A new musical comedy about the things we do to stay together.

Based on the beloved film,  MRS. DOUBTFIRE  tells the hysterical and heartfelt story of an out-of-work actor who will do anything for his kids. It’s “the lovable, big-hearted musical comedy we need right now,” raves the Chicago Tribune – one that proves we’re better together.
