About Mrs. Doubtfire the Musical

Mrs. Doubtfire opened on Broadway at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre in December 2021, bringing the beloved story made famous by the late Robin Williams to the musical stage. The show features music and lyrics by brothers Karey and Wayne Kirkpatrick — the songwriting team behind the Tony-winning musical Something Rotten! — with a book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O'Farrell. The production is directed by four-time Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks, known for his work on Guys and Dolls, Hello Dolly!, and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.

The musical tells the story of Daniel Hillard, a devoted father who, after losing custody of his children in a divorce, creates the persona of Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire — a proper Scottish nanny — to remain close to his kids. What follows is a hilarious and heartwarming journey of disguises, family dynamics, and the lengths a parent will go to for the ones they love. The show features spectacular quick-change artistry as the lead actor transforms between Daniel and Mrs. Doubtfire in the blink of an eye, along with a score full of catchy, clever musical numbers.

The second North American national tour launched in September 2025 and has been touring cities across the country. The touring cast is led by Craig Allen Smith as Daniel Hillard/Mrs. Doubtfire, alongside Melissa Campbell as Miranda Hillard, Alanis Sophia as Lydia, Collin Salvatorè as Stuart Dunmire, and Kennedy V. Jackson as Wanda Sellner. The production brings the same theatrical magic that made the Broadway run a crowd favorite, including the jaw-dropping costume transformations designed by Catherine Zuber.

The schedule features evening shows at 7:30 PM on Tuesday through Friday, with matinee and evening performances on both Saturday February 20 and Sunday February 21.
