Progressives slam ‘problematic’ ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ Play

My Northwest

The Seattle Times and humorless Seattle activists believe the new 5th Avenue Theater production of “Mrs. Doubtfire” is “problematic” because a male character plays a woman. Some want it cancelled. It’s the latest Progressive woke brigade feigning outrage so they can tell you how inclusive they are and how evil you are.

The play is based on the hit Robin Williams movie about a divorced dad, named Daniel Hillard, who dresses as an elderly Scottish nanny in order to spend more time with his three children. It’s a classic comedy.

Though no Seattle Times writer is brave enough to put their name to the initial hot take, the piece declares the play is “problematic” in the headline. They take the position that “a man in a dress doesn’t cut it as a punch line in 2019 — not without serious and necessary conversations.” With that in mind, they connected with “five theater artists — some transgender, some queer” to get their takes before and after they saw the play.

  1. Sure. Close down a production that likely employs a high number of LBGQ people just to win the Woke wars. Makes perfect sense.

    A long time ago, I had season tickets to the 5th Ave. I stopped doing that after 2 shows broke the 4th wall to take shots at George W. Bush.

    (If you want to see an uplifting musical, “ I highly recommend “Come From Away.” 🎶😊

  2. …Trump actually did a better Robin Williams during his rally when he did the “Lisa Page and Peter Strzok love affair discussion of the insurance policy”. I think that Adam Schiff was trying to channel that when he did the fake reading of the call between Donald Trump and the new president of Ukraine. A big fail for Schiff, he is no Donald Trump or Robin Williams. Also Schiff was too stupid to realize that he did this while presiding over a sworn congressional hearing as opposed to a campaign rally! 😆. Schiff is an amateur and he just doesn’t get it.

  3. In a bizarre joint statement the producer and director announced Hunter Biden will play Mrs. Doubtfire in blackface wearing Mammy’s costume from Gone With The Wind.

    If they want something to cry about we’ll give them something to cry about they declared.

  4. Another nail in the coffin if the entertainment industry. How incredibly stupid they are with this constant drumbeat of inclusion and wokeness.

    Brain sickness from perverts, atheists, and America haters from the entertainment industry is not digestible, so I refuse to take a bite.
