I saw one of the 'American Idol' finalists in a local production of Joseph - she had NO background, couldn't have cared less about learning anything and was a horror to sit through. AND her Joseph was Bill Hutton - who displayed ENORMOUS patience with her.

You'd have to pay me $100 to watch DeGarmo on stage. Let's hope she starts the hosting local beauty pageants phase of her career as soon as possible.

"A) She is WAY too short to be Elphaba. Elphaba is supposed to be tall, and gawky. Diana is what 5'3 ish around in there. She would make a better G(A)linda"


Elphaba isn't supposed to be tall (JLT is taller than Idina)...Idina's only 5'4.

I think that's the most genius bit of casting I've seen suggested on this board in ages. The part of Elphaba absolutely cries out for a 17 year old who looks as if she aspires to be a flight attendant supervisor or hostess at The Olive Garden.

Seriously? Dude, I'm like five inches taller than she is and I'm only 15! Crazy. Is Chinowith uber short than? Because there is this picture of Elphaba standing facing Glinda, and she looks a whole head taller than she is. I've never seen either of them so sorry if all my information is wrong. :)

Maybe in a few years she could be a good elphie, and I totally agree with Jennifer Hudson as Mama, Diana and Jennifer were my 2 favorites

Wow. J hud would make an AMAZING Mama Morton. I never thought of that before. Jen was my favorite contestant, and if you ask me...she has the perfect voice and attitude for the role.

This goes way back to derek2, but if you love the play, you will most likely hate the book. At least, that's how it went for me. I was introduced to the show first, and read the book second. In essence, it is basically nothing like the show. There are so many differences. If you want to know some of them, just let me know. Be prepared for disappointment if you're looking for the book and musical to coincide. Doesn't happen at all.

i can understand why she would want to play the part. but i think she will have to keep dreaming cause she looks way to young and her voice isnt fully developed..i dont think they would give her a chance right now.

THen again, Roseanne Barr played the Witch of the West a few years back in that Wizard Of Oz concert...so I guess D Degarmo could play that role...
