He was a co-host on the late-night Nine network quiz show, The Mint, as well as a regular singer on the game show The Singing Bee. Rob then originated the coveted lead male role of Fiyero in the Australian production of the Broadway musical Wicked. The show opened on 12 July 2008, in Melbourne where it ran for 13 months and continued the role when it toured Australia.

In August 2011, it was announced that Rob would host a new version of the iconic Australian talent show Young Talent Time, with co-production duties from original host Johnny Young.

And it’s just been announced that Rob is to star in, ‘Ghost the Musical,’ in the role made famous by Patrick Swayze in the original movie.  “What drew me to (Ghost) is that the songs (by Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics and Glen Ballard) are so fantastic. It’s a rock-pop musical and that’s my bag. I love that stuff,” Mills said.

But before all that happens Rob is popping in for two nights on Sept 25th and 26th to The Clink Theatre.  The Clink Theatre has pulled off this amazing coup to bring Rob and his one man show to Port Douglas.  Tickets are now available at Try Booking or Ph: 07 4015 3216
