Alan Menken Says a ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ Musical Is in the Works

The rumored Mrs. Doubtfire sequel might not be moving forward, but now it looks like the 1993 film is getting the stage musical treatment. Entertainment Weekly confirmed with Alan Menken – who wrote music for Disney classics like The Little Mermaid and Aladdin – that he’s composing music for an upcoming Doubtfire musical, David Zippel (Hercules) is writing the lyrics, and Harvey Fierstein is writing the book. “It’s going very well, it’s in its early stages, and that’s probably all I can say,” Menken told EW. “We’re really enjoying working on it.”
