MRS. DOUBTFIRE THE MUSICAL (musical comedy) adapted from the 1993 movie, with music and lyrics by Wayne and Karey Kirkpatrick, and a book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell, directed by Jerry Zaks. National touring company at the Benedum. November 28 – December 3.

When down-on-his-luck actor Daniel Hillard loses custody of his three children in divorce, he schemes a way to stay in their lives by becoming the family’s nanny, the inimitable Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire. The Twentieth Century Studios film that helped immortalize the late Robin Williams is also a musical, and its Broadway stars, Rob McClure (two-time Tony nominee) and real-life wife Maggie Lakis (Avenue Q), are on the road to Pittsburgh. With more than 17 numbers performed by a cast of 25, Mrs. Doubtfire The Musical proves that most fathers will do anything for their kids, even if it means cleaning the house and scrubbing the toilets. “Let Go” and “What the Hell” are perhaps the best songs of the show; titled together they are apt advice to buy your tickets now before it’s too late. PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh series at Benedum Center. 7:30 p.m. 237 7th St., Cultural District. (C.P.O.)
