Robert Yacko

Actor, Singer, Dancer, Director

  AEA * SAG -AFTRA

Experienced  and respected in theater from one coast to the other, Robert is known  as a remarkably versatile actor and singer. Well trained at Temple  University and The Juilliard School, he is equally at home in Repertory, on Broadway and in front of a camera.  He co-starred in 2019 in the Off-Broadway Musical Play, "Two's A Crowd", opposite comedienne extraordinaire, Rita Rudner


An  admitted character actor from his early years, and blessed with a rich  lyric baritone of effortless range, he has been described as an  "absolutely natural all around leading man",  garnering epithets for his  work that lean from "raucous" and "hilariously deadpan" all the way to  "emotionally intense" and "broodingly dark".  


Robert starred in the Los Angeles Premieres of Sondheim's Sunday in the Park with George and Chess, the West Coast Premieres of Legacy of Light and Romance, Romance, and debuted a Bernstein aria never heard before in performance in The Bernstein Peter Pan. He also appeared in the celebrated Jason Robert Brown/Alfred Uhry opus Parade at the Mark Taper Forum. His 2017 Sondheim concert performances include the roles of Ben in Follies and Fredrik in A Little Night Music.

Robert  has had the honor of sharing the stage with luminaries such as Carol  Burnett, Leslie Uggams, Herschel Bernardi and Theodore Bikel, and has  had the fortunate opportunity to work under the direction of the great  Jerome Robbins. He can also proudly count himself as one of Cyd  Charisse's dance partners. 


A  true triple threat,  Robert's other talents include work in numerous  accents, opera, folk guitar, piano, saxophone, stage combat, sport  fencing and horsemanship. He is also the "Voice of God" at the L.A.  Stage Alliance's annual Ovation Awards ceremony and he debuted his new  solo cabaret act, Opening Doors, in August of 2017. Robert had just completed pre-production and was about to go into rehearsal as the Director of Musical Theater Guild's "Rewind 2" Benefit when the world shut down.

Solo Cabaret "Opening Doors

"Opening  Doors is certainly a wonderfully riveting presentation of songs  and stories of this terrific singer's life. His powerhouse voice pulls  you in, keeps you listening attentively and never lets go. Don't miss  Robert Yacko when he performs this or any other show. "
