Rob McClure and Maggie Lakis play the lead roles in the musical that plays the Pantages Theatre in LA from June 11-30, with McClure returning for shows at Segerstrom Hall in OC from Sept. 24 to Oct…
McClure played the role of Mrs. Doubtfire, and the character’s alter ego Daniel Hillard, in workshops as the fledgling musical was taken apart and put back together. He uprooted his life in Philadelphia with actress wife Maggie Lakis and their infant daughter for a month of out-of-town tryouts in Seattle.
Maggie Lakis as Miranda Hillard and Rob McClure as Daniel Hillard in the national touring production of the Broadway musical “Mrs. Doubtfire.” Lakis and McClure are married in real life. McClure was nominated for a Tony Award for his work in the musical, but with only 126 performances between previews and regular shows, he couldn’t shake the feeling that he and “Mrs. Doubtfire” had some unfinished business

These amazing opportunities to see the country.The car has a little fold-down TV screen, so we’ll tell her how long the drive is by how many movies she’ll get to watch that day.We sort of withhold screens from her during the week, so on the travel day it’s like, ‘We have a four-movie drive tomorrow.
