The Broadway musical comedy plays a limited engagement in South Dakota.
The Washington Pavilion will present the national tour of Mrs. Doubtfire in Sioux Falls for a limited run. Based on the hit film, the musical comedy follows a devoted father who reinvents himself as a nanny to stay close to his children. Performances run January 30 through February 1, with tickets available now.
Arriving direct from Broadway, Mrs. Doubtfire brings the beloved story of Daniel Hillard to the stage. After losing custody of his children following a difficult divorce, Daniel disguises himself as Scottish nanny Euphegenia Doubtfire in a bid to remain part of their lives. As the alter ego takes on a life of its own, Daniel discovers unexpected lessons about parenting, love, and responsibility.

The enthusiasm surrounding this production has been exciting to see.”
