Justin Guarini may so far be best known for not having won the first season of American Idol, or for starring in the Box Office flop, From Justin to Kelly (which sadly ranks as #22 on IMDB.com’s all-time 100-worst-rated movies). But Guarini is hoping  all that is about to change very soon. 


Guarini may have lost to Kelly Clarkson on Idol but he just won a key role in the Broadway musical, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, set to open in New York this November.

Guarini will play the role of Carlos and will join a slew of other Idol alums who have appeared on Broadway, including, Constantine Maroulis, Fantasia Barrino, Clay Aiken, and Diana DeGarmo.
