A talent-packed cast has been assembled for a pair of industry readings of the new musical version of Mrs. Doubtfire. Tony nominees Rob McClure (Beetlejuice) and Kate Baldwin (Superhero) will head the cast of the presentations as Daniel and Miranda Hillard, respectively, set to be held in New York City on May 16 and 17.
As previously announced, the musical adaptation of the Golden Globe-winning 1993 comedy flick (which starred Robin Williams and Sally Field) features a book by Tony-nominated Something Rotten! creators John O'Farrell and Karey Kirkpatrick and an original score by Karey and Wayne Kirkpatrick. The readings will be directed by Tony winner Jerry Zaks (Hello, Dolly!) and music-directed by Ethan Popp (Tina: The Tina Turner Musical).
The cast will also include Tony nominee Mario Cantone (Laugh Whore), Mallory Bechtel (Dear Evan Hansen), Charity Angél Dawson (Waitress), Mark Evans (I Married an Angel), Michael James Scott (Aladdin), Jake Ryan Flynn (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Cameron Adams (My Fair Lady), Peter Bartlett (Something Rotten!), Tracee Beazer (Frozen), Catherine Brunell (Something Rotten!), Nick Rashad Burroughs (King Kong), Kaleigh Cronin (Summer: The Donna Summer Musical), David Hibbard (Something Rotten!), Aaron Kaburick (Hello, Dolly!), Avery Sell (Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!), Brian Shepard (My Fair Lady), Pearl Sun (Come From Away), Ryan VanDenBoom (Bandstand) and Aléna Watters (The Cher Show).
Mrs. Doubtfire follows the journey of a struggling actor (McClure) who will go to any length to be with his children after he loses custody in a bitter divorce. He decides to disguise himself as a matronly British woman and takes a job as their nanny, in the home of his ex-wife (Baldwin).
