After losing custody of his three children in a divorce, out-of-work actor Daniel Hillard disguises himself as a prim Scottish nanny named Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire and gets hired by his ex-wife Miranda to care for the kids. As Mrs. Doubtfire, Daniel finally learns to be the responsible parent he never was, but keeping up the charade grows increasingly complicated when Miranda starts dating a new man and Daniel's double life threatens to unravel spectacularly.

Mrs. Doubtfire is a musical based on the 1993 film Mrs. Doubtfire, which in turn is based on the 1987 novel Madame Doubtfire by Anne Fine, with music and lyrics by Karey and Wayne Kirkpatrick and a book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O'Farrell. As with the film, the musical is set in the city of San Francisco, California. However, the timeframe has been updated to the 21st century. The stage musical has references to both technology and pop culture that did not exist in 1993 when the film was released.
