A new musical about Britain’s Princess Diana will be filmed without an audience and air on Netflix Inc in early 2021 before it debuts on Broadway, producers announced on Wednesday.

The unusual arrangement for 'Diana'&nbsp;was made as Broadway remains closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“We couldn’t be more excited to finally be able to share our show with theater lovers everywhere,” the producers said in a statement. “Though there is no substitute for the live theater, we are honored to be a part of the quality entertainment that Netflix provides its subscribers worldwide.”

'Diana'&nbsp;had been set to open on March 31, 2020, but the debut was delayed as Broadway closed its theaters to help prevent the novel coronavirus from spreading. The show had started previews in early March.

The production, which chronicles Diana’s courtship and marriage to Prince Charles and eventual divorce, now is scheduled to open on May 25, 2021.

The Actors’ Equity Association, a labor union representing stage actors, said it had approved a safety plan for rehearsals and recording of the musical. The plan includes regular coronavirus testing, isolating actors and stage managers and changes to ventilation in backstage areas, the group said in a statement.

Princess Diana musical to debut on Netflix before hitting Broadway

Princess Diana`s life story will be told in musical form in the new Broadway production, 'Diana.'

The two-act musical will chronicle the late princess courtship and 'marriage to Prince Charles and their eventual separation'.

"If you want to know how, Meghan. First of all, how Meghan got to join the royal family and then how she`s decided to leave it on her own terms. Look back at her mother-in-law and you`ll see how it is and that`s what our show is about," explained Joe DiPietro the author of the book and lyrics of the show.

"The challenge was getting people to walk out of that theater not sad, but actually going to celebratory other of a legacy, of a person, of a human that really cared for the other human next to them," added David Bryan, who penned the music and lyrics.

Jeanna de Waal steps into the shoes of the late princess and called the role both scary and an honor.

"Focusing on the positive and how excited I am and just what a privilege it is to play such a loved figure from history."

Actress Erin Davie portrays Camilla Parker Bowles and find the conversation around her appearance enlightening.

"Everybody says you`re too pretty to play Camilla, which I think is kind of offensive. I think Camilla`s a beautiful woman and it`s been a real interesting social."

The show will feature 25 new songs including 'Underestimated'&nbsp;which opens the show.

"It`s sort of an overarching, not from the grave, but Diana sort of was speaking to the audience as a reflection on her life and then sort of taking us back to the start of the story that we`re telling, which is where Diana met Charles," said de Waal.

Opening night is set for March 31 with previews staring on March 2.
