The week in review: new cast of 'Hair' opens on Broadway

The first week of the new tribe's performance in Broadway's musical Hair is now complete, and Diana seems to be relieved yet appreciative of the experience, as she tweeted:

It sure was a busy week. Playbill.com features five exclusive photos from the new tribe's opening night performance, with one photo of Diana and the fellow cast members available below on the left.

A lot of publications have been focusing on the fact that both Diana and fellow American Idol finalist and co-star Ace Young opted to do a 15-second portion of the show fully nude as the script calls. Per Zap2It.com:

According to MJ's Big Blog, people are saying that both Young and DeGarmo opted to shed their garb for the clothing-optional scene -- historically it has been up to each individual actor whether or not he or she will participate completely nude. We're sorry to disappoint you -- no pictures of the buff Idols.

But Diana and Ace laughed off people's emphasis on the minor part of the show, as she said in an interview with New York magazine's Jada Yuan:

DeGarmo added, "But it's not about the nudity," and Young righted himself: "It's just being free. We're being free. Literally, we're letting everything out. We're just being ourselves and standing in front of 1,500 people doing it." Heavy, man!
