The laugh-out-loud funniest musical of the Broadway season. Yes it's another tune-filled spin on a hit movie...but this one is actually good

After wowing critics and audiences on Broadway, the eleven-time Tony-nominated Tootsie is heading out on its first national tour! Adapted from the 1980's film, Tootsie features original music by Tony Award winner David Yazbeck (The Band's Visit) and a book by Tony nominee Robert Horn. This brand new musical comedy follows one failing actor whose terrible behavior sees him take on a larger than life new personality to start a fresh...
A financial and critical success when it opened back in '82, the movie went on to receive ten Academy-Award nominations, with the top acting prize heading to Jessica Lange. Described in turns as 'Not your grandmother's Tootsie' (Director Scott Ellis) and a 'Bouncy musical (that) turns the story into a full-on satire of the narcissistic male ego' (Variety), it looks as if Tootsie is ready to take on the 21st Century with aplomb.
When obsessive perfectionist Michael is fired from a Broadway gig due to his proclivities, he decides that change is necessary - even if it means his gender. Taking to drag to pass himself off as the glamorous 'Dorothy', he soon lands a new job. But watch out Broadway, makeup and clothes are no match for this ego!
Opening night: 31 May 2022
