Spotlight: TOOTSIE at Maine State Music Theatre
Heels On, Laughs Up! Tootsie Hits the MSMT Stage
Tootsie is a hilarious and heartwarming musical comedy about actor Michael Dorsey, who disguises himself as a woman, Dorothy Michaels, to land a role in a Broadway show. Based on the iconic Dustin Hoffman film of the same name, Tootsie explores themes of identity, gender roles, and the challenges of navigating personal and professional life.
With a witty book by Robert Horn and a lively score by David Yazbek, the show delivers laughter and insight. As Michael’s new persona takes on a life of her own, he learns valuable lessons about honesty, love, and self-acceptance. Tootsie is a clever and entertaining production that resonates with audiences through its sharp humor and relatable themes.
