What are some of the success on Broadway for American Idol/The Voice what are some of the failures.
Only singing comps that have nothing to do with acting.

Posted: 9/21/14 at 10:20pmDiana Degarmo (third season American Idol runner-up) has had some success on Broadway, national tours and regional productions. She was in Hairspray and Hair. She had been in the national tour of 9 to 5 and is currently in the national tour for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Fantasia (IDOL) took over in THE COLOR PURPLE and sold lots of tickets - and also did well in AFTER MIDNIGHT. All in all, I think IDOL contestants have done more in the entertainment biz than THE VOICE contestants... I can name a dozen IDOL people but no voice winners.

Posted: 9/22/14 at 12:29amJosh Kaufmann is heading to Pippin, I guess we will see how it turns out. Mostly negative opinions in the Pippin cast changes thread, though.
