The musical is currently playing at the Shaftesbury Theatre.
It has been announced that the musical, based on the beloved 1990’s film starring Robin Williams, will play its final West End performance on the 26th April 2025.
In a statement, Mrs Doubtfire said: “Following lots of speculation in the gossip columns, I have decided to make the following statement to the press.
“I have made it known loudly that I’ve had a lovely time here in London. I have loved that so many parents made my show their choice for their children’s first visit to the theatre, but I’m starting to get itchy feet dears – so the time has come to have a little VaCAY. I’ve decided I’m going to take myself on a world tour – like Taylor Swift – but with bigger corsets.
“Fear not though poppets, I won’t be leaving London just yet, you can catch me here at the Shaftesbury Theatre until April 26 – see you soon dears!”
Dates and venues for the tour have yet to be announced.
Out-of-work actor Daniel will do anything for his kids.
