VIDEO: Adam Lambert Talks Desire to Originate a Broadway Role: 'I Would Be Into It'

In a new interview with Radio.com, Adam Lambert discusses his career, his newest album "The Original High" and the possibility of making his Broadway debut in the near future!

"I've definitely gotten a few offers from the Broadway world," reveals the singer. "That was what I was doing before Idol. I did a broadway national tour of Wicked,"

Asked what his dream role would be, the Idol runner-up says he'd love to originate a role. "If I were going to do a musical, I would want it to be something new." He continues, "I'd want to originate something. I wouldn't want to step into something that the last guy did. I was getting frustrated with that with theater to begin with: when you get into these shows that have become "brands" - and I have a lot of respect for those shows - but it sort of gets so "locked in" to how it was originally staged, and that didn't feel like the most creative opportunity. I want to have some input into how my character moves and dresses and sounds. And with these shows that have been running for a long time, it becomes like a theme park. "This is where you stand, this is how you say the line, this is how you sing the note, and you can't do it any other way." I hate being told what to do. So it needs to be like a collaboration."

Lambert also comments on the current state of musical theater and his excitement over some of the newer shows now running in NYC. "I've heard that Broadway is in a good space right now: the shows are good and people are wanting to see them which is fantastic. So, if it were the right project that felt interesting I would be into it. For me personally it would have to feel different. As somebody who has been doing theater since I was a kid... I think that contemporary theater has a very specific sound and approach and a lot of people sound exactly the same in the way they sing the material, and do the scenes, and it's become homogenized. And it's hard for me to sit and watch some of it, because it doesn't feel organic or that it has any vibe. It feels "trained." And I can't place the blame on the performers: everybody needs to get work. But it's this style, so people say, "That's what's working, I've got to do it like this."
