, Richard Gatta, Lauren E.J. Hamilton, Emma Hearn, Shaye Hopkins, Andre Jordan, Gareth Keegan, Nathan Lucrezio, Tomas Matos, Chris Medlin, Laura Stracko and Bethany Ann Tesarck.
