Beyond his TV persona, Mo Rocca brings his quick wit and offbeat charm to the Broadway stage. Though primarily known as a correspondent on CBS Sunday Morning and a panelist on Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!, Rocca has proven himself a seasoned theatre pro. He earned critical acclaim for his portrayal of the uptight Vice Principal Panch in the comedic musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, his comedic timing a perfect counterpoint to the quirky students.
Rocca’s Broadway journey began earlier, however, with the Southeast Asian tour of the iconic musical Grease. There, he donned the leather jacket and pompadour of Doody, injecting playful energy into the beloved greaser gang. Whether tackling complex characters or charming audiences with his comedic delivery, Mo Rocca proves that his talents extend far beyond the screen, adding his unique brand of humor and heart to the magic of Broadway.
