Show Details & Reviews
Four-time Tony winner Jerry Zaks will direct the theater version of Mrs. Doubtfire. Karey Kirkpatrick partnered with John O’Farrell to write the book, and Kirkpatrick and Wayne Kirkpatrick, who together were nominated for a Tony Award for their work on Something Rotten!, are pairing for music and lyrics.
The show is playing in Seattle through December 29, and while critics seems to love the idea of Mrs. Doubtfire on stage, it appears the show needs to be revamped before hitting Broadway.
“If the “Mrs. Doubtfire” musical now premiering at Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theatre strikes gold is another matter — and has little to do with the cross-dressing gambit it shares with “Tootsie.” More pertinent is whether the creators can streamline their top-heavy, overly reverent adaptation of a dated film, in order to make it less cloying and more consistently funny,” writes Misha Berson in Variety.
Seattle Times reviewer Dusty Somers praised Zaks, choreographer Lorin Latarro and the slick scenic design, but also notes flaws: The “score by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick that doesn’t have much of an identity. Bland pop-rock scene-setters (“That’s Daniel,” “Real Man”) and maudlin ballads (“I Want to Be There,” “As Long as There is Love”) proliferate.”
