| If the producers were smart, (no comment) they’d close before opening as the critics are just lying in wait (and Joe Allen most assuredly has made room for the poster)! | |

| Already a "legendary flop"? | |

| At the link is what would appear to be the first "Diana" review from a critic for a major NY newspaper. How on earth do they intend to begin Broadway previews on November 2 when the show has already been dubbed a laughable flop? Are they expecting to sell tickets to crowds interested in making mock of it? Are they madly rewriting as we speak? |

| I think investors don’t see any money from subsequent productions | |

| Unless the show opens and maybe even play 20 or so performances. I could be completely wrong about that. But if the show did have a national tour or went to london, the investors might think there is money to be made. And the covid relief money (which can be a few million for some productions) might require some performances to get it. | |

| The British press have so far mostly been appalled, pointing out American lapses in the lexicon used in the libretto and myriad other insults. I don’t see how it could be comfortably embraced in the West End. And absent a crossover pop song - and it has no standalone number as marketing tool* - it’s a potential box office debacle. It’s also not cheap. *Ghost at least had the interpolated Righteous Brothers; Uptown Girl doesn’t show up, its generic stand-in no substitute. |

| I don’t think it even has much regional potential. Maybe a non-equity tour with short stops is about it. | |
