Helloooooo, Southampton! Euphegenia Doubtfire here to answer all your burning questions about Mrs. Doubtfire, the hit musical coming to Mayflower Theatre in February.
That’s right, poppets – I sing, I dance and I make a vacuum cleaner move like Fred Astaire. For you youngsters who might not get that reference, a vacuum cleaner is something you use to clean the carpets, dears. I’m so thrilled to bring my story to the stage and share it with audiences across Southampton. So, fire up those neurons and hit me with your toughest questions – just no hitting below the girdle!
Mrs. Doubtfire, we are so excited to hear that your story is coming to the stage in musical form! What can audiences expect from the show?
They can expect a real treat, poppet! And the good news is – you can bring the whole family! With the Mrs. Doubtfire musical, audiences can expect a heart-warming and hilarious story about love, family and the lengths a parent will go to for their children. And it’s suitable for all ages, even old grannies like me!
How do you think the show will help brighten audiences’ days?
Oh, I do believe that laughter is the best medicine, dear – but do be warned that reactions to the Mrs. Doubtfire musical may include chortling, guffawing, watering of the eyes and uncontrollable shaking of the shoulders. Symptoms may persist long after viewing. But heaven knows, we could all use a good laugh! Plus, there’s a tug on the old heart-strings from time to time. Oh, and run-by-fruitings. Let’s not forget the importance of those!
What do you hope audiences will take away from the show after seeing it?
Well, they will be selling T-shirts and fridge magnets, dear, so I hope they leave with… Oh wait, I see what you mean. Well, the Mrs. Doubtfire musical celebrates keeping families together against all the difficulties that life throws at you. And that’s not all I’ve had thrown at me, dear. Ever dodged a tomato? It takes skill, I tell you. But I hope audiences will leave feeling even more uplifted than my latex falsies.
Mrs. Doubtfire, what are you most looking forward to about the UK tour of the show?
Oh, I’m so excited to take my story on the open road, poppets! I’ve read all about those crazy rock-n-roll tours, and I’m really looking forward to cutting loose; staying up past 9pm, a glass of sherry, then binge watching Antiques Road Show. I may even leave the duvet ruffled! But in all seriousness, dears, I’m looking forward to hearing the laughter from all you lovely audiences as you see how we’ve transformed this beloved story for the stage. It has everything you’d want in a musical; catchy tunes, dazzling dance and loads of laughs. It’s a show that leaves a smile on every face – and a big cream pie on mine!
Help is on the way, dears!
