Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
NEW YORK, Oct. 16 (UPI) -- Former "American Idol" star Clay Aiken plans to join the Broadway cast of "Monty Python's Spamalot" this winter.
Aiken will make his Broadway debut in the role of Sir Robin, starting Jan. 18 at New York's Shubert Theatre.
His run in the Tony Award-winning musical is slated to end May 4.
"I really couldn't have asked for a more wonderful group of people to work with. Let's not lie, the chance to work with legendary creative minds like Mike Nichols and Eric Idle is, on its own, a reason to jump at this opportunity," Aiken said in a statement. "The producers and creative folks I have had the chance to meet and work with so far have been unbelievably welcoming and wonderful. They've really made me feel at home already."
Director Mike Nichols said, "We are lucky to get him for 'Spamalot.
"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.”
