Plans for a musical based on 1993 hit movie "Mrs Doubtfire" have been put on hold.

Oscar-winning composer Alan Menken revealed last year that an adaptation of the Robin Williams film was "in the early stages".

But Menken - the man behind classic Disney songs from "A Whole New World" to "Under the Sea" - said "Mrs Doubtfire: The Musical" is not happening, reported Digital Spy.

"Mrs Doubtfire went through a change of lyricist, and then also a dramaturgical evolution. At the moment, the best thing I could say is that it's on a creative hiatus," he said.

"Harvey Fierstein moved on to doing 'The Wiz' for NBC and 'Funny Girl' - which is in London right now - and I moved on. I got stuck with all my Galavant work and my 'Beauty and the Beast' live-action movie work, so I'm on a hiatus from 'Mrs Doubtfire'," Menken added.
