Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken will reunite for the new Broadway Christmas concert, Ruben & Clay's First Annual Christmas Carol Family Fun Pageant Spectacular Reunion Show (or, Ruben & Clay's Christmas Show).

The American Idols will play the Imperial Theatre December 7-30, with opening night set for December 11. Jeffrey Chrzczon, Side Effects Include, and Josh Pultz/Amplified Entertainment serve as producers.

Studdard and Aiken will reunite onstage for the first time since the second season American Idol finale in 2003, which named Studdard winner and Aiken runner-up. Tickets will benefit the National Inclusion Project, the leading voice for the inclusion of children with disabilities. The concert will feature Christmas songs, hilarious scenes and sketches, and a live band.
