In Nashville Premieres:
Mrs. Doubtfire Coming to TPAC!
Fans of classic movies have another musical reason to go to TPAC this season; Mrs. Doubtfire is now a Broadway musical! This is an internationally acclaimed hit musical critics call “wonderful, heart-warming, and laugh-out-loud funny” (Manchester Evening News) and “a feel-good, family-friendly comedy that delivers” (The Hollywood Reporter). Based on the beloved film and directed by four-time Tony Award® winner Jerry Zaks, MRS. DOUBTFIRE tells the hysterical and heartfelt story of an out-of-work actor who will do anything for his kids. It’s “the lovable, big-hearted musical comedy we need right now,” raves the Chicago Tribune – one that proves we’re better together.
The North American Tour has Rob McClure reprise his Tony-nominated Broadway performance on tour alongside co-star (and real wife) Maggie Lakis. Premiering December 2019, the Broadway production of “Mrs. Doubtfire” was repeatedly stopped and started due to COVID-19, and played its final performance at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre on May 29, 2022. The performances at TPAC will be one of the tour’s two visits to Tennessee, returning to the state in March to perform in Memphis.
Besides the regular shows, TPAC is also hosting an “Arts Appetizer” on October 8th, a pre-show discussion with Nashvillian Wayne Kirkpatrick, co-writer of the music for Mrs. Doubtfire, and cast members from the touring Broadway production. The audience can learn about the process of adapting the show from a movie to a musical while enjoying box dinners from The Nashville Food Project.
Performances are November 7-12 at TPAC’s Andrew Jackson Hall. For tickets and more information: Mrs. Doubtfire | Broadway Shows in Nashville at TPAC
