Stop the lights.
Everybody loves Mrs Doubtfire.
It’s impossible not to – it’s moving, it’s funny, it’s heartwarming, it’ll make you wish you had a bumbling British nanny who was actually your da hanging around the place.
What a film.
Mrs Doubtfire the movie came out back in 1993 which was, of course, a very long time ago. However, 25 years on and the go ahead has finally been given to turn the iconic comedy into a broadway musical.
And yeah, you know it’ll be good.
The musical will be directed by four-time Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks and be written by Karey and Wayne Kirkpatrick.
And while the cast has yet to be finalised, we’re going to go ahead and assume that this’ll be brilliant anyway.
A statement from Fox Stage Productions reads:
“Mrs Doubtfire is such a beloved story, both laugh-out-loud hilarious and extremely moving.
“Getting this team together and crafting Mrs Doubtfire for the stage has been pure joy. We can’t wait to get into production.”
Sounds class.
