While it would seem really difficult to replicate the magic that was captured in just about every frame of the celluloid classic 'From Justin to Kelly,' a brave duo has decided to try bringing similar thrills and chills to the stage in a new revue focused on the few, the proud, the obsessives who believe that Clay Aiken will save the world.

'Idol: The Musical,' which is to open Off Broadway in New York City on July 5, is described as "a satirical look" at the phenomena known as Clay-Mania -- a thumbnail that strikes us as being almost as redundant as "a soporific rendition of 'You Light Up My Life.'"Be that as it may, the show's characters manage to sink to the bottom of the social totem pole in Steubenville, Ohio by dint of their unwavering faith in feats of Clay.

Sounds like a pretty thankless position to be in, if you ask us -- but not quite as thankless as, say, working as Ryan Seacrest's eyebrow waxer.
