Aiken to star on Broadway

Raleigh lost one of its shining stars to the bright lights of Broadway today.

Clay Aiken will make his Broadway debut in Monty Python's Spamalot as Sir Robin from January 18 to May 4, 2008.

Because, you know, New York doesn't have enough fanny pack-toting tourists already.

The character of Sir Robin, who was originally played by David Hyde Pierce, is described as "a cowardly knight well versed in the world of musical theatre."

Well, I guess that sounds about right.

sings:

Brave Sir Robin ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!

He is packing it in and packing it up
And sneaking away and buggering up
And chickening out and pissing off home,
Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge...


david hyde pierce is so much better than clay aiken in every way
