DiVita played opposite LaChanze in the first part of the tour and acts alongside Tamyra Gray.[3] She also played Mary Barrie in the first national tour of Finding Neverland, directed by Diane Paulus.

BroadwayWorld review of If/Then in Phoenix noted the tour was "further blessed by the appearance of DiVita," who "stands out for her vibrant moves and vocals."[4] And the Dallas review noted that "her epic voice adds new life to the show, particularly in Act Two's 'Love While You Can.'"[5]

On Broadway, DiVita has performed in the latest revival of Grease (Rizzo)[6] directed by Kathleen Marshall, Anything Goes (Reno cover), and The Mystery of Edwin Drood (sole cover for Edwin Drood and Rosa Bud).[7] She also played Elizabeth in the first national tour of Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein, directed by Susan Stroman.

DiVita has starred in roles at regional theaters. These roles and theaters include Nancy in Oliver! at the Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia (DiVita was nominated for a Barrymore Award for Outstanding Leading Actress in a Musical) and Eva Perón in Evita[8]
