Brought to you by the creator and producer of DEATH DROP, COOL RIDER and GALS ALOUD, this high-octane royal romp is a love letter to Diana and her legacy as one of the most celebrated and adored figures in history. The show fuses genres and artforms to create a wholly original theatrical experience that lovingly brings Diana to the stage like never before.
Today’s announcement sees ensemble performers Ashton Bradley, Henry Chatfield, Jordan Jewel, Theo Simpson and Leo Udvarlaky join the uber talented cast.
The stacked cast of stars already announced include movie and theatre star Keala Settle as Queen Elizabeth II, alongside Noel Sullivan as King Charles III, and Lucinda Lawrence as Queen Camilla.

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.”
