(Manchester Evening News) and “a feel-good, family-friendly comedy that delivers” (The

messy divorce, he creates the kindly alter ego of Scottish nanny Euphegenia Doubtfire in a 
desperate attempt to stay in their lives. As his new character takes on a life of its own, Mrs. 
Doubtfire teaches Daniel more than he bargained for about how to be a father. A hysterical

DOUBTFIRE is the musical comedy we need right now – one that proves we’re better 
together.

Based on the original direction by four-time Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks, the new musical 
comedy features a book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell and music and lyrics 
by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick, the Tony Award-nominated team 
behind Something Rotten!

Designer David Korins; Costume Designer Catherine Zuber; Lighting Designer, Philip S.
