Diana DeGarmo Joins off-Broadway Production of ‘The Toxic Avenger’

Former American Idol contestant and Season 3 runner-up Diana DeGarmo is back in the limelight, this time tackling the off-Broadway production of The Toxic Avenger, a moody favorite on the theatrical scene. DeGarmo made her debut in The Toxic Avenger on Friday, August 14, taking over the role of the sexy blind librarian Sarah by succeeding Celina Carvajal in the musical. DeGarmo, who’s recently been spotted on Broadway in the hit production of Hairspray, recently spoke of her new onstage role, saying, “I am so excited to be coming back to New York to join the cast of The Toxic Avenger. When I saw the show, I laughed my head off. I can’t wait to start rehearsal - and to be blonde again!”

Diana DeGarmo joins a colorful cast that also features Nick Cordero, Demond Green, Jonathan Root and Nancy Opel in the current off-Broadway production of The Toxic Avenger, which is performing on an open-ended run at New World Stages. Direction for the New York production is led by John Rando, and the rock musical also features a book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro and music by Bon Jovi’s David Bryan.
