Can I ask how you think he's miscasted? I know he's MUCH different than the original film's Eddie, but I think he'll be good! Maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised.
This is SO WRONG! What a waste of talent and appearance. He is perfect for Frank. perfect. Let Laverne Cox play Eddie and let Adam play Frank. What a shame.
Ah yes I see what everyone is saying now. I also think he would have been a great Dr. On the other hand, I think it's wonderful to have a transgender actress playing the lead because if nothing else, it's great exposure for the transgender community...especially on FOX.

Yeah, but there's that pesky little other thing - talent
Anyway, word is that Lambert turned the role of Frank down. Didn't want to be compared to Curry.
There's no way even that can save this garbage production. Put aside the horrendous casting they've already done...this is a sexually charged R rated musical that they're sanitizing for network TV. I mean...
" The guy pretends to be Freddie Mercury for a living doesn't want to be compared to Tim Curry! Fake it til you make it, I guess, Adam Lambert." said Namo.
Except Lambert was not pretending to be Freddie Mercury. He was officially standing in as a lead singer with Queen.
