He was great in WEDDING SINGER and we know he was in RENT and other shows. He loves musical theatre. I wish him well in this re: Constantine Maroulis to Join 'Jacques Brel' in January

I am not happy about this at all. I don't think he is going to be good in the role. I've seen both Drew and Jim in the role and I just can't picture Constantine. Him being Sammy and the role he will take on in Brel are so different. I'm really not sure he can pull it off. It's not the same type of show and you don't perform it the same way. It's going to be a kick in the ass for him vocally. Going from a show where he doesn't REALLY sing and doesn't get emotional to a show that is constant singing and probably has the most emotion of any show I've seen.

Constantine has been Roger in RENT, so I'm guess that won't be much of an issue for him.

I'm a bit hesitant about seeing him in Brel as I'm really not a fan of , but I'm going to reserve judging whether or not he can pull it off until after I see it.

He has some big shoes to fill, after Drew and Jim's amazing performances.

This is one of my most favorite all time shows. It will be interesting to see how well he does in it. I certainly will not argue that it will be a contrast from his current stint as Sammy in Wedding Singer...only this time around, his time in Brel will be a shorter stay (6-7 weeks, I believe).

That's why it's called acting.

I'm very excited to see Constantine do Jacques Brel.

I just saw him at the Cutting Room on Halloween. He sang his heart out. He did some numbers from Hedwig that just blew everyone away.

I think he'll be able to handle it.

I just hope the weather is calm this winter so I can make back to the city to see it in January.

Not to be mean or anything, but I'm not happy. Constantine needs to stop going on this track. I don't really think he has the right voice at all for most things on Broadway.

Just wondering if you've heard his latest stuff? It's more mainstream pop, with a theater flavor to it.

His voice is much better suited to Broadway than to rock.

Definitely, not rock.

-------------------

I totally agree; he is totally more Broadway (or in the case of Jacques, Off-Broadway, lol) than 'rocker' type things. I too hope for a calm winter for all going to see him in the role :)

I know thats why it's called acting. I still don't think he can pull it off. I enjoy him in TWS. I just can't see him in this role. A role that you need to literally make your OWN character. There is no set way to do things. Drew and Jim do things completely different. And it is a even more emotional role then Roger in RENT and a completely different type of emotion.

Well, that makes me want to see him more in this role.

I'm definitely going to go. Flying to NYC in January sometime for it.

I am interested in seeing what his interpretation of this role is.

Fantastic. I've been a big fan of his since American Idol. Ever since I learned that he toured as Roger, I've been... well, an even bigger fan.

Anyone want to take a stab at how long he'll be in the production?

Ma.Dr. Toyou Obviously you are a frenzied Constantine fan however you should be up to date on the idol people you look down upon. All these people have been successful after Idol because they work hard and have talent. Constantine came to Broadway with a I've studied Theater and with his AI credentials got into Wedding. According to reports MR. fantastic was mediocre in fact in the recent "2006 awards" peers and fans gave him the worst replacement award.Please don't mention other Idols in a negative way to jack up his image.

LOL! This is true. He has performed many varied roles in his years of work, I'm looking forward to seeing him do well in Brel, it's a great challenge, and I think he will do it justice and more.

With his training and background, one could argue that it was more of a fluke that he ended up on AI than it ever was that he is now working on Broadway and off-Broadway stages...
