Mrs. Doubtfire
7:30pm @
Emens Auditorium, Ball State University
1800 W Riverside Ave
Cost: Tickets start at $39 Everyoneโs favorite Scottish nanny is headed to Muncie in this internationally acclaimed hit musical critics call โwonderful, heart-warming, and laugh-out-loud funnyโ (Manchester Evening News) and โa feel-good, family-friendly comedy that deliversโ (The Hollywood Reporter). Based on the beloved film, MRS. DOUBTFIRE tells the hysterical and heartfelt story of an out-of-work actor who will do anything for his kids. Itโs โthe lovable, big-hearted musical comedy we need right now,โ raves the Chicago Tribune โ one that proves weโre better together.
Out-of-work actor Daniel Hillard will do anything for his kids. After losing custody in a messy divorce, he creates the kindly alter ego of Scottish nanny Euphegenia Doubtfire in a desperate attempt to stay in their lives. As his new character takes on a life of its own, Mrs. Doubtfire teaches Daniel more than he bargained for about how to be a father. A hysterical and heartfelt story about holding onto your loved ones against all odds, Mrs. Doubtfire is the musical comedy we need right now โ one that proves weโre better together.
