Taylor Hicks Gives Broadway A New Lift!
According to the New York Post, Taylor Hicks is responsible for giving "Grease" and Broadway a new lift! Ummmm....excuse the Hell Out Of Us...But...THAT IS NO SURPRISE....LOL! Here is an exerpt:
"It got a little lift from the Tonys, but its real draw this summer is "American Idol" winner Taylor Hicks, who's playing Teen Angel.
An insider says Hicks is worth at least $150,000 in extra ticket sales a week.
(Make a note of that, Mr. Agent.)
Whenever Hicks whips out his harmonica, the audience goes nuts.
They're having such a blast that the "Grease" megamix at the end of the show - this is where the critics ran screaming from the theater - now runs 10 minutes, with Hicks singing the title song and then playing it on his harmonica.
Meanwhile, the producers of the show are no longer flinching from the critical blows but are starting to have fun with them."
