So bad it's good...almost

"Sample lyrics:
"Everything happens at Buckingham Palace at the Palace at the Palace..." (Really, does it? Really, does it? Really, does it?) (party guests)
"Should I throw up now or later?" (Mmm, depends...who's around?) (Princess Diana)
"He's the manliest man and the grandliest gran" (The what?) (Princess Diana)
"Then she died, and now she's gone..." (Really? She died, and now she's gone? Both those things?) (Princess Diana)Anyway, I laughed all the way through it. But you know, I listened to it. It's insidiously addictive."
Touching musical about Princess Diana

"I have seen this musical and listened to the music many times. It is a heartwarming and humorous look at the relationship between Princess Diana and Prince Charles. I know the authors and songwriter and I know that they diligently researched the material from Andrew Morton's book about the princess. The music was arranged by Chuck Penington from the grammy-award winning group, Mannheim Steamroller. This is a musical that needs to be seen and heard around the world. It was produced at Wesleyan University in the summer of 2010, and was very well received. I know that Princess Diana would be proud of this story."
Long Live Princess Diana!!

"This is such a cool CD!!! It's soooo amazing!!! Why isn't this topping the charts! Karen Sokolof Javitch is a genius--she's right up there with Mozart and Gershwin. The rhythmic Broadway tunes get your toes tappin' and fingers snappin'!! Each song on the CD is worth listening to again and again and again! My utter favorite is He's Such a Man, like the reviewer below. But I like the reprise!! It's SOOOOOO HILARIOUS!!!!!!! Listen to it it is GENIUS baby!!! Here are the lyrics:



Diana: He's such a man! He's so different from all of those boys I've seen around!



Charles: Darling, I brought some books by Sir Laurence van der Post to read with you!



Diana: He's such a man! He's more charming and worldly than anyone in this town!



Charles: I brought my fishing poles! Do you like to fish?



Diana: And he treats me with respect and dignity!



Charles: I invited all the Navy officers to dine with us. I hope you don't mind.



Diana: And he's always a real gentleman!



Charles: Darling, now that we're married you don't have to call me Sir anymore!



Diana: He bowed and took my hand!



Charles: Do you like my new kilts?



Diana: He's the manliest man!



Charles: Want to see my muscle?



Diana: That the world has ever known! He's such a man! He's such a man!



*A picture of Camilla Parker-Bowles falls out of Prince Charles's diary*



Diana: Oh, Charles, let me help you!



Charles: Diana! It's just one picture of her--it doesn't mean anything to me! Look, Diana, it's just a picture of a time from my past--you're my future, you're my Queen!



Diana: Charles, you told me you were over her!



Charles: I am!



Diana: Charles, I am your wife!



Charles: I know...



Diana: I'll be damned if I sit back while your relationship's intact with that--with that---Camilla Devilla!



Charles: She's in my past!



Diana: I am your wife!



Charles: You are my Queen!



Diana & Charles (simutaneously): I am your wife!/You are my Queen!



That Karen's a smart cookie. 5 stars allllllllll the way!!!!!
