Bob will play Harold Zidler, the flamboyant impresario of the Moulin Rouge, for an eight-week limited run beginning January 27. He will follow Wayne Brady, who leaves the show November 9, and Robert Petkoff, who will step into the role from November 11 through January 25."

Featuring powerhouse numbers such as One Night Only, the title anthem Dreamgirls, and the showstopping And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going, the show won six Tony Awards and set a new standard for the fusion of R&B, soul, and musical theater storytelling."
