Detroit — Broadway In Detroit announced today that single tickets for the upcoming engagement of MRS. DOUBTFIRE at the Fisher Theatre will go on sale Friday, August 18 at 10:00 a.m. MRS. DOUBTFIRE will be at the Fisher Theatre November 14 – 26 as part of Broadway In Detroit’s 2023-24 Subscription Season.

Everyone’s favorite Scottish nanny is headed to Detroit in an internationally acclaimed new 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 is the fourth show in Broadway In Detroit’s 2023-24 Subscription Season which also includes FUNNY GIRL, COMPANY, Disney’s Frozen, Wicked, and To Kill a Mockingbird. Full Series Subscriptions, which start at $249 and include a ticket to all six shows, are still available at www.broadwayindetroit.com/season
MRS. DOUBTFIRE will star beloved Broadway leading man, Rob McClure, who drew critical raves, standing ovations, and a Tony Award nomination when he created Euphegenia Doubtfire (everybody’s favorite Scottish nanny). Joining him will be another Broadway favorite, renowned actress and his real-life wife, Maggie Lakis as Miranda Hillard.
Out-of-work actor Daniel Hillard will do anything for his kids. After losing custody in a messy divorce, he creates the kindly alter ego of Scottish nanny Euphegenia Doubtfire in a desperate attempt to stay in their lives. As his new character takes on a life of its own, Mrs. Doubtfire teaches Daniel more than he bargained for about how to be a father. A hysterical and heartfelt story about holding onto your loved ones against all odds, MRS. DOUBTFIRE is the musical comedy we need right now – one that proves we’re better together.
MRS. DOUBTFIRE premiered at Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theatre in December 2019. Extended by popular demand, the Seattle engagement shattered the record for a new musical in the history of the 5th Avenue Theatre, selling more than $4.7M in tickets and playing to more than 75,000 people in just 42 performances.
When MRS. DOUBTFIRE first officially opened on Broadway on December 5, 2021, the Chicago Tribune said, “This lovable, big-hearted musical comedy delivers a good time for all ages. The best choice for families on Broadway” and The Telegraph proclaimed “Rip-roaringly funny. A heartfelt adaptation to make Robin Williams proud.”
