American Idols to reunite at Bethesda Theatre January 22, 2024
Two of the highest-profile contestants from the golden age of American Idol will reunite at the historic Bethesda Theatre at 7719 Wisconsin Avenue on January 22, 2024. Ruben Studdard was named the American Idol as the winner of the blockbuster TV show's second season in 2003. Clay Aiken was the runner-up that year, losing by only 134,000 votes out of 24,000,000 ballots cast by viewers, according to Broadcasting & Cable magazine. Both were fan favorites, and have remained friends ever since.
Now Studdard and Aiken will reunite for an evening at the famed art deco theater with entertainment as the goal, rather than competition. The booking is apparently so new, it isn't even listed on the official tour website as of this writing. When it does appear, VIP packages that include a special soundcheck performance with meet-and-greet should be available for the biggest Idol fans.
It's a great show (fan here). I traveled to Charlotte and Cincinnati to see them, so it's nice of them to come to me!
