At age of 10 Adam Lambert played the part of Linus in the play "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown" at the San Diego Lyceum Theater and he caught the performing bug then and there.

Carmel High School he was part of the theater group, sang in the choir and performed with the jazz band.
Once he graduated from high school, Adam Lambert moved to Orange County to go to college. But he quickly realized that his real talent lay in performing and that is what he wanted to do. So he moved to Los Angeles and attempted to take on the theater world while working multiple part time jobs.
In 2004 Adam Lambert, at the Kodak Theater, had a small part in The Ten Commandments: The Musical with Val Kilmer. Although it was a small role for Adam Lambert, it was critically noteworthy of his talents. He also had regular performances at the Zodiac Show and Adam Lambert performed at the Upright Cabaret. Adam Lambert had an understudy role for the character of Fiyero in the Los Angeles casts of "Wicked".
