Hit West End musical comedy Mrs Doubtfire has announced that it is closing in London’s West End.
The show is currently playing at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London, and will close on 26 April 2025.
Now in its second year at the Shaftesbury Theatre, Mrs. Doubtfire stars Gabriel Vick (Avenue Q) as Daniel Hillard, Laura Tebbutt (School of Rock) as Miranda Hillard, Cameron Blakely (Newsies) as Frank Hillard, Marcus Collins (Kinky Boots) as Andre, and Micha Richardson (Come From Away) as Wanda Sellner.
The cast also includes Charlotte Fleming as Lydia Hillard, Matthew Goodgame (Chicago) as Stuart Dunmire, Ross Dawes (The Phantom of the Opera) as Mr. Jolly, plus Michael Afemaré, Alex Bowen, Nicole Carlisle, Joshua Dever, Joseph Dockree, Autumn Draper, Maria Garrett, Cristina Hoey, Peter Houston, Jodie Knight, Ryan Lay, Adam Lyons, Lisa Mathieson, Ellie Mitchell, Perry O’Dea, Rhys Owen, Bleu Woodward, and Tom Woollaston.

Based on the much-loved movie starring Robin Williams, Mrs Doubtfire is a hilarious and heartfelt story that sees out-of-work actor Daniel 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 Original Music and Lyrics by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick, and a Book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell (Something Rotten!).

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 Director is Verity Naughton.
Mrs Doubtfire is booking at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London to 26 April 2025.
What 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 26th – see you soon dears!”
