Rob Evan
Robert Buchen known professionally as Robert "Rob" Evan is an American actor and singer, best known as the lead performer in numerous Broadway musicals, a performer in national and international tours of musical productions, and a featured vocalist on various music albums.
Evan, a native of Monticello, Georgia, said in a personal interview:
"I grew up in Monticello, Georgia, and I was a football player at UGA, and that's the first time I saw Les Mis — twenty years ago here at the Fox. It just made me go, I want to do this for a living. I was just a business major, I had wanted to go to law school, but this show lit the fire... I ended up auditioning at a Les Mis open call 'a la American Idol' two years later. I waited ten hours to sing sixteen bars of Stars. He walked out with the proverbial gold ticket. 'I thought it was going to be instant stardom and cash, not knowing any better."
In 1989, he was the first recipient of the Georgia Music Hall of Fame Talent Award. He walked on to the varsity football team as a kicker/punter at the University of Georgia, where he majored in Finance and graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in 1990.
He met his ex-wife, Beate, while working on a cruise ship as one of four lead singers in a musical review. Beate is originally from Norway. Shortly after his time on the ship, he moved to New York City to pursue a career on Broadway. During his early days in New York City, Evan waited tables in Times Square. He and Beate have three children.
After a few community theater roles, Evan's first professional role was in the ensemble for South Pacific in Atlanta, Georgia in 1990.
Evan performed in the 1995 US tour of Jekyll & Hyde as Theo Davenport. Most notably, he played the title roles in the original Broadway production of Jekyll & Hyde for over three years, from the years 1997 until 2000, and over 600 performances. One of his performances was professionally recorded as a rehearsal for the DVD version with David Hasselhoff and is currently available on YouTube. Evan has continued to perform in touring productions of the show, appearing alongside Linda Eder, Luba Mason, Coleen Sexton, Christiane Noll, Anastasia Barzee and Andrea Rivette, as his leading ladies.
He appeared in multiple productions of Les Misérables, including on Broadway and at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, Georgia. His roles include Jean Valjean and Enjolras.
