Starring an all-star cast of drag royalty — including Priyanka, Kitty Scott-Claus, Rosé, Courtney Act, and Davina De Campo — Diana: The Mixtape promised to be an unforgettable night of fun. It absolutely delivered.

I had the pleasure of attending the performance on 31st July, and while I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect beyond the concept of five iconic drag queens embodying Princess Diana, what unfolded was a high-energy, unapologetically camp celebration of queer culture, pop music, and the People’s Princess herself.

From the opening number, the show pulsed with energy. The choreography was fierce, polished, and relentless, keeping the audience hooked from the first beat to the last. Though the vocal performances occasionally varied in consistency, the passion, humour, and heart behind the production were undeniable. This wasn’t just a homage to Diana; it was a bold, joyous tribute to queer identity expressed through music, fashion, and fearless performance.

The soundtrack was an exhilarating blend of queer anthems, featuring hits from Rihanna, Chapel Roan, Little Mix, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, and Ariana Grande. A true standout moment came courtesy of Rosé, whose rendition of “Angel of Mine” by Jade was breathtaking — a vocally flawless and unexpectedly moving highlight of the night.

Priyanka brought undeniable charisma and star power to every number, commanding the stage with style and sass. However, my personal favourite was Kitty Scott-Claus. Her impression of Diana was pitch-perfect, her comedic timing impeccable, and her warmth and magnetic presence lit up every ensemble scene, drawing constant laughter and cheers from the crowd.

Courtney Act and Davina De Campo both delivered strong, polished performances, weaving seamlessly in and out of the ensemble with sharp vocals and flair.

Adding even more sparkle, special guest stars Noel Sullivan (King Charles), Keala Settle (Queen Elizabeth), and Lucinda Lawrence (Camilla) provided grounded, musically accomplished performances that balanced the show’s chaotic, joyous energy with a touch of theatrical finesse.

Overall, Diana: The Mixtape isn’t your typical night at the theatre — and it doesn’t pretend to be. If you’re expecting a tightly plotted narrative, this might not be for you (especially if you’re standing in the pit, where the experience feels closer to a high-octane pop concert). But if you’re ready for a night that fuses drag, pop anthems, and unapologetic queer joy, this show is an absolute blast.

It’s bold. It’s chaotic. It’s fun. And, most of all… it’s camp.
