Tony-nominated Rob McClure dons the curly wig once again as Daniel/Mrs.Doubtfire in this national tour after debuting the role originally on Broadway. A strong talent of the stage, McClure has his fair share of comedic work with shows such as CHAPLIN, HONEYMOON IN VEGAS and most recently BEETLEJUICE under his belt. People who love the original film will be glad to know that McClure skillfully embodies the heart and humor of Robin Williams’ iconic role, delivering a performance that honors the original while making the role his own. His comedic timing and vocal talents anchor the production. At the same time, his seamless transitions between the bumbling Daniel to the charming, quick-witted Doubtfire are downright impressive. Truly, it takes a talent like McClure to elicit laughter and empathy throughout the show’s runtime.
