Rob McClure is a Bergen County boy who has emerged in the last decade as one of the top stars of Broadway and a Tony Award Nominee. Rob brings his versatility as a singer, dancer and entertainer to our stage. It's a one night-only debut especially for all his neighbors and fans back home. Rob will bring with him several friends and special guests, including Nicky and Rod from Avenue Q, Jersey Boy and Broadway veteran Matthew Scott, a chorus of New Jersey's most promising up-and-coming teen talent, plus a major Broadway star who will knock your socks off.
Rob is perhaps best known for his acclaimed portrayal of Charlie Chaplin in Chaplin, The Musical, which earned him not only a Tony Nomination but Drama League, Astaire and Outer Critics Circle nominations and Theatre World and Clive Barnes awards. He's making his solo concert debut at bergenPAC directly after starring on Broadway alongside Andrea Martin and Megan Hilty in the highly anticipated revival of Noises Off. He starred opposite Tony Danza in the critically acclaimed Broadway musical Honeymoon In Vegas, which garnered him a 2015 Drama League Award nomination. Other Broadway credits include the Tony Award-winning best musical Avenue Q and the 2002 revival of I'm Not Rappaport alongside theatre legends Judd Hirsch and Ben Vereen. He charmed audiences and critics alike with his performances in the title role of Where's Charley? and as Nestor in Irma La Douce at New York City Center Encores!, and he delighted 92nd Street Y audiences in Kathleen Marshall's salute to MGM musicals, Going Hollywood.
A favorite on the Philadelphia theatre scene, Rob won two Barrymore Awards for best actor in a musical for his performances at the Arden Theatre and 11th Hour Theatre Company, and he starred as Mozart in Amadeus at the Walnut Street Theatre. Rob made his film debut in the award-winning short, Recursion, directed by Sam Buntrock, for which he won Best Actor at The Queen's World Film Festival and The Williamsburg Independent Film Festival. He made his TV debut guest starring on the CBS series, Person Of Interest.
Born and raised in New Milford, he got his start on stage at New Milford High. He then branched out with the Bergen County Players in Oradell, before being recognized with the Rising Star Award from the Paper Mill Playhouse, which has become an artistic home for him. Having performed on stages from Carnegie Hall to the 11,000 seat St. Louis MUNY to the La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego, he's now coming home and sharing some of his favorite songs and stories with those who helped him make his mark.
