American Idol star Broadway-bound?

Singer David Hernandez, who was eliminated from 'American Idol' last week, has auditioned for a role in the hit musical 'Rent' on Broadway.

MTV News reports that Hernandez auditioned for the role of Roger, a HIV-positive musician and former drug addict.

The producers were reportedly impressed with Hernandez's voice, but felt that he was not right for a lead role, given his lack of theatre experience.

However they are considering casting him in a smaller role, and will make a decision within the next few weeks.
