Mrs. Doubtfire played its first Broadway performance on March 9, 2020 and following two separate shutdowns during the pandemic, closed at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre on May 29, 2022.
The album will feature the Broadway cast that opened the show on December 5, 2021, including Tony Award nominee Rob McClure as Daniel Hillard, Jenn Gambatese as Miranda Hillard, Peter Bartlett as Mr. Jolly, Charity Angél Dawson as Wanda Sellner, Mark Evans as Stuart Dunmire, J.

Following the recent Broadway run, Mrs. Doubtfire will open in Manchester, UK in September of this year, prior to playing in London's West End. A U.S. national tour is being planned for the 2023 / 2024 season and a production will open in Seoul, Korea in August 2022.
Daniel Hillard, a struggling, out-of-work actor, will do anything for his kids. After losing custody in a 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 and heartfelt story about holding onto your loved ones against all odds, Mrs. Doubtfire proves we're better together.
Presented by special arrangement with Buena Vista Theatrical, Mrs. Doubtfire is based on the Twentieth Century Studios Motion Picture
