👑 COMING 2027: CHARLES - THE MUSICAL 👑

A lifetime of waiting. A crown that comes with history, expectation, and sacrifice. CHARLES: THE MUSICAL is a deeply human portrait of King Charles III - a man shaped by duty, defined by tradition, and forever measured against a legacy he could never control.

From awkward royal tours to headline-stealing heartbreak, this glittering production reimagines history with jazz hands, power ballads, and more corgis than strictly necessary. As Charles navigates duty and desire in the world’s longest “will-they-won’t-they” succession story, one thing becomes clear: it’s hard to rule when you’ve never quite ruled the spotlight.

With a breathtaking score and a multi-million dollar budget, CHARLES: THE MUSICAL asks the question 'what happens when the future king is forever the supporting character?'

👑🩷 THANK YOU - DIANA 2026 🩷👑

The palace gates have officially closed, and Hyde Entertainment’s Major Musical Production of DIANA has officially come to an end. This show challenged everybody involved immensely, and ended up becoming one of the most complex productions that the Playhouse has ever seen.

We want to thank the over ONE THOUSAND audience members who came out to support our show, as well as every single member of the cast & crew - none of this would have been possible without each and every one of you.

A Note From The Director, Seb Smee;
“As a creative, there are some shows you would give anything to work on. To even just have the opportunity to be inside the room while other people have the joy of collaborating on it. DIANA was one of those shows for me.

Now, I’ll admit, before coming across this show I knew very little about Princess Diana. Obviously I knew the key details; she was rushed into a loveless marriage at a young age and grew to defy the monarchy and create a legacy that continues to endure to this day... But that was it.

This production would never have made it to the stage without the immense support of a number of incredible people; Jack Madden, my theatrical partner in crime, who encouraged me to take a chance on this show when I worried what people would think. Olivia Prentice, an incredible human who jumped into the mammoth task of choreographing a musical for the very first time. Brooke Lidbury, who came on board last minute as the guiding light she always is. Lyndon, Miles & Nasi - an absolute dream trio of techies who, quite literally, made the show happen. All of these people and so many more, along with infinite support from my friends and family, have given me the chance to pursue my dream at such a young age, and for that - I am eternally grateful.

Lady Diana is an ever-lasting reminder to us all that our future is our design. Live the life you want to live, and never let somebody tell you what you can and cannot achieve.

Diana’s story didn’t end in 1997, and I can promise you that our DIANA story doesn’t end here either. Stay tuned, friends - we will light the world, together.”
