Once considered to be the front runner of the fourth season of Idol, Anwar Robinson was not able to sustain enough enthusiasm to carry him to a win, and placed seventh instead. Although things have not necessarily panned out for him recording-wise, Anwar has been able to make a name for himself in the musical theatre world.
Last year, Anwar embarked on the 2007-2008 international tour of RENT, in which he played the role of Collins. The tour had stops in the U.S., Canada and Japan.
Anwar is now set to play Jesus in the Syracuse production of Godspell, which begins Nov. 25 and runs through Dec. 28. He also has a charity single called "Chosen," which is allegedly for sale but there is no link to purchase it on his official music MySpace page.

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).

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.
