Diana DeGarmo Joins Cast of “OZ: The Musical”

diana-degarmo-oz-the-musica

American Idol season 3 runner-up, Diana DeGarmo, has been cast in the lead role of Todrick D. Hall’s “OZ, The Musical.”  If his name sounds familiar, you might remember him as the director of Oprah’s Broadway hit “The Color Purple.”  I’m sure it’s going to be great!  Is anyone already making plans to go see it?  I want to hear all about it and feel free to come back and share stories and pictures!

Here are the current tour dates:

  • Abilene, TX – February 5, 2009
  • Dallas, TX – February 7, 2009 
  • Dallas, TX – February 8, 2009
  • Fort Worth, TX – February 10, 2009
  • Fort Worth, TX – February 11, 2009
  • Waco, TX – February 14, 2009
  • Beaumont, TX – February 17, 2009
  • Austin, TX – February 21, 2009
  • McAllen, TX – February 24, 2009
  • Corpus Christi, TX – February 28, 2009

In the meantime, free auditions are being held in each city where the musical is performed.  The director is looking for children (must be between the ages of 6 to 16) to cast as Munchkins.  The kids will get a chance to appear alongside Diana and the other cast members.  What an opportunity!

    Just saw another great video from Oz the Musical on You Tube from the shows this month in Texas.

    Great video with Topher Nuccio from the Fort Worth show singing “It’s Gotta Be Green” from Oz the Musical. Great song with the whole cast including Diana DeGarmo. Definitely check out the video on You Tube.

    I also love the video on You Tube of Diana DeGarmo singing “I’m Here” from Oz the Musical in Beaumont, Texas. Diana’s power and range in her voice are just awesome on this song.

    Attended the Oz the Musical show and it is great. The whole cast is fantastic especially Diana Degarmo she makes a great Dorothy.

    A special bonus is that at the show, Diana DeGarmo’s new cd “Unplugged In Nashville” is being sold at the shows. The new EP from Diana is an acoustic country album and it features the songs:

    Kiss Me
    Find Me
    Like I’m Not Even Here
    Thank You

    A great new CD from Diana and also Oz the Musical is a terrific new show. If you are in the Texas area this month definitely try to see one of the stops.

    Love the lyrics to the song “Someday” from “Oz the Musical” Diana DeGarmo performed “Someday” on the CBS Early show on Tuesday, February 10, 2009 in the Dallas/ Fort Worth area. Diana gave an outstanding performance to the song “Someday” Some of the lyrics to the song “Someday” are below:

    Lyrics to Song:
    “Someday”
    Show: Oz The Musical
    Performed by: Diana DeGarmo

    Sometimes on days much like today
    I wish as much as my heart will allow
    Four Stars to come carry me away
    So far from here I’ve had enough of Kansas for now
    Miles and miles from anywhere we’ve been
    There has to be a place where we fit in
    Far away where it’s okay to stand up from the crowd
    No one there to tell us to keep our heads out of the clouds

    Chorus:

    Theres gotta be someplace, some where, some space

    Theres gotta be somplace just make believe

    We will find that place someday
