Posted: 8/25/03 at 3:17pmNo, he's not, but the post about his CD got me thinking? What parts should he play if he ever did get a job on Broadway? Any suggestions?

Posted: 8/25/03 at 3:20pmLOL! Seymour! That's perfect! I don't see him as Mark, though. He could probably pull it off, though.

Posted: 8/25/03 at 3:22pmHow can you NOT see him as a Mark -- skinny, geeky pale white boy, glasses... I mean please! He is Mark Cohen's real life counterpart~!

I could see him as mark, a little bit. I remember Simon saying that he would be a much better singer on Broadway. Obviously Simon was wrong, but I do agree that he could be good on Bway. The only thing is if he can act. He would have to play a geeky role though.

Posted: 8/25/03 at 3:23pmClay doesn't wear glasses. I see where you're coming from though. I just meant that he doesn't have the personality of Mark or the depth that we see in "Halloween."

I would love to hear him sing "Suddenly Seymour!"
I think his voice is too big and powerful to play Mark...he has the right look, but Mark doesn't have to have a great voice. I would love to hear him do "One Song Glory", but, sadly, he could probably never be accepted physically as Roger.
I would also love to hear him sing "Music of the Night"...I was talking to Sebastian Arcelus right after Ruben won, and Sebastian said that his brother called him up and told him that Clay would make a GREAT Mark. I said, "Nah, I'd actually like to see him play the Phantom." Sebastian made this face and was all, "Isn't that kid, like, 15 though?"

Posted: 8/25/03 at 3:24pmIn one of his early appearances he wore glasses. He also said something about getting contacts when they 'made him over'.

Posted: 8/25/03 at 3:25pmLOL! Simon said that he didn't like to see Clay's face when he sang? What a better role than the Phantom! He wears a mask! I apologize about my glasses mess up.

Posted: 8/25/03 at 3:30pmI agree with BG2 about him/Mark and NNY about him/Mark. They both have awesome points!

Posted: 8/25/03 at 3:34pmIf he was black he would make a great Mereb in Aida. Jack in Into The Woods or the title role in Joseph.

Some friends and I had this same discussion and we decided he should be Jon in tick, tick...BOOM! He could blow the roof off 30/90.
I do think he would be a great Mark as well.

re: re: Clay Aiken on Broadway#18
Posted: 8/25/03 at 3:59pmYes. He would be great in tick tick. He could also do the What A Way to Spend A Day number well. That's my favorite from the show.
re: re: re: Clay Aiken on Broadway#19
Posted: 8/25/03 at 4:27pmI can see him as a "Mark in RENT. Since I'm a huge fan of POTO, possibly a Raoul in that?

re: re: re: re: Clay Aiken on Broadway#20
Posted: 8/25/03 at 4:28pmNo he'd have to play the Phantom. See my post about Simon and the mask.
re: re: re: re: re: Clay Aiken on Broadway#21
Posted: 8/25/03 at 4:30pmYeah I can possibly see him as the Phantom! I saw that AI episode where Simon mentioned him being in POTO!!!

I really can't see him in anything on Broadway. I wasn't that impressed with him. But he would be better than Reuben, though.
Cheers,

Posted: 8/25/03 at 5:50pmWell, whatever he plays, I'm there~ But am I the only one who actually thinks he's good looking? I think he's kind of pretty, a look which usually attracts me in men.
