Mrs. Doubtfire
Mrs. Doubtfire
MRS. DOUBTFIRE is now dazzling and delighting audiences at London’s Shaftesbury Theatre! This ‘genuinely funny comedy musical’ (Time Out) based on the beloved film is ‘a surefire hit!’ (The Telegraph, Daily Express). The Telegraph calls it ‘a complete joy’, The Times says it ‘soars from screen to stage’, and City AM hails MRS. DOUBTFIRE as ‘funny, heart-warming and wildly entertaining!’
Out-of-work actor Daniel will 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 been created by a transatlantic team of award-winning artists, with a book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell, original music and lyrics by Wayne and Karey Kirkpatrick (the Tony Award-nominated team behind Something Rotten!, along with O’Farrell), direction by 4-time Tony winner Jerry Zaks (Hello, Dolly!), scenic design by David Korins (Hamilton), choreography by Lorin Latarro (Waitress), and music supervision by Ethan Popp (Tina: The Tina Turner Musical).

Fabulous production …we belly laughed all the way through . We wondered if anyone could follow Robin Williams in the lead role but this Daniel certainly did that with zest . Funny and current …ultimate feel good theatre

What a performance- utterly fantastic. How these producers have brought this film to the stage and adapted it slightly to suit the theatre I do not know. All the actors and dancers were outstanding. I just loved it - so funny at times and well Mrs Doutfire and the actor who played her was just the best. The voices, the accent rule magnificent

I found the film Mrs. Doubtfire excellent and this play is just as good as that film. The actor in the lead role was remarkable and the other characters were also very good. The slight change of emphasis to focus more on the older child was also a good decision. I've already emailed some of my friends and family about how terrific the show was and I'll tell yet more people in my circle that they should try to see the show if possible.

We really enjoyed the show. The main character Daniel did a fantastic job!! We feel though that the show wasn’t as dynamic as we would have liked it to be. Nevertheless it’s a perfect show for a family.

The film is a lifelong favourite of mine and I was worried that a theatre production would not do it justice, but I needn’t have worried. It was absolutely amazing and the actor who played Daniel was outstanding. Such enthusiasm and talent was displayed and the many voices he projected was very impressive. I would love to see it again.

I love the story of Mrs Doubtfire and have watched the film many times. I realised that the stage play would have limitations and accepted that certain scenes would have to be modified - but the entire show was too frenetic and rushed & no expense seemed to have been spent on Mrs Doubtfire's appearance as the prosthetics were awful! The kids were very good, though, very natural, so thumbs up to them!

We had a fantastic afternoon watching Mrs Doubtfire. There was a really great balance between the film’s original iconic moments and new, fun parts of the story. The actors were all amazing and we were astonished at the stamina (and talent obviously) of Gabriel Vick who plays Mrs Doubtfire. We will definitely be encouraging friends and family to go and see it.

Mrs Doubtfire the Musical was indeed a fantastic show and every cast member played their roles brilliantly. The musical numbers were superb, the choreography, the singing, all excellent. I did however, think that the levels between the band and those on stage were not quite right meaning that I struggled to fully hear all the words and a lot of the jokes/funny lines were lost. My other issue is difficult to explain. I felt like some of the cast came across as complacent in their performances and rushed. Each performance should be presented to the audience like it's the first time they have performed it; for most of those in the audience it will have been the first time they have seen it; to me it lacked something and I think it was from how some parts were performed. I would definitely watch it again however and would recommend any to see it.

The actors were very talented all, the script very imaginative, well worded and funny. The special effects just right — not too much or too noisy. The plot very well constructed visually.

My 15 year old enjoyed how immersive the story was done. My 9 year old found it very entertaining but found some words difficult…. Like ‘shit’. I was the adult in the group… I found some elements of the dancing as too long. We all enjoyed the totality… just some elements… not quite right for us.
