Smash-hit West End musical comedy Mrs Doubtfire is heading off on a major new tour of the UK and Ireland.
The hit comedy musical will open at the Birmingham Hippodrome in August 2026 followed by dates in Newcastle, Plymouth, Leeds, Glasgow and Southampton, with many more cities to be announced.
The show finished up at the West End’s Shaftesbury Theatre on Saturday, 26 April 2025, after two years in London.
The UK and Ireland tour of Mrs Doubtfire will star Gabriel Vick (Avenue Q) as Daniel Hillard, following his acclaimed performances in the West End. Further casting for the tour will be announced.
Based on the much-loved movie starring Robin Williams, Mrs Doubtfire is a hilarious and heartfelt story that sees out-of-work actor Daniel do anything for his kids. After losing custody in a messy divorce, he creates the alter ego of Scottish nanny Euphegenia Doubtfire in a desperate attempt to stay in their lives. As his new character takes on a life of its own, Mrs. Doubtfire teaches Daniel more than he bargained for about how to be a father.
Mrs Doubtfire has Original Music and Lyrics by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick, and a Book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell (Something Rotten!).
Direction for the show is by Jerry Zaks (Hello, Dolly!), with Choreography by Lorin Latarro (Waitress), and Music Supervision, Arrangements & Orchestrations by Ethan Popp (Tina: The Tina Turner Musical). Scenic design is by David Korins (Hamilton), Costume Design by Catherine Zuber (Moulin Rouge! The Musical), Lighting Design by Philip S. Rosenberg (Pretty Woman The Musical), Sound Design by Brian Ronan (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical), Hair Design by David Brian Brown (Frozen), Casting by Stuart Burt (Cabaret) and Children’s Casting Director is Verity Naughton.
The final West End cast of the show also featured Laura Tebbutt (School of Rock) as Miranda Hillard, Cameron Blakely (Newsies) as Frank Hillard, Marcus Collins (Kinky Boots) as Andre, and Micha Richardson (Come From Away) as Wanda Sellner.
Gabriel Vick said in a statement: “I am delighted to be bringing the beloved Mrs Doubtfire direct from London to audiences throughout the UK and Ireland. The musical is full of the moments you know and love from the film and also packed with brilliant new songs. It is heartwarming, hilarious and going to be so much fun for the whole family. See you there, Poppets!”
Producer Jamie Wilson said: “On behalf of Kevin McCollum and myself, producing Mrs Doubtfire in the West End has been an incredible experience, and we’re delighted that audiences across the country will now get to embrace everybody’s favourite nanny for themselves. Gabriel Vick’s performance as Mrs Doubtfire is truly remarkable, bringing so much warmth and charm to the character. He is a true star on stage, and we are so proud to have him leading our talented cast.”
