Helloooo, Morgantown!
Everyone’s favorite Scottish nanny is headed to WVU in this internationally acclaimed hit musical critics call “wonderful, heart-warming, and laugh-out-loud funny” ( Manchester Evening News) and “a feel-good, family-friendly comedy that delivers” ( The Hollywood Reporter).

After losing custody in a messy divorce, he creates the kindly alter ego of Scottish nanny Euphegenia Doubtfire in a desperate attempt to stay in their lives. As his new character takes on a life of its own, Mrs. Doubtfire teaches Daniel more than he bargained for about how to be a father.
