STUNT CASTING ALERT: Clay Aiken on Broadway in Spamalot

Where do American Idol finalist go once they make it as close to the top as they possibly can, before they start screeching their way back down to whence they came: Broadway. "American Idol" notables to appear on the New York stage include Constantine Maroulis (The Wedding Singer, Jacques Brel), Frenchie Davis (Rent), Diana DeGarmo (Hairspray) and the most celebrated: Fantasia Barrino in The Color Purple. And now: There will be no ticket slump for Spamalot during the dark days of Winter, as American Idol finalist Clay Aiken will begins his run on Jan. 18, 2008 continuing through May 4. We know where these claymates will be parking their butts come January 18, 2008 but where on earth are they going to park their cars so everyone can see how much they love Clay Aiken

I thought Spamalot was still doing a booming business, do the Spamalot folks know what they are in for, do you think the Claymates will be able to contain their screams long enough for dialog to spew from Sir Robin's mouth? (Isnt Sir Robin the gay knight, Clay does have a sense of humor!) 1/18/08 guaranteed celebrity sightings: Rosie O'Donnell and Barry Manilow at Spamalot 1/18/08 (Photo:AP)
