Tootsie is a musical comedy based on the 1982 American film of the same name with music and lyrics by David Yazbek and a book by Robert Horn. Michael Dorsey is a skilled actor with a talent for not keeping a job. His volatile, stubborn nature gives him a reputation for being a difficult actor and a director’s worst nightmare. After a string of failed auditions, Michael has a bright idea and decides to make one last-ditch effort at achieving theatrical success.
Dressed in drag, he attends his next audition as actress Dorothy Michaels. Sure enough, Dorothy is cast as the lead in the new, Broadway-bound musical, Juliet’s Nurse, and Michael/Dorothy experiences a meteoric rise to stardom. Can Michael sustain his greatest acting challenge or will he reveal the truth and be true to himself?
Rated R for strong language and adult themes.
