The musical, which recently closed on the West End, will open for its first UK & Ireland tour at the Birmingham Hippodrome in August 2026.
It has been announced that Gabriel Vick will reprise his role of Daniel Hillard in the UK & Ireland tour following his performances in the West End.
As well as Birmingham, the musical will visit: Newcastle, Plymouth, Leeds, Glasgow and Southampton. More dates and casting for the tour have yet to be announced.
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.
The musical, based on the much loved film starring Robin Williams features original music and lyrics by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick, and a book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell (Something Rotten!). Direction is by Tony winner Jerry Zaks (Hello, Dolly!), choreography by Lorin Latarro (Waitress), and music supervision, arrangements and 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 by Verity Naughton. It is produced by Kevin McCollum and Jamie Wilson and is presented by special arrangement with Buena Vista Theatrical.
Talking about reprising his role for the UK & Ireland tour Gabriel Vick said: “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!”
