Broadway’s Mrs. Doubtfire will take an extended hiatus from January 10-March 14, with performances scheduled to resume March 15. Producers hope the hiatus will allow the show to avoid a full closure as the company battles breakthrough cases of COVID-19.

The hiatus follows a much more brief break last month, though the musical had resumed performances December 22. The production will continue to play as scheduled through January 9.

“Mrs. Doubtfire has been in development for six years,” says producer Kevin McCollum. “We are doing everything in our power to keep the virus from prematurely ending our run on Broadway. By taking this break we can afford to launch an extended run starting in March.

“Finally, I would like to express my profound and unending admiration for our extraordinary cast, crew, orchestra, creative team, and entire company. They have risen to every challenge thrown at them over the last two years with a remarkable amount of resilience, good humor, grit, and love for one another. They embody the indomitable spirit of Broadway.”

Ticket holders for performances March 15 or later will keep their seating locations. Those with tickets for canceled performances can exchange for a later date or get a refund from their point of purchase.

Tony nominee Rob McClure stars as divorced dad Daniel Hillard and his alter ego, the Scottish nanny Mrs. Doubtfire, in the musical based on the 1993 film. Read reviews for the production here.
