What is Mrs Doubtfire the Musical about?

Based on the beloved 1993 film starring Robin Williams, Mrs Doubtfire the Musical follows Daniel Hillard, a devoted but out-of-work father who, after losing custody of his children in a divorce, disguises himself as a Scottish nanny to stay close to them. With a book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O'Farrell and music by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick, the musical brings warmth, comedy, and heart to the West End stage.

Why see Mrs Doubtfire the Musical?

The show features spectacular costume transformations that happen right before your eyes, catchy original songs, and a leading performance that captures the spirit of the film while making the role entirely its own. The production is a genuine family crowd-pleaser with laughs for adults and children alike. The choreography is energetic, the set design is inventive, and the emotional core of the story translates beautifully to musical theatre.
