Beloved Comedy Musical Hits the Road Following West End Success

Following a celebrated West End run, the smash-hit musical comedy Mrs. Doubtfire will tour the UK and Ireland for the first time in 2026, beginning in Birmingham next August. Based on the much-loved film and starring Gabriel Vick in the title role, the tour will visit major cities across the country, including Newcastle, Plymouth, Leeds, Glasgow, and Southampton, with more venues still to be announced.
The musical tells the story of Daniel Hillard, an out-of-work actor who disguises himself as Scottish nanny Euphegenia Doubtfire in a desperate attempt to stay in his children's lives following a messy divorce. What begins as a ruse soon transforms into a heartwarming and hilarious journey of self-discovery and family.
Gabriel Vick to Reprise Acclaimed West End Role
West End star Gabriel Vick will reprise his role as Daniel Hillard/Mrs. Doubtfire, following critical acclaim for his performance in London. His extensive stage credits include Avenue Q, Once, Scrooge, Sunny Afternoon, and Chariots of Fire. Vick also has numerous film and television credits, including roles in Les Misérables, The Invisible Woman, and Christmas on Mistletoe Farm.
Speaking on the announcement, Vick said:
“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!”
