‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ Pushes Broadway Return to April 14
Mrs. Doubtfire is pushing its experimental Broadway return by a month. On Friday (Feb. 18), producer Kevin McCollum announced that the musical comedy based on the 1993 film starring Robin Williams would be coming back to the Great White Way a month later than its originally scheduled March 15 curtain up.
