Producers Kevin McCollum and Jamie Wilson are delighted to announce the arrival of a fresh new comedy musical, Mrs. Doubtfire, based on the iconic movie. It’ll be in London’s West End next summer. Having thrilled audiences at its UK premiere in Manchester earlier in 2022, the London production begins performances at the newly refurbished Shaftesbury Theatre from Friday 12th May 2023.
Who’s involved in MRS DOUBTFIRE
Out-of-work actor Daniel will do anything for his kids. After losing custody of them in a messy divorce, he creates an alter ego, a Scottish nanny called Euphegenia Doubtfire, in a desperate attempt to stay in their lives.

About the Shaftesbury Theatre
The Shaftesbury Theatre opened in 1911 as the New Prince's Theatre, the last in a run of new theatres built on Shaftesbury Avenue. The first show at the venue was The Three Musketeers. There was space for an audience of 3000 thanks to standing room in the stalls. Upcoming shows at the Shaftesbury Theatre include the comedian Sara Pascoe’s ‘Success Story’, The Magical Music of Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings: The Concert.
