Mrs. Doubtfire
Orpheum Theatre

Helloooo Poppets! Everyone's favorite 90s nanny is back in her very own musical.

This glorious production captures the film's original fun and chaos - with added theatrical pizazz.
Girl From The North Country
Golden Gate Theatre
July 30 - August 27
Billed as a 'play with songs' rather than a musical, Connor McPherson's meditative hit winds the songs of Bob Dylan around the comings and goings of a Depression Era guest house. Somber and yet full of hope, this is Dylan as you've never heard him. We called it: "an utterly gorgeous and heartrending experience at the theatre."
