Great White Way Ridiculous

Posted Jan 21st 2008 2:07PM by TMZ Staff

Clay Aiken's Saturday night debut in Broadway's "Spamalot" was full of absurdity -- and not because of Monty Python's material.


As Aiken made his debut at Broadway's "Spamalot" on Saturday, TMZ was in the house and -- believe us -- the Shubert Theater was full of middle-aged housewives (who comprise the Claymates) elbowed and bitched their way through a crazy throng to get their Romeo's autograph.

If Kelly Ripa doesn't want him touching her, there are definitely plenty of 40-and-overs who do!

1. What these idiots in the media don't seem to realize is that the Baby Boomers comprise one quarter of the US population. We are by far the dominant demographic - by a bunch! The media and the music industry don't dictate to us; we dictate to them. Maybe if they'd ever figure that out and quit targeting the tweenies, their business wouldn't be in the toilet like it is currently.

2. Amazing....how people trash Clay and don't even know him.....he's developing his craft...and not getting into the headlines by getting drunk, driving stoned, or forgetting that he has children...

I say grow up!!

3. I saw the show. He actually can act, and was very funny! I had the chance to meet him one on one after the show, and he is a really nice person, quite genuine. Good for him!

8. For a small guy he has a super-sized tool. I caught a glimpse of him geting undressed in the locker room at LA Fitness and was in awe! Seems that some people have it all.

13. Why doesn't this loser just COME OUT of the closet already!!?! He would be much more interesting if he did. Lance Bass came out and all of a sudden people started to notice (and like) him.

15. Saw the original show and it was great. Good for Clay - looks like he's having a good time. I'm still trying to find all those over-40 housewives in the stage door video though. I'm seeing plenty of young women and men mixed in with the crowd. How do you know who's the housewife?
