From the comments:
I went to see 'Grease' here in Los Angeles and he was in it in a really small role--one song and 5 minutes on stage. Thank god for that, he was excruciating with his geeky dance moves and harmonica playing! After the play was over he got on stage to sing one of the songs from his new CD and it was like we were trapped in a taylor hicks concert and couldn't get out fast enough. People were streaming up the aisles to get out and not have to hear his song. Pretty bad when you just want to get to your car and go home at 10 pm on a Friday night!
