Mrs Doubtfire on Broadway Review
6 / 10
An observation Sondheim made about the history of musical theater comes to mind here: 'After the Rodgers and Hammerstein revolution, songs became part of the story, as opposed to just entertainments in between comedy scenes.' Yes, there is a story in 'Mrs. Doubtfire' (the same one as the movie), but Princess Diana is not part of it (her musical is five blocks away.) There are too many ornamental moments like 'Make Me A Woman,' when 'Mrs. Doubtfire' seems to be bringing us back some 90 years to pre-revolutionary Broadway when musical numbers did not advance the plot but served primarily as entertainments between comedy scenes.
