"American Idol" Ace Young Greases Up Broadway!

Following in the footsteps of other former "American Idol" contestants - Ace Young has made his way to Broadway! The Season 5 semi-finalist has begun a four-month run in New York’s Brooks Atkinson Theatre in the role of Kenickie in the Tony nominated revival.

We definitely remember Ace from a couple of season's ago. One of our main issues with "American Idol" was the lack of good-looking guys that make it to the Top 12 - and Ace was definitely the exception. But not the only one - the mega-HOT Chris Daughtry was also a contestant that year! (Unfortunately - the not hot Taylor Hicks won that season.)

Anyway - it looks like the 27-year-old's still got it! As you can see from these backstage shots taken last week! Great face - and a nice torso!

Not to mention a hot set of abs!

Like we said before - Ace isn't the first "AI" alum to make it to the Theatre District! Others include Tamyra Gray in "Rent", Clay Aiken in "Spamalot" and the aforementioned Taylor Hicks - who also was in this "Grease" revival.

There's more shots of Ace Young rehearsing for his Broadway run below! Also - check out some of Ace's past hotness HERE! He'll be on stage in the role until mid-January 2009!

Enjoy!

HOT FIND: Ace Young's New Look!!

I know you remember the eye candy of the 5th Season of "American Idol" - right? Ace Young?

Well - he really didn't impress with his vocal skills during his run in the competition, but he did with his looks. And now - it seems that he is back banking on those same talents.

It looks like now that the tour is over - he is coming out with his own brand of pop music - and is all ready to bring himself back into the spotlight.

I was never really a fan when he was on the show - but I have to admit this new version of Ace is definitely an eye-catcher! Glad he cut back some the hair - he's looking pretty good!! (The other two photo are from Ace's "Idol" days.)
