Help is on the way, dears, as everyone’s favourite nanny has taken over the Shaftesbury Theatre in London’s West End. Mrs Doubtfire tickets are available on London Theatre now.
Based on Anne Fine’s 1987 novel, Alias Madame Doubtfire, and the 1993 movie led by Robin Williams, Mrs. Doubtfire is a heartfelt musical that celebrates the power of family. Whether you grew up with the story, or you're meeting Euphegenia Doubtfire for the first time, everyone will enjoy this family-friendly theatre tonic.
Mrs. Doubtfire the musical centres on Daniel Hillard. He's an out-of-work actor, he’s newly divorced, and he loses custody of his children. Talk about bad things happening in threes. However, Daniel spots a cunning opportunity to spend more time with his children — become their nanny.
When Euphegenia Doubtfire takes a job in his ex-wife’s home, it’s all a ruse to stay in his children's lives. It doesn’t take long for the Doubtfire alias to consume his life, and Daniel quickly realises that putting on a mask won’t solve any problems. Can a fictional character teach him how to become a father?
At its core, Mrs Doubtfire is a heartfelt family story exploring the enduring bond between a father and his children in the midst of a divorce. The musical features a catchy score and hilarious scenes that will have you in fits of laughter throughout the show. Mrs Doubtfire rekindles the magic of the beloved movie with a fresh take on the iconic story that will make the musical an unforgettable experience for the whole family.
Our critic for London Theatre raves about the show, saying: “It’s surprisingly inventive, refashioning the original just enough to make it thoroughly theatrical and a smart 21st-century show.”
Gabriel Vick will play Daniel Hillard and Euphegenia Doubtfire in Mrs. Doubtfire in London. As well as starring in the original Avenue Q West End cast, his theatre CV includes Sunny Afternoon, Once, La Cage Aux Folles, A Little Night Music, and Cabaret.
