Minus Robin Williams, ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ is not quite herself
6 / 10
Audiences that want to indulge Broadway's penchant for recycling hit movie scripts with an insert-song- here sensibility could do a lot worse than 'Mrs. Doubtfire'; Broadway has repeatedly shown that it can - do worse, that is. (See 'Pretty Woman,' 'Ghost,' 'Sister Act,' etc.) The pop score by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick evinces some cleverness, especially in a mock-flamenco number, 'He Lied to Me,' performed in the Spanish restaurant where McClure executes nifty quick changes of Catherine Zuber's smart costumes.
