Exclusive Interview: Alanis Sophia of ‘Mrs. Doubtfire The Musical’
Some transformations go beyond a costume change, which the opening show of the 313 Presents Broadway season would definitely know about! In Mrs. Doubtfire the Musical, one of comedy’s most unforgettable characters springs to life onstage with wigs, outrageous disguises, plenty of heart, and a whole lot of theatrical chaos. Based on the beloved film, the musical follows Daniel Hillard, a struggling actor and devoted father who will do almost anything to remain close to his children, even if that means becoming their hilariously unconventional nanny, Mrs. Doubtfire. Beneath the laughs and larger-than-life antics, however, is a story about family, love, and the lengths we go to for the people who matter most. A talented ensemble brings that story to the stage, including Alanis Sophia, whose performance adds another memorable voice to this energetic musical world. With its blend of comedy, heartfelt moments, and infectious music, Mrs. Doubtfire proves that sometimes the most unexpected disguises can reveal who we really are. We caught up with Alanis Sophia to talk about what audiences can expect from this touring production!
In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, Alanis Sophia talks about what it’s like to step into a beloved world like Mrs. Doubtfire and how the musical has elevated the story of the Robin Williams-led film. With a singer-songwriter background and having grown up in the music industry, how do those personal experiences impact her role as Lydia Hillard? It isn’t always easy to play a 15-year-old on stage when you’re 25, so how does she find the truth in this character? Check out this fun interview to find out more!
