Taylor Hicks To Join Broadway’s ‘Grease’
When was the last time you heard the name Taylor Hicks?!?
Looks like the season 5 American Idol winner has finally found himself some work after having a mediocre at best music career.
The “American Idol” alum will join the Broadway cast of “Grease” on June 6, playing Teen Angel in the revival of the popular musical.
“It’s a big number, and, you know, I’ve made some pretty grand entrances before,” Hicks told The Associated Press on Thursday. “And this one is probably the grandest entrance I’ve had in my career.”
“If you’re gonna be a great entertainer and you’re gonna be a great performer, than these are the things that you have to do to season yourself in that manner,” said Hicks, who views this “opportunity of a lifetime” as a way to improve his “Idol”-tested skills.
With Hicks no longer restricted to doing what American Idol says, the singer looks to release a second album soon saying, “I’ve had the creative freedom and the time to write some of the best music that I’ve ever written in my whole life. … The options are unlimited and there has been some great interest now that I’m a free agent, so to speak,”
