Why see Mrs. Doubtfire?
Pre-Broadway Tryout
She's the nanny we all wanted in the '90s and now she's back to give the 21st century a spin in this brand new musical adaptation of the beloved 1993 classic! From the minds behind Something Rotten! and Hello, Dolly! the Broadway-bound production looks set to capture the film's original fun and chaos - with added theatrical pizazz. Starting performances this winter, make sure you get your tickets early for what is set to be the highlight of the holidays!
Starring Sally Fields and the late great Robin Williams, Mrs. Doubtfire was an instant hit on its release, capturing audiences hearts with the story of Daniel, recently divorced dad who comes up with a novel way to spend more time with his kids - becoming their elderly Scottish nanny - Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire. Charming his way into their lives, he soon becomes a fixture. But when questions start to arise about just who this Mrs. Doubtfire is, it looks like he's gonna need a lot more than a makeover to hide from this fallout.

Non stop laughter
I am a veteran of over 100 musicals and plays from Broadway, London’s West End, and touring groups across the US. This fresh adaptation of the movie was innovative ,eye popping and very, very, funny. Scene after scene, song after song took me on a journey of wonder and surprise. A huge reason for its success is the unflappable energy of the lead, Rob McClure. He sings, he dances, he juggles, he does 50 voices, he...well he is like a Decuple threat(look it up...it’s a thing 10X threat). ... Read more

Very strong cast.
While Rob McClure was the star of the show. I saw him this summer in beatlejuice and I really like his energy. I was however most impressed with the performance of Jen Gambatese. A very strong presence and a great voice. My daughter loved the song "you've created a monster" a fun song but I thought the vocals were muddy. Not sure if it was the theaters sound system that was the problem. ... Read more
