Reality News: Updates on Former “Idols”
Season two runner-up Clay Aiken will be joining the Broadway cast of Monty Python’s pamalot. Aiken, a fan favorite, will be appearing as Sir Robin in the Tony Award winning musical beginning January 18th. He will appear in the musical until May 4th and says he has a “wonderful group of people to work with.” The musical’s co-author, legendary Python Eric Idle, calls working with Aiken “great news” and says “I have been a Clay Aiken fan every since I took my daughter to see him live on the second season of American Idol.”
Spamalot won the Tony for Best Musical, but also got a Grammy for Best Cast Recording. It is based on the 1975 movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
