Diana Musical Extends for Second Time at La Jolla Playhouse

Diana - a new musical about the iconic British princess - made its world premiere last month at La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego. Set to a contemporary score, the musical tells of the life of the late Princess Diana and comes from the Tony Award-winning creative team behind Memphis. There’s no confirmation yet on when the show will make it to the Great White Way, but the outlook is positive so far, as Diana has been extended twice during its California run.

Oh What a Beautiful Day! OKLAHOMA! on Broadway

Rodger’s & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! Is currently in previews at Circle in the Square theatre, with an opening set for early next month for a limited engagement. Celebrating seventy-five years, this version of Oklahoma! is described as a reimagining of the musical classic, with the New York Times calling it “thrilling and audacious.” This production was originally developed, produced and premiered at Bard College in July 2015, then played a sold-out run at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn in fall of 2018 before transferring to Broadway earlier this year.
