Daniel Hillard / Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire: Norbert Leo Butz

Stuart 'Stu' Dunmeyer: Hugh Jackman

Natalie 'Nattie' Hillard: Kristin Chenoweth

Could Harvey Fierstein reprise his role as Frank?

Casting Kristin Chenoweth as Norbert's five year old daughter is inspired!

[DMsquared2]

I immediately thought of Norbert Leo Butz for the lead!

Is Georgi James too old for Nattie?

No role for Ms. Lupone???

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?

Daniel Hillard / Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire: Brian d'Arcy James (He did well under makeup last time too!) OR John Tracy Egan

Miranda Hillard: [Possibly] Megan Mullally

Stuart 'Stu' Dunmeyer: Hugh Jackman OR Raul Esparza

Lydia 'Lydie' Hillard: Allie Trimm

Christopher 'Chris' Hillard: Henry Hodges

Natalie 'Nattie' Hillard: Grab one or two of the Poppins kiddies, and you're golden.

What kind of name is Euphegenia?

[Mattbrain]

Posted: 12/26/10 at 4:57pm

Kirbycat, there's also some little ones in Billy Elliot.

Mrs Doubtfire has Chris Sieber's name all over her.

Playing the lead in a musical version of MRS. DOUBTFIRE has been a dream of mine for YEARS!!!

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.

SJB as Miranda Hillard! They can just write "Get Out And Stay Out" into the show, right as she kicks him out of the house

Mrs Doubtfire has Chris Sieber's name all over her.

Maybe if she loses some weight! Girlfriend is HUGE!

This is funny. I thought Nathan Lane should be Mrs. Doubtfire.

Barbara Walsh would make a pretty good Miranda.

Daniel Hillard / Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire: JOHN TRACY EGAN
Miranda Hillard: Beth Leavel

I can't really think of anybody else.

Who would you want to write the music?

[SeanMartin]

Posted: 12/27/10 at 7:59pm

^^ 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.

Daniel / Mrs. Doubtfire: John Lithgow

Miranda: Jean Smart

Stewart: Raul Esparza

Uncle Frank: Harvey Fierstein (duh)

Chris Seiber was the first person to come to my mind to play Mrs. Doubtfire.

"I. AM. JOB." will be the show-stopping number!

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.

I could see this working with the Production team that brought us Hairspray!.
