Mrs. Doubtfire’ Musical Sets Date For Broadway, Announces Cast

Mrs. Doubtfire has a sure date with Broadway and, as rumored, she’ll be arriving with Beetlejuice‘s Rob McClure in the title role, producers announced this morning.

The musical, directed by Jerry Zaks and based on the 1993 Robin Williams hit movie, will begin previews March 9, 2020, at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre, with an opening night set for Sunday, April 5. (Though its venue will be the Roundabout Theatre Company’s Sondheim, Mrs. Doubtfire is not a Roundabout production).

The previously announced staging, produced by Kevin McCollum – a multiple Tony winner with credits including Avenue Q, Rent and In The Heights) – features a book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell, with music and lyrics by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick.
