Idol: The Musical closed after it's opening night performance. The show's producer told BroadwayWorld.
"Todd Ellis, the producer of "IDOL:The Musical," has chosen to close the show due to a lack of advance ticket sales, a lack of positive feedback from audience members and critics, and a lack of sustainable financial resources."
The show was about Clay Aiken's strong fanbase, which makes me wonder if it were the Claymates who closed this show. We all know you don't mess with Claymates, they have the power to change things.
Planet Gossip is reporting that Lance Bass is in final negotiations to star as Corny Collins in Hairspray. Bass would most likely sign on for the role for five months starting next month. If that is true we can cross off the rumor that he will be doing Dancing with the Stars 5. Just because he won't be doing DWTS does not mean we will not be seeing him on the small screen, he is currently filming a reality show for LOGO.
Back to Hairspray, I think he will be great in it. I openly admit I loved him in On The Line!
So some guy named Kato Kristophe asked me to be his MySpace friend. Ever since spammers created MySpace pages, I check out anyone’s page who asks me to be their friend. So I scrolled down to his friends’ list to make sure he had some and one of his friend is Andrea McArdle. McArdle is best known for playing Annie on Broadway, so of course I had to check out her MySpace page and add her as a friend! It was seriously such a treat, not only does she have songs of her doing Annie on it she also some of her other Broadway prerformances on her page! So being someone who loves a great Broadway Musical…especially Annie, I felt the need to share one of my favorite show tunes (Tomorrow) that she posted on her page with all of you!!!
Just like American Idol auditions are bein held for the Off-Broadway Musical Idol:The Musical according to Broadway.com. The show "is a satirical musical comedy that focuses on the outrageous and delusional fan base of the hit television show. The musical takes place in Steubenville, Ohio where a group of dork-like students are preparing for their high school graduation after which they are determined to drag themselves out of the dregs of the middle-of-nowhere. There are eight of them; all belonging to the same cult-like club that meets daily in a barn that doubles as a shrine to Clay Aiken…The story heats up when the mid-American leg of the 'Idol Tour,' starring Clay Aiken, is announced to be playing Chicago, Memphis, Louisville, Scranton, Charleston, Greensboro, Roanoke and…Steubenville." If you want to audition for the show, check out Broadway.com for more information about what they are casting for.
Since I am a Claymate, I can't wait to see this show!!!
