Diana, the bio-musical about the late Princess of Wales, will return to Broadway sooner than anticipated, with producers moving up previews to November 2 with an opening night now set for November 17 at the Longacre Theatre. As previously announced, the film capture of the new musical will still premiere on Netflix October 1.

“We are very happy to get our company back onstage a month earlier than we had anticipated and are eager to safely welcome audiences back to the Longacre Theatre,” said Diana producers. “We are also eager to move forward with our cast and company with a firm commitment to the list of actionable items we have created together to help make both Diana and our industry a more inclusive, equitable, and safe space in which to work.”
