Long before Adam Lambert delivered full-body chills to millions as an American Idol contestant, he was performing for smaller audiences in theater productions. So, now that he’s got national reach as a pop star, would he ever go back to his playhouse roots.
In a recent interview with Radio.com, Lambert says he appreciates that Broadway has become so popular with new and original shows, but that he’d be wary to return to its rigid formula. Read More: Would Adam Lambert Return to His Stage Roots On Broadway?

I don't think Adam ever wants to return to musicals, he says they are too rigid, although he doesn't count them out, but he was very bored doing them. He said recently he would like to do just what he is doing now, making his own music and touring. He doesn't cross it off his list, IMO because you never know when that is all there is offered. JMO
Didn't he say if the timing was right and he and/or someone wrote a fresh new one he wouldn't mind, but didn't want to do ones he as already done or that had been around for ages. Timing would be everything, I guess.
This is what Adam said recently in the Radio.com interview, an article that is also linked (embedded) within this Popcrush article::
"If I were going to do a musical, I would want it to be something new. I’d want to originate something. I wouldn’t want to step into something that the last guy did. I was getting frustrated with that with theater to begin with: when you get into these shows that have become “brands” — and I have a lot of respect for those shows — but it sort of gets so “locked in” to how it was originally staged, and that didn’t feel like the most creative opportunity. I want to have some input into how my character moves and dresses and sounds. And with these shows that have been running for a long time, it becomes like a theme park. “This is where you stand, this is how you say the line, this is how you sing the note, and you can’t do it any other way.” I hate being told what to do. So it needs to be like a collaboration."

Sometimes in life you have to accept being told what to do.......few of us like it, but we have responsibilities.
