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).

Diana DeGarmo to return to Broadway in 'Godspell'
According to a press release on Playbill.com, Season 3's Diana DeGarmo will return to the Great White Way as a member of the revival cast of Godspell, which will open on Oct. 23, 2008.
Diana, who finished as runner-up on Idol, has already had two separate runs on Broadway in Hairspray, which she wrapped up on Feb. 11, 2007. Other Broadway veterans that will play parts in the musical include In the Heights' Joshua Henry, Rent's Telly Leung, The Wedding Singer's David Josefsberg and Thoroughly Modern Millie's Tony Award nominee Gavin Creel. Previews will begin on Sept. 29 at The Ethel Barrymore Theatre.
Prior the announcement, Diana was working on a career in country music, and had recently posted clips of potential songs on her official music MySpace page.
