David Cook attended college on a musical theater scholarship, but he switched to graphic arts midway through.
How 'bout actual actors in some of these shows?

I didn't know that about David Cook. I'd actually prefer him to do Broadway than make a generic rock/pop album, because the only time I really, really loved him was when he sang MOTN on ALW week.

Have you seen the YouTube video of David Cook in his high school production of Singin' in the Rain?

Yeah, I DEF think Cook would be one of the few Idols who could actually be Broadway-worthy. He grew up doing musical theater, and.. I don't know, he just strikes me as the type who'd be a really good actor! He seems like he has the emotional.. maturity and presence for it. Especially something like Roger in RENT.
And vocally he can pretty much do anything! I mean, he sounded amazing doing Music of the Night and then yet he can also turn around and do rock musicals! Pretty amazing :)
Carly certainly has the belting power for Broadway... I wonder if she can act?
