They Knew Him When: Broadway Stars Cheer On American Idol Hopeful Adam Lambert

MEGAN HILTY
Hilty, who appeared with Lambert in Wicked, stars in the new Broadway musical 9 to 5.
How did you meet?
We met on tour with Wicked, and then worked together again in the L.A. company [of the show]. Since he was the Fiyero understudy we got to have our little moments together onstage, whenever I was lucky enough.
What did you think the first time you heard him sing?
The first time he went on as Fiyero, I couldn’t believe it. I was warned before how amazing he was, but you can only be prepared for so much. It’s funny because we’d go out and do karaoke for fun, and the whole party would stop when he got up to sing. It was kind of, like, ‘He’s too good, I can’t go after that!’ He’s a joy to be around, so they’re very lucky to be around him out there in Hollywood.
Favorite performance of his?
It was always during karaoke. There’s a DVD of it somewhere. Oh, God. It was some rock song I’ll never remember the name of, but the whole bar—people we didn’t even know—just stopped. No one could believe what they were hearing. His voice is in a different stratosphere.
Favorite memory?
Oh, gosh. We were always doing silly things. What I can say is he’s an excellent board game player, and we always wanted him on our team. He always won everything.
What kind of artist do you see him as?
One of the great things about Adam is I can’t say he’s the next so-and-so. He’s so unique, and has such a special talent that I think he’s going to be the next Adam Lambert.
What do you think when people say he is too “theatrical” for Idol?
I think saying someone’s too musical theater is b.s.! Frankly, that’s offensive. It’s the easy way out to try and find something wrong with him when there’s nothing wrong. It also gives a stigma about who “Broadway” people are. I mean, we’re not people that overly indicate and put on a show wherever we go. I’m tired of people putting the “Broadway label” on someone as if it were a bad thing.
Personal Song Request: He’s done so much rock stuff, I’d love him to show off any slow tunes in general. People think they’ve seen what he can do, but you haven’t seen anything yet. I think he’ll show it off. He’s a smart cookie!

What to do now to support Adam's new single
Things to do this week
1. Remember to have fun and get ready to enjoy the music!
2. If you do not stream music already, pick a streaming service you like and set up an account. Spotify is a good choice. You need to use an email address and/or Facebook account. I have an email/Facebook account I use for many Adam-related activities. It keeps this stuff isolated from any information about me and my life.
>> The following services are counted for BOTH the Billboard Singles and Album Chart: Amazon Prime Audio On-Demand, Beats Music Audio On-Demand, Google Play Audio On-Demand, Medianet Audio On-Demand, Medianet Audio Tethered, Rdio Audio On-Demand Plays (including non-DMCA radio), Rdio Audio Tethered Plays, Rhapsody Audio On-Demand Plays, Rhapsody Audio Tethered Plays, Slacker Audio On-Demand Plays, Spotify Audio On-Demand Plays (including non-DMCA radio), Xbox Music Audio On-Demand Plays (including non-DMCA radio) and Xbox Music Audio Tethered Plays.
>> The following services are ONLY tracked by Nielsen for the SINGLES chart: Amazon Prime Audio Radio Streaming, AOL Radio (powered by Slacker) Audio Radio Streaming, Milk (part of Slacker) Audio Radio Streaming, Rhapsody Audio Radio Streaming, Slacker Audio Radio Streaming, Vevo on YouTube Video On-Demand Plays, YouTube Video On-Demand Plays, VidZone Video On-Demand Plays and VidZone Video Video Streaming (non-demand).
Spotify On-Demand is a great choice -- counts for all the Billboard Charts: You need to download Spotify and install it, but I think it is worth the effort. This is my fav streaming site and it has the most influential playlists for pop music. Set up your account and follow artists with a lot of current hits (Mark Ronson would be a good choice) and follow Adam if you like him
. Tip: Streaming Adam’s music now will not help his new song chart when it is released.
3. Use social media. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, forums, etc. to post about Adam’s new music, post positive comments on articles about him, share news about Adam. Be talkative!!
4. If you don't already know it, find your local Mainstream Top 40 station. Go to their website and decide how you can connect with them. (If you don’t know your station, search on Google: <city name> “Top 40 Radio”.)
You might want to:
• Download their app to your phone.
• Join their e-mail mailing list.
• Like the station on Facebook.
• Follow them on Twitter.
• Follow their important DJs on Twitter – usually this is the Morning Drive-Time Show and the Evening Drive-Time Show.
• Be nice!!! I believe in karma. Adam fans have a reputation for being passionate but very nice. Let’s keep that rep alive and well
Do this so you know when they have contests that involve Adam and for song battle info. When you learn about something cool, pass it on!
Unless Adam or his management ask fans to request his song, do not make any requests.
