Some have called it "musical comedy heaven" and The Hollywood Reporter called it "the most uproarious new musical in years!" TOOTSIE is the laugh-out-loud love letter to the theatre telling the story of Michael Dorsey, a talented but difficult actor who struggles to find work until one show-stopping act of desperation lands him the role of a lifetime. Featuring a hilarious Tony®-winning book and an outrageously clever score TOOTSIE is a joyful delight so packed with punchlines, it should be called a "jokebox" musical!
