Based on the 1993 film starring Robin Williams, Mrs. Doubtfire tells the story of an out-of-work actor who masquerades as a British nanny in order to spend more time with his children, beyond the terms of his custody agreement. The show had a brief preview period in March 2020 before the pandemic shutdown.

Producer Kevin McCollum commented, "We had three performances when the shutdown came and everyone has been chomping at the bit to bring this hilarious and touching new show back to Broadway."

Helmed by four-time Tony-winning director Jerry Zaks (Hello, Dolly!), 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!

The creative team is rounded out by choreographer Lorin Latarro; music supervisor, arranger, and orchestrator Ethan Popp; scenic designer David Korins; costume designer Catherine Zuber; lighting designer Philip S. Rosenberg; sound designer Brian Ronan; hair and wig designer David Brian Brown; and make-up designer Tommy Kurzman.
