Broadway musical comedy based on the beloved film, about an out-of-work actor who creates an alter ego to stay in his children's lives.
Mrs. Doubtfire is playing the Majestic Theatre from Tuesday, September 15, through Sunday, September 20, 2026. It's the Broadway musical based on the movie, and it's coming to San Antonio for a short run at 224 E. Houston Street.
If you know the story, you've got the gist: an out-of-work actor loses custody of his kids in a messy divorce and decides to transform himself into Euphegenia Doubtfire, a Scottish nanny, just to stay close to them. That's the core of it, and the show builds around that one desperate, funny idea. Craig Allen Smith takes on the role of Euphegenia Doubtfire, which means he's the one pulling double duty as both the father and the nanny throughout the run.
It's an internationally acclaimed hit, and the reviews it's picked up along the way give you a sense of what to expect. The Manchester Evening News called it "wonderful, heart-warming, and laugh-out-loud funny," while The Hollywood Reporter described it as "a feel-good, family-friendly comedy that delivers." The Chicago Tribune went a bit further, calling it "the lovable, big-hearted musical comedy we need right now."

Practical stuff: the show runs 2 hours and 30 minutes with one intermission, so it's a full evening. It's recommended for ages 8 and over, which makes it an easy one to bring the kids to if they're old enough. With the run starting Tuesday, September 15, and wrapping up Sunday, September 20, you've got a week to fit it in.
