The journey of "Mrs. Doubtfire" from a beloved 1993 film to a celebrated stage musical is a testament to its enduring appeal and the creative vision of its adaptors. The original movie, starring Robin Williams as Daniel Hillard—a devoted father who, after a turbulent divorce, disguises himself as the Scottish nanny Euphegenia Doubtfire to remain close to his children—captivated audiences with its blend of humor and heart. Recognizing the story's potential for the stage, producer Kevin McCollum initiated the development of a musical adaptation. The creative team comprised John O'Farrell and Karey Kirkpatrick, who co-wrote the book, with music and lyrics by Karey and his brother Wayne Kirkpatrick. Esteemed director Jerry Zaks was brought on board to helm the production, infusing it with his extensive theatrical expertise. The musical made its world premiere at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre on December 13, 2019, where it was met with enthusiasm, setting the stage for its Broadway aspirations.
Transitioning to Broadway, "Mrs. Doubtfire" began previews at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre on March 9, 2020. However, the unforeseen COVID-19 pandemic led to a suspension of all Broadway activities just three days later. Undeterred, the production resumed previews on October 21, 2021, officially opening on December 5, 2021. The cast featured Rob McClure in the titular role, whose performance garnered critical acclaim and a Tony Award nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical. Jenn Gambatese portrayed Miranda Hillard, with Brad Oscar as Frank Hillard and Analise Scarpaci as Lydia Hillard. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the production showcased resilience, though it eventually concluded its Broadway run on May 29, 2022, after 43 previews and 83 regular performances. The show's excellence was recognized with a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Wig and Hair Design, attributed to David Brian Brown.
In 2025, "Mrs. Doubtfire" continues to enchant audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. The West End production, which commenced at London's Shaftesbury Theatre on May 12, 2023, has extended its run due to popular demand and is now booking until April 26, 2025. This extension reflects the show's widespread acclaim and the strong connection it has forged with audiences. In the United States, the national tour, which began in September 2023, remains active, bringing the heartwarming tale to various cities across the country. Notably, the tour features Rob McClure reprising his role as Daniel Hillard, alongside his real-life wife, Maggie Lakis, as Miranda Hillard, offering a unique and authentic dynamic to the production. As "Mrs. Doubtfire" continues to evolve, its themes of family, love, and resilience resonate with new generations, solidifying its place in theatrical history.
