Poppet, listen up! Everyone’s favorite Scottish nanny is packing her bags and heading to the Lowcountry! Mrs. Doubtfire: The New Musical Comedy is officially coming to the North Charleston Performing Arts Center for a limited eight-show engagement from October 6 through October 11, 2026.

If you’re looking for a night of big belly laughs, incredible quick-changes, and feel-good heart, this hit broadway touring production is an absolute must-see!

Based on the beloved 1993 hit film starring Robin Williams, the musical brings vibrant new life to the story of Daniel Hillard—a struggling actor who will do anything, including disguising himself as an eccentric Scottish nanny, to stay connected with his kids.

What the Critics Are Saying

National reviews for the touring production have praised the show for its high-octane comedy, family warmth, and dazzling stagecraft:

  • “Enormously enjoyable night at the theatre: funny, fast-moving, beautifully performed, and technically dazzling.”— BroadwayWorld
  • “A complete joy... like its zany hero, the evening works overtime to inveigle its way into your affections.”— The Telegraph
  • “Guaranteed to get everyone smiling... a show full of heart, big belly laughs, and will leave you unexpectedly reaching for the tissues.”— Theatre and Tonic

Why You Shouldn't Miss It

Beyond the iconic nostalgia and classic one-liners from the film, the musical adaptation elevates the excitement with explosive dance numbers, clever modernization, and a dynamic score. The real showstopper lies in the mind-boggling quick-changes—watching the lead actor frantically switch between struggling dad and lovable nanny live on stage is pure theatrical magic!

Whether you’re planning a fun date night, an outing with friends, or a memorable evening with the whole family, this show delivers the warm-and-fuzzy happiness we could all use a little more of right now.

Celebrating two decades of defining hits, country duo Sugarland brought their Ride or Die Tour to the North Charleston Coliseum for a night of stadium-level spectacle and deep Lowcountry heart. Following an opening performance from rising star Payton Sullivan, Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush delivered a masterclass in live entertainment—complete with a towering carnival-themed stage rig, acoustic mid-arena surprises, and special local guest appearances.

Opening an arena show for country music royalty is a daunting task for any rising artist, but Payton Sullivan handled her North Charleston Coliseum debut like a seasoned pro. Bringing a rare mix of authentic Lowcountry charm and vocal powerhouse energy, the rising singer-songwriter captivated the early crowd, turning a massive arena into an intimate performance space. From clever crowd-work to an unforgettable Dolly Parton cover, Sullivan proved she is a force to be reckoned with.

For Charleston native Skyler Waddell, fronting The Stono River Project isn’t just about making music—it’s about honouring the Lowcountry roots and tight-knit local scene that raised him. Today marks an exciting milestone with the release of the band’s new single, “I’m Yours and You’re Mine,” out now on Stone Point Records—the label founded by Mark Bryan. Ahead of his single release party at Awendaw Green’s Barn Jam tonight, Waddell sat down with Charleston Live Music’s Samantha Meier to talk about studio collaboration with Bryan, finding grounding in his own lyrics, and how local staples from the Charleston Pour House to Chico Feo continue to shape his sound.
