Candice Cain is the writer/director of the Amazon Prime series, New Dogs, Old Tricks.  On Tuesday, she posted on Facebook.  Her message and picture was about Clay Aiken:

It was a true pleasure directing Clay Aiken in my series “New Dogs, Old Tricks.” He was just PERFECT as Nathan, the self-serving resident director. So glad to have him as a part of our show!

In the comments section, someone asked..Is Clay now finished with his scenes in the show?

Her answer:

For episode 6, yes.

I hope that means that Clay will be in another episode or 2 as the show goes on!

Have you ever had the opportunity to see the Musical, Miss Saigon?  This spectacular musical debuted in London on September 20, 1989.  It arrived on Broadway in 1991.

Created by the Les Miserables team of Claude-Michel Schonberg and Alain Boublil, the 1970s-set Miss Saigon centers on the doomed romance between a Vietnamese woman and her American G.I. lover.

As of September 2015, Miss Saigon was still the 13th longest-running Broadway musical in musical theatre history.  It is  known for landing a helicopter on stage.

Although the show has had some criticism for not showing the “real” Viet Nam, it is one of the most popular shows from Broadway.  The music is just amazing.

On June 21, 2010, Clay Aiken and Quiana Parler performed one of the most popular duets from Miss Saigon. Titled, Last Night Of The World, their performance was a huge hit at the benefit concert for The North Carolina Theater.

What a beautiful song!!

Thank you, Clay and Quiana!!
