Get ready for big laughs, bigger feels, and a whole lot of Broadway razzmatazz! Tootsie is the laugh-out-loud, high-energy musical comedy that proves sometimes you have to think fast—and dress faster—to make your dreams come true.
Based on the legendary Dustin Hoffman film, Tootsie follows Michael Dorsey, a talented but difficult actor who reinvents himself as the unstoppable Dorothy Michaels to land a starring role. What starts as a desperate move turns into a hilarious whirlwind of fame, chaos, and unexpected lessons about honesty, love, and identity.
With a witty book by Robert Horn (Shucked, Dame Edna: Back with a Vengeance) and a lively, Tony Award-winning score by David Yazbek (Dead Outlaw, The Full Monty, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels), Tootsie delivers non-stop laughs, sharp social commentary, and an unforgettable night at the theatre.
