‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ musical causes stir in San Francisco, is hammered for being 'transphobic'
Fox News
As the “Mrs. Doubtfire" musical returns to San Francisco, critics accuse the storyline of containing “homophobia" and "preconceived biases."
"To see them celebrate a story that ends with a guy in drag getting his own children’s television show, they’re giving it a standing ovation, not realizing they’re cheering against their own preconceived biases… In a weird way, they’re showing their hand, that their issue isn’t drag, it’s homophobia. It’s that if the character isn’t gay, they’re not scared of it," the Tony nominee added. Alba Cuebas-Fantauzzi is a freelance production assistant at Fox News Digital.
The initial premiere of the musical version of this beloved classic in Seattle was met with outrage from its audience, catapulting 457 offended viewers to sign a petition pushing for the removal of the production in 2019. The petition demands "the tired, transphobic tropes in Mrs. Doubtfire should be left in the past."
