Tidbits 6/23

• Even more Clay mention in press coverage of "Idol: The Musical"...
• Variety -

  Musical idolizes feats of Clay Aiken
  
  Finally: An "American Idol" tuner!
  
  We're talking "IDOL: The Musical." We're talking Off Broadway. The legit production -- which bowed earlier this month in unlikely tryout spot Syracuse, N.Y. -- follows nine wildly different high schoolers (the jock, the tomboy, the genius, etc.) in Steubenville, Ohio, bonded by their intense devotion to the "Idol" runner-up.

• Broadway World -

  Performances for Idol: The Musical, described as "a satirical new Off-Broadway musical described as "a show based on the woship of Clay Aiken," begin Off-Broadway at the 45th Street Theatre (354 W. 45th St.) on Thursday, July 5th.

• The Hockey News (Canada) - random Clay mention... "The league needs guaranteed good news more than Clay Aiken needs a beard – okay, two beards – but the fact it holds Balsillie at bay while embracing Jacobs confirms just how popular (and, coincidentally enough, cheaper) the status quo continues to be."
