Another Idol is hitting the stage, and this one is sure to make some jaws drop --
Clay Aiken is joining the Broadway cast of Spamalot!!
Oh! My! God!
Clay will be playing Sir Robin (a role originated by David Hyde Pierce) in the Monty Python musical on January 18, 2008, according to a press release sent out this morning.
According to the release:
Director Mike Nichols said: “Clay Aiken is amazing beyond that glorious voice. Turns out he is an excellent comic actor and a master of character. People will be surprised by his wide ranging talent, since the first impression is of great country charm and a singer to remember. This guy is not only a star, he is a lot more. We are lucky to get him for Spamalot.”
In addition, Spamalot author and original Python Eric Idle commented: “This is great news. I have been a Clay Aiken fan ever since I took my daughter to see him live on the second season of American Idol and she held up a big sign of his name. Maybe now it should read ‘American Idle.’”

I think this is a great opportunity for Clay Aiken to show that he is more than just a great singer....just like other artists such as Timberlake and Usher who were willing to move out of their " boxes" and show more of what they can do.
Good luck Clay!
