“Mrs. Doubtfire is one of the most beloved stories about putting family above all else in both challenging times and good times. North America has truly embraced our show which encourages leading with love,” says producer Kevin McCollum in a statement. “Being able to share the power of laughter and love with audiences each night brings the company such joy.
