Rovine quickly added that "when people ask 'Did the show make money?' that's a fair question." One answer to that, he said, is that "we have never lost money on a show that we have promoted or co-promoted," and he added that most shows promoted by outside agencies -- such as when Clay Aiken was brought in by Jam Theatricals -- also make money for both the performer and the theatre.
Aiken, the "American Idol" star who opened his Christmas tour at the Genesee on Dec. 1, sold 1,942 tickets and grossed more than $121,000. Rovine said "I guarantee you that will hold up against anyone else" on the singer's 18-show itinerary.

Southern Girl's thoughts on Clay's DOOL appearance -
As for Claaaaay...well, no big surprise here, but I thought he did a great job! That song is probably my favorite off his new album, A Thousand Different Ways, and he sings it so tenderly and with restraint. Just lovely. Except for the caterpillars creeping over his eyes, he looked good, too. ; ) And in the realm of acting, I thought he was fine -- heck, he acted rings around the last two dudes to play Shawn Douglas (no mean feat there, but still...), and there was just a couple of obvious ad-libs that made me cringe slightly. For a guy who doesn't make his living acting, he more than passed muster as far as I'm concerned.
This was, undeniably, a tough year to be a Clay fan. We literally did not lay eyes on him for five months, from the end of December until the end of May. Nor did we hear much of him, either -- only ludicrous stories in the tabloids and lies perpetrated by the usual wannabes and bottom feeders who always seem to follow in the wake of celebrity.
And when Clay finally did surface, spectacularly, on the AI5 finale, he seemed to have reinvented himself (OMG, who is THAT guy?), and proved, reassuringly, that he was still capable of creating incredible media buzz without saying a single word (Prince was on the show? Really?). We had been hearing vague things about his travails with RCA, as the new album we all eagerly anticipated was eventually released, with inexplicably poor support from them. Which was tragic, because it's so good. We fans were baffled and did our best, but wanted so much more for him. Controversy seemed to dog him, no matter what he said or did.
