VIDEO: First Look at Clay Aiken, Paige Davis, Donna McKechnie, & More in THE DROWSY CHAPERONE at Pittsburgh CLO

BroadwayWorld has a first look at Pittsburgh CLO's production of The Drowsy Chaperone starring Clay Aiken (Man in Chair), who returns to Pittsburgh CLO after hosting the 75th Anniversary Broadway Musical Celebration at Heinz Field. Audiences may also recognize him as Teen Angel in the 2019 production of Grease.

Clay also starred on Broadway, alongside Ruben Studdard, in Ruben & Clay's First Annual Christmas Carol Family Fun Pageant Spectacular Reunion Show at the Imperial Theater. The New York Times called the production 'A Christmas Miracle.' This came ten years after Clay's critically lauded Broadway debut in Monty Python's Spamalot.

On the heels of Idol, he became the first artist in history to have his first single debut at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. His subsequent album, Measure Of A Man, also debuted at #1 with the highest first week sales by a debut artist.

His 2004 holiday release, Merry Christmas With Love, set a record for the fastest selling holiday album of the SoundScan era and remains tied for the highest charting debut of a holiday album in Billboard history. He served 9 years as a UNICEF Ambassador and in 2003, he co-founded, with Diane Bubel, what is now the National Inclusion Project to advocate and increase opportunities for children with disabilities to be included in extracurricular activities (such as summer camps and after-school programs) with their non-disabled peers.

Additional TV appearances include: 30 Rock, The Office, Scrubs, Days Of Our Lives, and Law & Order: SVU. Additional 2nd place finishes include: The Celebrity Apprentice in 2012 and the NC 2nd District US House race in 2014.

Paige Davis (The Drowsy Chaperone) is best known as the effervescent host of the groundbreaking, Emmy-nominated design-reality show, Trading Spaces. Audiences may recognize Paige from her starring role in Miss Abigail's Guide to Dating, Mating, and Marriage at the CLO Cabaret, or as Maria in The Sound of Music. Paige kept up her hosting duties co-hosting Home and Family for the Hallmark Channel and was the host of OWN's Home Made Simple, for which she was nominated for a 2013 Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Host in a Lifestyle/Travel Program.

Paige gave a triumphant return to her role as Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway, and prior to shooting the reboot of Trading Spaces was seen in An Act of God, making Paige the first woman to play the role of God following in the footsteps of Jim Parsons and Sean Hayes.
