From man to nanny
The national touring production of the Broadway musical “Mrs. Doubtfire” arrives in Utah, for a six-day, eight-show run starting Tuesday at the Eccles Theater, 131 S. Main St., Salt Lake City. Based on the 1993 Robin Williams comedy, the musical tells of Daniel, a divorced dad who finds an unusual way of keeping close to his children — by dressing as an old woman and getting a job as their nanny. Showtimes are: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 7 p.m.; Friday at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday at 1 and 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, Sept. 15, at 1 and 6:30 p.m. Tickets available at saltlakecity.broadway.com.

Putting away Childish things
Saturday might be the last chance for Utahns to see Childish Gambino — the musical alter-ego of actor and writer Donald Glover — when he headlines at Delta Center, 300 W. South Temple, Salt Lake City. Glover has announced that the album he’s supporting on tour, “Bando Stone & the New World,” which he released in July, will be his last under the Gambino moniker. So see the man behind the mega-successful “This Is America” while you can. Show starts at 8 p.m.; tickets are available at deltacenter.com.
