Mrs. Doubtfire is Coming to DC’s National Theatre October 10-15

By

If you remember watching the 1993 movie version of Mrs. Doubtfire with Robin Williams, relive the heartwarming story about family as Washington, D.C.’s National Theater kicks off their season with Mrs. Doubtfire from October 10-15.

About Mrs. Doubtfire the Musical 

As parents, there’s not much we wouldn’t do for our children. When struggling, out of work actor, Daniel Hillard, loses custody of his kids in a messy divorce, he becomes Scottish nanny, Eugenia Doubtfire, to stay in their lives. Being his alter ego teaches Daniel more than he bargained for about how to be a father. This hilarious and heartfelt story is about holding on to your loved ones against all odds and proves that we’re better together.

The national tour of Mrs. Doubtfire stars two-time Tony nominee, Rob McClure, alongside co-star, Maggie Lakis, who is his wife in real life.

Use the code NANNY15 to get $15 off seats for as low as $54 for on opening night. This same code can be used to get $15 off tickets for the Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday night evening performances when purchased through this link.

When I looked, I found discounted seats in all sections. To give you an idea of pricing, Orchestra seats were as low as $94 (regularly $159/each) and Balcony seats for $74 (normally $89/each).

If you’re looking to buy 4 tickets to the performance, you can save an additional 25% on seats at most shows. Keep reading for how to apply the ticket discount and take advantage of the Me+3 pricing on 4 tickets to Mrs. Doubtfire.
