Based on the 1993 film, Mrs. Doubtfire follows out-of-work actor Daniel Hillard, who 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. The musical comedy features a book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell and music and lyrics by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick, the Tony-nominated team behind Something Rotten!
The creative team is led by tour director Steve Edlund, whose work is based on the original direction by four-time Tony winner Jerry Zaks. Edlund is joined by tour choreographer Michaeljon Slinger (based on the original choreography by Lorin Latarro); arranger and orchestrator Ethan Popp; music supervisor Matthew Smedal; scenic designer David Korins; costume designer Catherine Zuber; lighting designer Philip S. Rosenberg; sound designer Keith Caggiano; tour hair and wig desiger Victoria Tinsman (based on original hair and wig design by David Brian Brown); makeup designer Craig Forrest-Thomas; and casting director Murnane Casting. The touring production is stage managed by Anna Klevit.
The musical premiered at Seattle's 5th Avenue
Theatre in 2019, subsequently opening on Broadway in 2021.
The second North American tour is produced and general managed by Work Light Productions, and licensed by Music Theatre International.
