Thought-provoking, Absorbing, Interesting

See it if you are fascinated with the royals and Princess Diana in particular

Don't see it if you're looking for good acting. While the cast gave it their best, their British accents were terrible detracting from the show's content.

Disappointing, Indulgent, Slow, Clever, Cliched

See it if you are a royal enthusiast. It covers a lot of details in Diana's life.

Don't see it if you expect a fully realized theatrical experience. The performers are better dancers than actors. A lot of time is spent rearranging the set

Uneven, Odd costuming choices, Ambitious, Disappointing

See it if You are interested in Lady Di and don't mind an uneven production. The actress playing Diana was quite believable.

Don't see it if You don't like shows that seem to concentrate more on accents (with limited success) than acting, and are bothered by inexplicable costuming

Disappointing, Quirky, Slow, Dated

See it if you want a live take on what is already known - nothing new offered here. Kudos for some unique, bare budget staging.

Don't see it if you want a fast-paced the the main story. While the acting is okay, there is a lack of a spark to the production.
