American Idol

They may not have worked together during their respective runs on American Idol, but Anthony Federov and Diana DeGarmo will be joining forces for a Broadway favorite later this month.

Federov, a finalist during Season 4 of Idol, will play the lead role in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat during the July 21-25 run with the Lyric Theatre in Oklahoma City. DeGarmo, runner-up on Idol’s third season, will play Narrator.

DeGarmo has had extensive Broadway experience, including a run in Hairspray, since her exit from Idol. Her character has been played by another Idol alum, Amy Adams, who took the show on the road for a national tour a couple of years ago.

Joseph is one of Broadway veteran Andrew Lloyd Webber’s most favored musicals. It tells the story of the title character’s life standing out among 10 other brothers. He is betrayed by his family and taken far from his native Egypt after being sold into slavery. Joseph doesn’t give up on his life and dreams, and the musical follows his story to triumph.

Diana DeGarmo and Kimberley Locke will be on the panel of judges to help discover a new star for GetScouted.com, an online marketplace for talent and scouts.

The 60 Seconds of Fame talent search is a national competition where singers, dancers and musicians can register today through May 18 for a chance to win the starring role in the site’s upcoming commercial. U.S. residents age 13 and older can enter by uploading a 60-second clip at www.GetScouted.com.

Five finalists will be chosen by GetScouted.com and flown to New York City on June 8 to compete in front of Kimberley and Diana at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square. Other judges include Bailey Hanks, winner of MTV’s Legally Blonde, Search For The Next Elle Woods and an executive from Sh-K-Boom Records, which records Broadway cast albums.

“I know first-hand how difficult it is to get in front of the right people when you’re just starting out,” DeGarmo said in a release from GetScouted.com. “Not everyone has the opportunity to land a record deal on a live television talent show. That is what makes GetScouted.com so great because it provides aspiring talent with a clear path to scouts who can help them make their dreams come true.”

Contest winners will have a chance to meet privately with Diana and Broadway executive director and producer Richard Jay-Alexander. Aside from the commercial appearance, the grand-prize winner also will be the namesake of a $25,000 donation made by GetScouted.com to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS organization to support the Actors’ Work Program of the Actors’ Fund.
