About Tootsie Tickets

Based on the 1982 comedy film with of the same name, Tootsie is the brainchild of musician and lyricist David Yazbek, with the book written by Robert Horn. A wild and endearing comedy that has audiences laughing right from the start, Tootsie has been updated to reflect modern times. One of the biggest changes is the role of its lead character. Tootsie puts Michael Dorsey on the Broadway stage rather than in a soap opera like the original. According to director Scott Ellis, this is “not your grandfather’s Tootsie,” so fans of the movie should be prepared for more than a few surprises. This take on the classic is fresh and fun. After a warm reception during the workshop and 2018 previews, Tootsie officially launched on Broadway in 2019. Opening with an all-star cast that includes Tony Award nominee Santino Fontana and Lillie Cooper, Tootsie is being hailed as one of the best stage adaptations of a popular movie ever.

It’s no surprise that this timeless story is now on Broadway for the next generation of fans to enjoy.
