Diana DeGarmo
Former American Idol Diana DeGarmo is going to New York City, Broadway to be exact. She got herself a job on the Broadway show Hairspray and will be making her debut on February 7.
DeGarmo will be replacing Tracey Miller as Penny Pingleton the best friend of the main character.
“I’ve always loved Penny’s part because she gets to be fun and goofy,” DeGarmo told Broadway.com. “She has a real journey—she gets to blossom into a beautiful rosebud. The teen idol is also a fan of the show’s Tony-winning score: “Every time I hear it I want to tap my feet and boogie around!”

Great news. Diana deserves this big break. She’s certainly proved that she’s no quitter and not a failure. Much luck to her.
