“Mrs. Doubtfire takes the inimitable character crafted by the late Robin Williams and presents a poignant musical experience with something for audiences of all ages,” said Frances Egler, Vice President of Theatrical Programming and Presentations. “Starring husband-and-wife duo, Rob McClure and Maggie Lakis, we are honored to present this show to Philadelphia audiences for the very first time as part of our Broadway season, where we bring the best of New York theater to Broad Street.”
Out-of-work actor Daniel Hillard will do anything for his kids. After losing custody in a messy divorce, he creates the kindly alter ego of Scottish nanny Euphegenia Doubtfire in a desperate attempt to stay in their lives. As his new character takes on a life of its own, Mrs. Doubtfire teaches Daniel more than he bargained for about how to be a father. A hysterical and heartfelt story about holding onto your loved ones against all odds, Mrs. Doubtfire is the musical comedy we need right now – one that proves we’re better together.
