The musical version of the 1993 film will debut next year. Broadway star Rob McClure will take over the role made famous by the late Robin Williams, while Jenn Gambatese will inhabit Sally Field’s part.
Sources say the play will follow the plot of the movie, which is official described as, “When out-of-work actor Daniel Hillard loses custody of his kids in a divorce, he disguises himself as Scottish nanny Euphegenia Doubtfire in a desperate attempt to stay in their lives. As he gets lost in his new persona and grows closer to his kids, Mrs. Doubtfire teaches Daniel more than he bargained for about how to be a father.”
“Mrs. Doubtfire” will start in previews on March 9th, and open on April 5th.
