Bob and Rojas join the cast opposite Meg Donnelly as Satine, Christian Douglas as Christian, David Harris as The Duke of Monroth, André Ward as Toulouse-Lautrec and Samantha Dodemaide as Nini.

Rojas created the role of Santiago in Moulin Rouge! The Musical, first in Boston in 2018 and then for the show’s Broadway premiere in 2019. He made his Broadway debut in 2009 in Burn the Floor.
