[@finnsaffelsipes]

my next audition you bet your butt I will be thinking "chill out people are dying"

[@karlabeador1556]

Rob is too pure for this world. We don’t deserve him

[@ALLARTSTV]

We're not worthy.

[@littlestrangunusual]

Rob seems like the nicest guy!

[@ALLARTSTV]

He has really been wonderful to work with.

[@njemergencychaser5508]

He is. We graduated from the same highschool obviously not at the same time but he came back for benefit concerts and was always the most supportive and kindest guy you could’ve met

[@liyahnee]

1:49 Say My Name in summary

[@laa7889]

Lolllll

[@notsapphires]

LOL

[@sophiaredwood5825]

“We live in a world where no job is safe. You can get screwed over by any job. So why not go after the one that makes you happy?” Dang, that hit deep

[@Megan-zk2fm]

Rob is the greatest. And he’s such a great father too. Before the show, and saw him walking his baby in a stroller through NYC. What a great father, and actor. Beetlejuice was my favorite broadway show I’ve ever seen

[@NevermoreMadGirl]

He seems like such a beautiful man. I really hope (especially after seeing this) that I get a chance to talk to him more the next time that I go to see the show.

[@ALLARTSTV]

Did you hear the news? He's going to be leaving Beetlejuice soon to star in Ms. Doubtfire! Perhaps you can see him then.

[@aderiusscott2220]

Once I seen Rob on the street when he was doing the tour for "Something Rotten" and I was like where do I know this guy? I was like omg that's Rob McClure..😳

[@ZacBrzuchalski]

I got to work backstage at The Muny in 2011 when Rob was Little Shop Of Horrors and worked backstage at the Muny in 2015 when rob was in Into The Woods. Rob is such an amazing performer and such a wonderful guy. One night during Into The Woods everything was going wrong backstage and i was at the point of crying and Rob swooped in and gave me a big bear hug and gave me a pep talk while we hugged...... i will cherish that moment the rest of my life.

[@luthientinuviel3883]

He sounds like a really nice guy!

[@samanthaschurwan9081]

He did so amazing in those shows too!

[@timothy3848]

Gosh i love this Musical!! listening to the album every day in my room all the way here in Germany. Hope to see it next year

[@ALLARTSTV]

It's one worth seeing, for sure.

[@wanneo.3235]

Same I am so obsessed. I also live in Germany. Hope to see it one day

[@peterstoop5054]

oh no it closed... But they are opening a tour in a few years!

[@emvikagaming]

This is the "people stuck in Germany" club, hellooooooo xD Also, big sad that I never got to see it live at the Winter Garden Hope they find a new theater though and I hope that their tour goes well :D

[@johannaplockl463]

Same, I live in germany too. I am so sad that I'll never see sophia belting her heart out in the winter garden, or presleys acting or danas sweet screams. Or Rob and Kerry dying. Or Leslie being confused all the time. And most importantly Alex constantly being the natural disaster he is. Shit. This made me sad again. I wish I could turn back the time or smth.

[@chrissamccoy952]

Man I hope Beetlejuice is on Broadway for a long time.

[@JoeHarrell]

I think it will be, but Rob is leaving to star in Mrs. Doubtfire!

[@averybaravik7213]

*gets evicted*

[@myrakelley7003]

Now they getting evicted 😭

[@exquisite3376]

oop

[@worm4165]

So I'm here to let you know about the tragedy that occurred

[@the_salem_reese]

“chill out there are people dying” rob mcclure has had my heart since beetlejuice started out. this show means everything to me:)))

[@giovanasouza2200]

I just started crying when he mentioned the note in the seat he sat to see Cats. He is the best!

[@CantDraw-bq6pj]

He seems really sweet and humble. It's weird to see after only really knowing him as Nick Bottom 😂😂 This guy has talent

[@emmamcnamara8677]

my biggest idol. so inspiring and such a great person with great talent a great family and just SO MUCH OVERALL GREATNESS

[@marcodissa]

Chaplin is still one of the most emotional show I've ever watched. It deserved way more success. Still it made me discover this incredibly talented man with such a pure and joyous heart. Beetleejuice is such a fun, clever musical, with one of the strongest cast ever been. And he loves Nintendo and video games! How cannot I find his picture in the dictionary at the P of "Perfect" (I mean the adjective, not the songwriter)?!

[@ALLARTSTV]

Petition to start a "Justice for Chaplin" co-signed.

[@JD-ht7yw]

Rob’s speech really inspired me, as I want to be a performer. Thank you!

[@baileylewallen8483]

Was that Sophia sitting in the audience of Robs talkback?

[@nadiagrace.]

Yeah! She had the biggest smile on her face too!!♥

[@Disneyfreak_8]

I didn’t know about Rob McClure until Beetlejuice in 2019 but I’ve been a huge fan since! I just saw Rob and Miranda in the touring production of Mrs. Doubtfire and they were absolutely amazing!!

[@korbinjohnson5084]

Sadie is the cutest freaking thing

[@firefly8447]

This gives me hope that there is a professionally recorded version of the show floating around somewhere

[@worm4165]

There is. Every single one does. Except I feel like they can't release due to their budget. They didn't earn as much as Hamilton did, which is one of the reasons why they're getting evicted

[@otherlandz]

man i love rob i miss him :(

[@emmysarji8247]

sophia was just sitting in the audience smiling

[@andresfelipe619]

Oh wow... I used to do the same thing to warm up before my sound checks every day! It is a really great way of getting the blood going!

[@ALLARTSTV]

Definitely an impressive workout!

[@MechMolar]

Rob seems like a delight! Infact the entire cast of beetlejuice does,i hope i get to see the show in person! Though i am slightly sad Rob left the cast i wish him and the entire bj cast well!!

[@GraphHD]

I remember talking with Rob and Maggie after their performance of Something Rotten in Des Moines, Iowa and out of all the people I've met, he was the one that seemed to want to have the most genuine conversation. He was talking about how when they performed there for Avenue Q years ago how different Des Moines was from today and it was the first time I really felt that actors were the same as the audience and then they disappeared into the night.

[@JadeTheorist3942]

Rob is an Angel!! 😇😍

[@austinpuppy]

Can’t wait to see him in Mrs. Doubtfire!!!

[@LovisasMustasch]

The running throw the seats was so fun haha love you Rob!

[@MarcusMartn]

I loved him in Honeymoon In Vegas

[@purplequeen8318]

HI Rob!!!! Loved the show!!

[@broadwaycorner]

Whose still here after he announced he’s leaving the show?

[@kelly-sophiemekel5531]

7:00 the part about tony Danza, is really good to hear! ive worked at a theatre during a couple of productions and did my best to at least memorize peoples names. and it always felt so nice if people from cast or crew would know who i was too.

[@vsteimle]

it is so sad beetlejuice is ending

[@ren9879]

Exactly....

[@tinkthebard2969]

There's a girl in Luxembourg who has been listening to the original cast recording for at least a month and hopes she can see the musical once^^

[@elizabeth5985]

I thought I loved Rob McClure as much as I could love him. I did not realize there was any more love left to give. Turns out, there was. And he has such a lovely wife who is a fabulous actress herself, and a sweetie pie baby!

[@ALLARTSTV]

We also

[@PrincessMeggala0913]

Was.....was that Sofia hiding back there in the talk-back???

[@baileylewallen8483]

Meg Willsher Yeah! I think so!

[@luisomarlagosandrade2298]

Rob seems like such a friendly and pure human being! Seems like a cool guy to hang out with :D 1:13 I had never seen that, I guess its to check the projections are lined up with the set! Man this show is (was? Hopefully *IS* because I have yet to see it live) so amazing and breathtaking... Was that Sophia listening to the talkback???? 3:41

[@forthehonorofgayskull7396]

Yes it was omg that’s so sweet

[@julietalencina6264]

all theater kids when they heard tech: TECH WEEKKKKK AYYY *crys on the inside*

[@singenstattatmen5096]

Happy to be the 1000th like on this. 😁 Rob seems absolutely lovely.

[@sometimesitbelikethatallth7234]

They didn’t even eat their food 💀

[@anidleteen]

How does Rob remember the exact seat he sat in? I've been to the theatre about 2 times with my schools, and I'm still not sure if I went to the same theatre for one as what Heather's West End was in

[@natashacosentino6322]

Nooooo rob is leaving the show😭😭😭 Whyyyyy

[@turtleflower416]

I have a scheduled FaceTime with Rob soon, so I’ve been watching a ton of videos about him to prepare myself 😳

[@solangealbertocasas6686]

Ok but Rob is the nicest :')

[@stuck_in_a_room_with_cats]

How surprised was rob when he saw in the script that he gets kiss by Beetlejuice/Alex Brightman

[@Analblockage]

I hope this series continues once this shutdown is over.

[@AJ-os1pq]

So sad now that he left

[@ella-tm1tp]
