About the Show

A new family-friendly musical comedy based on the 1993 film of the same name.

After losing custody of his three kids in a messy divorce, out-of-work actor Daniel Hillard will do just about anything to see them. With the help of his make-up artist brother, he creates an alter ego - a Scottish nanny named Euphegenia Doubtfire - in a desperate attempt to see his children every day. As his new character begins to consume his life, Mrs. Doubtfire teaches Daniel, his ex-wife Miranda, and their children Lydia, Christopher & Natalie more than they bargained for.

'Mrs. Doubtfire' transfers to the West End after a 2022 run at the Manchester Opera House and a 2021 run on Broadway, where the show won a Drama Desk Award. 4-time Tony Award-winner Jerry Zaks (Hello, Dolly!) directs.

This production is recommended for ages 7+.

Critic Reviews (15)

"Appropriately enough for a tale all about transformations – inside and out – it’s surprisingly inventive, refashioning the original just enough to make it thoroughly theatrical and a smart 21st-century show."

" 'Mrs. Doubtfire' is a surprisingly original creation, modernised for a contemporary audience without detracting from the charm of the original. Not only is it a fantastically fun night out, it has heart...and that alone is worth the ticket price."

"The show may delight a younger generation encountering the story for the first time but it ultimately serves as a cautionary tale against taking a well-loved film and giving it a bland treatment on stage."

“Doubt thou the stars are fire, doubt that the sun doth move, doubt truth to be a liar – but never doubt I love ‘Mrs Doubtfire,’ the feelgood but not fluffy-minded musical that has pitched up at the newly made-over Shaftesbury theatre.”

" 'Mrs Doubtfire' feels like it melds the best of past and present, offering a dose of nostalgia that's more complicated than Mary Poppins's spoonful of sugar - but just as sweet."

“Completely joyous to watch and beautiful at its heart, this is a show with an important message that is carried off beautifully...the one aspect that makes this production a triumph is the lead performance by Gabriel Vick – completely outstanding and one everybody needs to see to believe. I’m left with absolutely no doubt that ‘Mrs Doubtfire’ Is going to be a hit.”

Those who are fans of the film will love this stage adaptation. It’s incredibly funny, toe-tappingly good and full of heart. It’s almost worth catching just for the superb quick changes that see Vick transform into Euphegenia, sometimes quite literally, in front of our eyes. Mrs. Doubtfire The Musical is the fun night out you never knew you needed.
