APR 30 - MAY 5, 2024 Belk Theater at Blumenthal Arts Center

APR 30 - MAY 5, 2024 Belk Theater at Blumenthal Arts Center

“Humor and gut wrenching authenticity are alive and well in this show.” – Buffalo Theatre Guide “Full of jokes and fun and is perfect for the entire family” – The Patch “McClure’s comedic timing, vocal impressions, and physical acrobatics were all spectacular from start to finish.” – DC Theater Arts “Without a doubt, “Mrs. Doubtfire” is one of the most entertaining musical comedies you’ll ever see.” – Independent Rhode Island Everyone’s favorite Scottish nanny is headed to Charlotte! Rob McClure will reprise his Tony-nominated Broadway performance on tour alongside co-star (and real wife!) Maggie Lakis in this internationally-acclaimed hit musical critics call “wonderful, heart-warming, and laugh-out-loud funny” (Manchester Evening News) and “a feel-good, family-friendly comedy that delivers” (The Hollywood Reporter). Based on the beloved film and directed by four-time Tony Award® winner Jerry Zaks, MRS. DOUBTFIRE tells the hysterical and heartfelt story of an out-of-work actor who will do anything for his kids. It’s “the lovable, big-hearted musical comedy we need right now,” raves the Chicago Tribune – one that proves we’re better together. Click to learn more.
