AIKEN NEWS NETWORK, SEPTEMBER 23

[PHILLYLUVSCLAY]

GOOD MORNING...

If you were taking a cab across 44th Street on September 19, chances are it wasn't cheap. With Daniel Radcliffe appearing down the block in previews for Equus, the sidewalks got even more crowded with fans and onlookers, thanks to Clay Aiken's splashy return to Spamalot. After leaving the show in April (and becoming a father last month), the pop phenom reassumed the role of Sir Robin and brought down the house with his seemingly effortless performance and an ace rendition of "You Won't Succeed on Broadway." Aiken's signed on through January 4, so if you missed him the first time, here's your chance to be impressed. And trust us, the guy's pretty darn amazing.

Thanks Lennon...

Monty Python's Spamalot" ($494,410) bumped up close to $80,000 to log the biggest jump of the week, with increased sales attributable in part to the Sept. 19 return of Clay Aiken. Perennial "The Phantom of the Opera" ($731,525) also rose by more than $75,000.

Clay is Back in Town!

If you are sad that [title of show] is leaving - fear not...Clay Aiken has returned to the rialto to reprise his role in Spamalot.  Earlier this year, Aiken made his triumphant Broadway with the show earning glowing reviews from the New York press and wild enthusiasm from his legion of fans.

Newsday said "Aiken is a charmer" and the Associated Press said that "Clay Aiken deftly handles supremely silly."

Aiken will return to the role of ‘Sir Robin' and will join the Broadway company that is headed by Michael Siberry and Merle Dandridge as ‘King Arthur' and ‘Lady of the Lake' respectively.

I just want to point out that the press release headline read "Only American Idol finalist to slay the vicious chicken of Bristol triumphantly returns to Broadway."  What in gosh name does that mean????
