Humberto Martinez of The Beaumont Enterprise spoke with Diana on Thursday about her starring role in Oz the Musical. The show will hit the Jefferson Theater in Beaumont, Tex., or Mon., Feb. 16 and Tues., Feb. 17. Below is a snippet from the preview article:
DeGarmo said her character deviates somewhat from the original Dorothy because of "a modern attitude."
"She has a little spunk to her," DeGarmo said in a phone interview with The Enterprise on Friday. "A little bit feisty at times but still has a heart of gold."
But in this version, Dorothy faces a new foe, the Wicked Witch from the West Side - a man dressed as a woman. A potentially controversial change from the original film, but DeGarmo said it's a fun character that always receives a big laugh from the audience.
The show still is for families, she said, wholesome fun with some humor only adults will understand or appreciate.
"We still tell the story of the Wizard of Oz," DeGarmo said, "With the Scarecrow, Tin Man the Lion and, of course, the Wicked Witch."
Tickets to the show range from $20 to $36 and can be purchased on Ticketmaster.com.
