It is a genuine privilege to be entrusted to promote and deliver Tootsieto professional and amateur stages around the world. The film Tootsie is widely considered one of the great movie comedies in history and Robert Horn and David Yazbek have brilliantly updated the story as a stage musical in a way that connects deeply with today’s audiences on both a comedic and human level.”
