Keala Settle said in a statement: “I’m so excited I have been given the opportunity to portray a somewhat slightly more down to earth version of one of my greatest idols and one of our greatest leaders, Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. I also get to be onstage with some of the world’s most renowned drag queens!!! Don’t be jealous…just come join us! It’s gonna be AN INCREDIBLE SUMMER!!!”
Priyanka said: “Coming back to the UK has been on my bucket list since my sold out tour earlier this year,” she explained. “I love my UK fans more than anything, they love my music so much and I can’t think of a better way to reunite with everyone than bringing Princess Diana to life night after night.”
Creator and director Christopher D. Clegg said: “Wow! Having Priyanka, Keala, Noel and Lucinda join the line up of this epic new show feels correct. Diana was an icon, and our cast is full of them. Known for her love of fashion, dance, music.. and gays…this is the show that lifts up Diana and celebrates her life and the joy and love she brought to the world. The Diana Mixtape is part musical, part concert, part biopic. Featuring an incredible score of pop bangers from the biggest female artists of the 21st century, all sung live by the incredible cast, this retelling of the iconic story of the People’s Princess is as loving and heartfelt as it is fierce and fabulous. You’re going to be blown away… and we just know Ar’ Di would LOVE to see such a celebratory, fabulous, show of her life.”
