Probably the role of St. Jimmy, which I don't really see. If any American Idol contestant were to enter this show, it should be Adam Lambert.

I did: https://forum.broadwayworld.com/readmessage.php?thread=1027815&boardname=&dt=16&boardid=1 (second to last post)

I've heard him rumored for Will, since Esper is leaving, which I can see slightly better than St. Jimmy.

Sorry, didn't see that in the other thread. Although now there's a link at least.

Before all y'all start Idol bashing,he represented my (and thus his) home town of Doylestown,PA very well in WOTV and had exhibited zero "What am I doing here, I'm so much better than this" ego. Now we need to see how the AI diehards react...oy vey.

end rant.

You're from Doylestown? I'm from Bensalem.

I think he just needs to be given a chance. You never know. He could be good in whatever role he takes on. And if he's bad THEN we can let the vultures have him...

Wouldn't JG represent pretty much everything a Green Day fan would hate?

Seems like a terrible match, and reeks of desperation.

If they had any sort of brains, the producers would shutter the show as soon as BJA's time is up.

Adam Lambert as St. Jimmy would be amazing. I'd see it. (And I think the show is horrible.)

Davey Havok, of AFI fame, is supposedly taking over as St. Jimmy - as per CBS.
