By Ernio Hernandez
08 Sep 2009

Diana DeGarmo
Diana DeGarmo

Diana DeGarmo — who co-stars in the Off-Broadway musical The Toxic Avenger — fills out Playbill.com's questionnaire with random facts, backstage trivia and pop culture tidbits.


Full given name: Diana Nicole DeGarmo
Hometown: Born in Birmingham, AL and raised in Snellville, GA
Zodiac sign: Gemini
Special skills: I can drive a stick! (a manual car.... ha)
First Broadway show ever saw: Chicago
If you could go back in time and catch any Broadway show, what would it be? West Side Story, for sure!
MAC or PC? MAC allllll the way
Most played song on your iPod: Anything from Dolly Parton. Her entire greatest hits are constantly on re-play.
Web obsession: Foodnetwork.com — gotta get good recipes to make for my Toxic family!
Last book you read: Yeah, right....
Must-see TV show: "TRUE BLOOD"!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last good movie you saw: "The Hangover," completely hysterical
Favorite board game: Cranium. I love the humdingers!
Pop culture guilty pleasure: perezhilton.com...... I know, I know..... I have to make sure he isn't talking about me! Oh, and also keep up on the Hollywood gossip. You know you do it, too!
Favorite post-show meal: If I'm in the city, Pad Thai from Vynl!
How you got your Equity card: West Side Story @ AMTSJ - love y'all
Worst flubbed line/missed cue/onstage mishap: During one show of Hairspray, I flung gum out of my mouth across the stage as I was talking to "Seaweed" during the gym scene. I then proceeded to walk over, pick it up, and pop it back in my mouth. This made the audience go "ohhhhh" and made Tevin Campbell speechless. So, I said, "What? I can't let a fresh piece go to waste!" I thought Tevin [Campbell] was going to pass out from laughing. :-)
Pre-show rituals: Warm up, drink a lot of water, and say a little prayer
Worst costume ever: The dang orange jumpers I have now been put in for two shows! My hell is made out of orange jumpers.....
Pets' names: My mini weenie dogs, Dixie & Rosie. They are the bomb.
Favorite junk food: Either tortilla chips & cheese dip or Wavy Lays & French onion dip. If I am ever eating one of the two, then know that I've had a rough day..... ha!
Who would play you in the movie? Judy Garland, did I answer that one correctly?? hahaha
TV or commercial gig you most enjoyed: When I was about 6, I did a "Zataran's Red Beans & Rice" commercial. I ate like a pig all day and then the commercial ran until I was 13! Oh, I also did a "Sonic" commercial and when the director told us to be "super" excited that we had gotten there, I proceeded to say, "Praise Jesus, we made it to Sonic!" Really loudly..... I then remember the crew and everyone laughing for at least 20 minutes. I thought I was right on!
Leading lady role you've been dying to play: Fanny Brice in Funny Girl.... one day, dang it!
Which other "American Idol" star would you love to see try Broadway? Let's put the judges on a stage and see how they do... shall we?!?
