It's one of the most common rejections on American Idol: 'Sorry, but you're better suited for Broadway.' But as we've seen over the past ten years, American Idol and the Broadway stage are not mutually exclusive - not by a long shot! In fact, it's the opposite: every single season of the show has either borrowed talent from the New York theatre or created stars that have rocked musicals on Broadway and/or on national tours across the country.

MEMPHIS star and American Idol alum Todrick Hall is the latest star to join the 'It Gets Better' campaign, created to remind kids to stay strong.

Jim Caruso is thrilled to welcome YouTube sensation MIRANDA SINGS back to the Broadway at Birdland concert series on Monday, October 4 at 7pm. The evening will be a celebration of all things Halloween, with dazzling costumes and a Miranda lookalike contest with prizes.

On Monday, September 20, Jay Armstrong Johnson made his solo concert debut as part of the Broadway at Birdland series. The house was packed with Broadway heavy hitters, including Hair co-author James Rado, Sara Gettelfinger, Todrick Hall, Jason Michael Snow and Alex Brightman.

The Off Broadway production of Alfred Preisser and Randy Weiner's CALIGULA MAXIMUS, at the Ellen Stewart Theatre, will be extended for one additional week to meet audience demand.

Opening night is set for March 19th, with scheduled performances on Thursday and Friday at 8pm, Saturday at 8pm and 10pm.

A night with a number of surprises rounded out the final separation of the guys and girls, as America found out the twelve contestants that will make up the finals of "American Idol." Each of the contestants sent home this evening had standout performance within the past three weeks and many contestants who did make it through were shocked at their fate.

"Idol" tonight saw the last separation between the men and women, with the top eight gentlemen performing before learning to the top twelve. The guys gave a solid show, showing versatility and an ability to adapt songs to their personal styles. It seems that, tonight, the guys as a group gave an overall better performance than the women did last night, in a surprisingly strong showing.

"Idol" surprised viewers tonight, sending the gentlemen on to perform instead of the previously scheduled women. At the top of the episode, Ryan Seacrest explained that fan favorite Crystal Bowersox was taken to the hospital and was recommended to not perform by her doctors. "Idol" producers, as well as the guys themselves, were accommodating and decided to go tonight and allow Bowersox the night to rest.

After last night's disappointing performance from the women, America, as well as the judges, was hoping from a step up from gentlemen. And, while they did have a better overall showing than the women, it was another disappointing night from the "Idol" contestants. Several of the performers were good, but none seemed to up the ante and knock their song out of the park.

According to the Huffington Post, American Idol Semi-Finalist Todrick Hall has caused some controversy regarding performance refunds for a show Hall wrote and directed.
