For some reason Norbert comes off as too "cool" for Mrs. Doubtfire. I'd give it to Christopher Fitzgerald. Katie finneran for Miranda? They're both a little young but I think it could work. I'd also beef up the roles of the social worker and the uncle and cast Faith Prince and Danny Burstein. Tho I like the idea of bringing Harvey back. Maybe Patrick Wilson as Stu?
Kirbycat, there's also some little ones in Billy Elliot.

There is only one Mrs. Doubtfire and that is the amazing internationally gifted and talented Robin Williams. Anybody else would not do the character justice! The musical would never work.
Linda, I have to respectfully disagree. I'm not big on the mania of taking popular films and musicalizing them (GHOST? Puh-leeze!), but I could see this one working really well. It has several moments that would lend themselves nicely to the musical theatre convention and would, in the right hands, actually enhance the original material. I'd say go for it if anyone wanted to actually make a go of it.
Mrs Doubtfire has Chris Sieber's name all over her.
Maybe if she loses some weight! Girlfriend is HUGE!
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

^^ This is going to reek with irony after my withering comments about Bono and SPIDERMAN, but I'd ask Sting to write it. Based on his past four albums, I think he'd turn in a fascinating score, with just the tinge of "Britishness" that Mrs. Doubtfire exudes.
I'd love to see Larry O'Keefe write the score to this, mostly because I love his prior work and he does very well with pop, which seems like it would suit this show well.
