stagecreen, I totally agree with you. I see Clay as a Prince Herbert. But of course, the part barely sings at all so of course you can't have a runner up of American Idol in a part that doesn't sing (which is also sad for Christian Borle cause even though he owned that role, he should have been given more to sing.)
I have to say, I enjoyed Spamalot. I like to go to a show to be entertained and that is what I got when i saw it. True, I didn't learn anything from it, but it was still fun. Though I thought Tim Curry phoned in his performance. He was so unexcited about doing the role and I saw it in the first month it opened. But I have to say that Sara Ramirez deserved that award. She OWNED the stage when she was on it, and that is hard to do.
But best musical I believe should have gone to Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. It had catchy tunes, the costumes were fantastic, set was gorgeous, great adaptation from movie, and the cast was superb.
Now that so many movie adaptation musicals are coming out, I think they need a Best Adaptation Musical instead of just having a Best Musical.
<--- the set of A Midsummer Night's Dream that I was assistant stage manager for during the 2007 season at the STNJ outdoor stage.
-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.
