No 'Godspell' for Diana

The much talked about revival of Broadway staple musical Godspell saw its chances dashed last week when it was reported that inability to secure funds for the show would cause it to close its doors before they even opened.

Godspell, which was supposed to star Diana DeGarmo in addition to Broadway greats like Gavin Creel and Telly Leung, was one of many musicals that was a casualty of the lackluster economy early on in the 2008-09 season.

This would have been Diana's fourth limited run in a stage production since coming in second on Idol in 2004. She has previously starred in West Side Story (San Jose, 2005), Hairspray (Broadway, 2006-07) and Brooklyn (national tour, 2006).
