The delightfully charming Mrs. Doubtfire is in Chicago for a limited engagement for audiences to enjoy this musical comedy smash hit. Described as a “feel-good, family-friendly” comedy, four-time Tony Award winner Mrs. Doubtfire tells the hysterical and heartfelt story of an out-of-work actor who will do anything for his kid. “I know the movie is so iconic and loved, that being a part of the musical production of Mrs. Doubtfire feels so special because I know this is something that is part of everyone’s childhood,” said Giselle Gutierrez, who plays Lydia Hillard. Singer/songwriter Gutierrez, originally from Plant City, Florida, always displayed a passion for the arts. “It was just something I always wanted to do. I was always singing and dancing that pursuing a career in the arts just felt natural to me,” said Gutierrez, who is currently a sophomore BFA Musical Theatre major at the University of Central Florida. Mrs. Doubtfire marks Gutierrez’s musical debut and urges everyone to follow their dreams. “This career path is not easy. It takes a lot of work, but if you dedicate time to your craft, if you work at it every day and learn all you can, and give it your all, you can accomplish anything,” said Gutierrez. Mrs. Doubtfire is currently playing at Broadway in Chicago’s James M. Nederlander Theatre, 24 W. Randolph St., through Sunday, March 10th. “I hope as many people in Chicago can come see this play because it truly delivers a heartwarming story about family and acceptance,” said Gutierrez. Individual tickets for Mrs. Doubtfire are on sale and range from $30.00 – $140.00 with a select number of premium tickets available.
