John Nguyen — Theater Critic

Like the film, the musical follows Daniel as a recently divorced actor who becomes Mrs. Doubtfire to spend more time with his children. And just like the film, Daniel references pop culture and makes many impressions with a more modern take. So instead of impressions of Jack Nicholson and Sean Connery’s James Bond in the film, the musical would reference social media, memes, The Lord of the Rings, and many more. If you have ever watched the Aladdin musical at Disney’s California Adventure or even the Broadway version, it’s like seeing Genie poking fun at pop culture.
