Adam Lambert appeared on the Kelly Clarkson Show recently where he talked about starring as The Emcee in Cabaret. Lambert commented that, as someone who started out doing musical theatre before he got his start in music on American Idol, this seems like a dream finally realized.
“This childhood dream of being in a Broadway show is finally coming true,” he said. “It’s really, really fun.”
Lambert went on to talk about the character himself, and what he loves about playing him.
“He is wild and weird,” Lambert said. “It’s very me. I get to wear a little eyeshadow, I’m happy. He’s very strange and a bit provocative and a bit naughty.”
