After returning to Broadway following the theatre shutdown October 21, Mrs. Doubtfire officially opened at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre December 5. The musical began preview performances in March 2020, playing only three shows before halting due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Based on the 1993 film, Mrs. Doubtfire tells the story what happens when an out-of-work actor creates an alter ego of Scottish nanny Euphegenia Doubtfire in a desperate attempt to stay in his children’s lives after losing custody of them in a messy divorce.
