Bought tickets tonight in advance of what I’m sure will be renewed excitement/sales tomorrow. Incredible cast! Thrilled to have Jessie Mueller back on Broadway in a musical.

Literally did the exact same thing...got a single mezzanine center seat and it was one of the last seats they had under $100

After looking at the prices for Evita & Warriors, the Paddington prices seemed quaint in comparison.

I already got my Warriors tickets for second preview as soon as they went on sale...and I found one of the last cheap tickets for Evita under $100 so I’ve got all 3 of the biggest shows of the spring officially my radar

Quite gutted about Rob. We could've had his Applegate too.. Such a gifted performer and good person.

In order to do what? Appear in different sure-fire Broadway hit that would guarantee him well-paid employment for at least the next couple of years?

He declined going into a hot new musical for the Spring and he decided to stay on unemployment instead?

This is not something audiences care about nearly as much as you and people on this board do. 18 playing younger is hardly Ben Platt level egregiousness.

We have no idea what variables may have factored into McClure's decision, but sure, go on and mock him for making the decisions he felt was in his best interests. The guy has been around the block. I'm sure he knows what he is doing.
Posted: 11/9/26 at 8:32am
We weren’t mocking him, just legitimately wondering what better offer he could have gotten.

We were never, ever going to get his Applegate on Broadway. From day one the goal was to do the show at Arena as a proof of concept, then find a bigger star for Bway.

Isn't McClure famous for living in Philadelphia & commuting back & forth to NY when he's in a show? Maybe he just isn't up for that right now?
Also looks like he might have a recurring role on new TV show Cupertino.

Maybe Rob just isn't interested in a smallish thankless role. Maybe he does theater for passion, not a paycheck. Maybe he was never involved to begin with.
Posted: 11/9/26 at 9:33am
Doesn’t Rob also have young kids? Maybe he doesn’t want to do a huge Broadway show right now, for family reasons. This is a weird discussion.

How much of a star is NPH ? Rob McClure is more of a star to me and to everybody

Surely this isn't a serious statement.

Look who posted it. Of course it’s not.
McClure’s casting in this was never ever confirmed, merely rumored as being in talks, so it’s weird people are speculating about it. He is not the first actor to be in the mix for casting and ultimately not make it. The guy works constantly.

I would hope it isn't.

Agreed, he had a nice few episodes on "Cupertino" as Bo. And I'm sure he's in the mix for other things.
