My Second Look At Playbills

My Second Look At Playbills

If you're anything like me, you occa-sionally like to thumb through your old Playbills just to see whether you've previ-ously seen any stars before they've entered our public consciousness.

Recently, as I was alphabetizing all my Playbills, I came across my unusually large stash from Wicked. With all the recent buzz surrounding "American Idol" contestant Adam Lambert, I was surprised to find that his name was indeed in the Playbill I've kept after seeing the very first touring company of the musical when it initially touched down in Chicago in 2005.

While I honestly can't say I specifically remember seeing Adam Lambert, I now realize I have the bragging rights of saying I saw him perform live way back when.

And wouldn't you know it, the performance I saw was four years ago today.

Adam Lambert: Broadway Beckons


Adam Lambert: Broadway Beckons

While the American Idol won't be among what is sure to be Adam Lambert's lengthy list of credits through what I expect to be a highly lucrative and super-successful career, let's remember that he honed his amazing presence in live theatre, including his stint as Fiyero on the Left Coast in Wicked.

No matter what happened last evening, Lambert will surely be dancing through the rest of his life. I'm just hoping it includes a swing through Broadway in the not-too-distant future.

Congratulations to both Lambert and Kris Allen! They're both winners in my humble opinion.
