Adam Lambert is now a household name thanks to his exposure on AMERICAN IDOL, the singing sensation has hit New York City and the Season 8 runner-up will be making the media rounds all this week.

Lambert taped a performance of 'Mad World' this morning for the CBS Early Show, the segment will air on Thursday, May 28th. Lambert was a true stand out this season, the young Los Angeles based singer usually had the audience in the palm of his hand with one swooning performance after another.

Once his stint on the American Idol Live 2009 Summer Tour is over, a few well known Broadway producers are very eager for him to work his magic on the New York stage.

Adam Lambert appeared in "Wicked" twice, once with the touring company in March 2005 for a six month contract, and then opening in the sitdown Los Angeles production in February 2007 and remaining with the show until October 2008. For both engagements in "Wicked", he was a member of The Ensemble and understudied the role of Fieryo, the show's love interest. "Wicked" interestingly enough was not one of the productions mentioned in regards to his hoped for casting.

In addition to performing in WICKED, Adam Lambert also had a role in The Ten Commandments and appeared in The Zodiac Show.

AMERICAN IDOL is created and executive-produced by Simon Fuller, founder of 19 Entertainment; and executive-produced by Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO, FremantleMedia North America; and Ken Warwick, executive producer, FremantleMedia North America.
