I doubt he'll win since the show closed, but he should at least be nominated. I thought he was brilliant.

I'm sure he'll be nominated. Would be cool if he toured with the show.

I love Rob McClure and I think he totally deserves a nomination. I think he will be nominated, but he really has no chance of winning since Chaplin is no longer on Broadway.

I thought he gave a winning performance in a terrible show. Not easy to do. I certainly hope he gets nominated. But I'm not sure winning is in his future.
But what do any of us know, right?

I don't know.. Dorothy Loudon won for the Figs Leaves are Falling long after the show closed. There is always a chance. It was quite a performance.

Except that Rob McClure will have Billy Porter, Stark Sands, and Bertie Carvel to contend with and they are all formidible. Rumor also has it that Hugh Jackman will play Fanny Brice in Funny Girl so there's that too.

Dorothy Loudon was nominated for The Fig Leaves Are Falling, but Angela Lansbury won for Dear World that year.

Well Patricia Routledge definitley won for DArling of the DAy and that was closed.
Leslie Uggams won fo rHallelujah Baby and I fairly certain that was also closed.

I'm not even confident he'll be nominated. (I think he was excellent, however.) I don't think he has a chance to win.

Julie White won the Tony for Best Actress for The Little Dog Laughed . . . long after the play had closed.

Rob McClure was sensational in Chaplin.

Yes, stranger things have happened....but not too often.

I also think James Thomas of Pippin will be highly considered. Timing has an awful lot to do with things.

I think he's worthy of a nom, just doubtful it will happen.

(And of course, I never understand worrying about 'winners' before nominations are made or all shows have even opened.)

I will be upset if McClure isn't nominated. He was wonderful. But really, who are other leading actors in musicals this year?? I doubt Matthew James Thomas will win for Pippin (and this is coming from someone who is moderately obsessed with that production...at least based on the run at the A.R.T.).

I really think Rob deserves this award but with all of the new shows coming out, they might forget about Chaplin

I'm surprised that the Wildhorn fans aren't automatically nominating Constantine Maroulis...
