From Academy Award winner Robin Williams to Tony Award nominee Rob McClure, the “hip, old granny” who sauntered right into our hearts is BACK. And she’s got a whole lot of love to let loose on you, dear poppets! This year, Mrs. Doubtfire – The Musical’s first-ever tour, which began during the last fall season, continues its journey through thirty North American cities, with a penultimate half-month run at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre from June 11 to 30.

How far would a father and husband go for the sake of his family? Daniel Hillard’s answers might shock you! After a messy divorce that lost him custody of his kids, our unlikely man of the hour puts his struggling actor chops to good use and dons a kindly Scottish alter ego in an effort to stay in their lives. He is now Euphegenia Doubtfire, housekeeper extraordinaire, and she specializes in the education and entertainment of children!

This widely beloved musical takes the original story’s heart and adds a splash of live vibrance and music, turning a classic comedy into an irresistibly charming theater spectacle. And as it turns out, sometimes fatherhood begins with white hot flashes, a hand-knit cardigan, and a dastardly run-by fruiting.

America’s most hilariously cantankerous housekeeper first made the world laugh and laugh and laugh as a 1993 comedy-drama based on Anne Fine’s 1987 novel Madame Doubtfire. Directed by box-office magnate Chris Columbus, the film featured the late Robin Williams in the titular role. It received numerous honors from the Academy, Golden Globe, and People’s Choice Awards and notched a place in the AFI’s 100 best comedy films of all time.

Mrs. Doubtfire then shuffled her way to the 5th Avenue Theatre of Seattle, Washington, at the tail-end of 2019, where it was met with exceptionally popular demand from fans and critics alike. Originally slated for a Broadway premiere in April of 2020, the musical was halted temporarily by the COVID-19 pandemic, officially opening at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre in December of the following year. The engagement generated much noise during the 2022 award season, notching one nomination from the Tony Awards, six from the Outer Critics Circle, and a win for Outstanding Wig and Hair Design from the Drama Desk.

“A crowd-pleaser from beginning to end.” – The News Herald

The success of the US productions would later spawn a month-long fall excursion in the UK’s Manchester Opera House, as well as a still-ongoing West End run at the Shaftesbury Theatre — both of which earned unanimous acclaim.
