Wasn't there a musical about him called "Idol" or something that closed before its first preview a couple of years ago?

"Idol" was just last year, wasn't it? And I thought it played like, one non-preview show before it closed, but I wasn't really following it. Go figure.

Idol the musical played at the 45th Street theatre from June to July 2007. It had an original preview cast from Syracuse, New York for the month of July. That cast had a part in creating the show and the characters were written for them. The run was extended after previews began in New York with a New York cast, the show was semi-re-written, but due to less than stellar reviews, closed after opening night.

And yes, Clay saw the show before it closed with the Original cast.

MassiveMeGo: But he is perfect. There is no other Clay.

Kerchak
My worst fear
I hold it now
I always knew that this would happen
Though he’s a singer it’s in his blood
And he will go
So now it’s clear what I must do
I know too well what he’ll become
For as long as I draw breath
I’ll remember

Kala
Where’s Clay?
Where is he?

Kerchak
No turning back
What’s done is done
I have seen what they can do
He can’t be attacked by you, by me
It’s too late

Kala
No, I won’t let you do this
How can you think

Kerchak
No more fighting I’ll be obeyed
I’ll stand my ground
Don’t dare defy me
I know your kind
I know the truth
I will protect him
No other Clay
Open your eyes
It’s there to see
No other Clay
He’s not one of you
And never will be

Kala
Just listen to me

Kerchak
No more to say
He is what he is
And that won’t change
There’s no other Clay
I am leaving him here
And here he’ll stay

Kala
He’s just a singer

Kerchak
He was up on the stage
Making a scene
And in time it is us
He will entertain

Kala
No

Kerchak
Nothing and no one
Will stop him becoming
What he is
And was by blood

No other Clay
He won't come between me
And those I loved
Believe me when I say
With my body and soul
This I vow

Kala
But I hate him!

Kerchak
No, no other Clay
In spite of your pain
It will be done
No matter what you say
He never was or could be
There is no other Clay
I won’t let him near
The rest of Broadway again

Kala
I understand

Kerchak
Where are you going?

Kala
To PMs
We'll bash him away from his fans

Kerchak
For how long?

Kala
For as long as he's on Broadway

Kerchak
You can’t
I won’t be able to attack you
Kala don’t do this
Please

Kala
Kerchak I'm his hater!

Kerchak
No other Clay
I should have done this before
Long ago
And from today
Though they'll think of me cruel
They won’t know
There was no other Clay.


Apologies to Tim Rice and Phil Collins

Will this show also involve a man who looks like Catherine O'Hara?

Oh, I thought this would be a show about a Golem....oh wait...maybe it still is.

This could be a kind of gay CAROLINE OR CHANGE. What could be the closet-case equivalent of "Lot's Wife"?? The imagination reels...

[lildogs]

"Peter's Partner?"

Slap!
Slap!
Slap!

There! Look at what "the Gaykin" can do!

First of all, the show was about AI and not about Clay. buy a clue. Then again, it's seems to be a sport on this message board to start yet another Clay Aiken thread so all the loser wannabies flock into the thread to tear him down to feed their own egos. So go ahead and have your jollies. While Clay Aiken is starring on Broadway, getting decent reviews and getting ready to release a new cd, where are all of you?

Yes MusicLover,

We KNOW what the show is about and it has NOTHING to do with your pet, Clay.


And much like Mr. Akien, this show has no place in a legitimate theratre. It should be staged in a coffee house.


It bombed here in LA.


Back to the beach...

They're not interested LePetite...and obviously without senses of humor.

They're called jokes, Claybots, we had them back in the 70s...I'm sure at least one of you is old enough to remember.

Oh geez. That's all I have to say.
