The New York Times reviewer of Where's Charley? wrote, "McClure scampers to and fro with tireless energy, flouncing in and out of his skirts with comic verve, employing a funny, pinched falsetto when Charley is impersonating his aunt. … Mr. McClure [is] a nimble dancer and terrific singer. He also performed at the Walnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia, in the play Amadeus in 2011 as Mozart. He had previously performed at that theatre in The Producers and Oliver!. He appeared in mid-2013 at The Muny, St. Louis, Missouri in Shrek the Musical as Lord Farquaad, and in Mary Poppins as Bert.
