Hellooo Newcastle!
Beloved Scottish nanny Euphegenia Doubtfire will be packing up her suitcase and hitting the road next year as her West End and Broadway musical Mrs. Doubtfire tours the UK and Ireland for the first time. The hit comedy musical will visit Newcastle Theatre Royal Wed 23 Sep – Sun 11 Oct 2026.
A hilarious and heartfelt story about holding onto your loved ones against all odds, Mrs. Doubtfire is the musical comedy for all ages.
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 UK and Ireland tour of Mrs. Doubtfire will star Gabriel Vick as Daniel Hillard who is delighted to be bringing the beloved character to life on tour, following his acclaimed performances in the West End.
He 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!”
Producer Jamie Wilson added: "On behalf of Kevin McCollum and myself, producing Mrs. Doubtfire in the West End has been an incredible experience, and we're delighted that audiences across the country will now get to embrace everybody’s favourite nanny for themselves. Gabriel Vick's performance as Mrs Doubtfire is truly remarkable, bringing so much warmth and charm to the character. He is a true star on stage, and we are so proud to have him leading our talented cast."
Further casting is to be announced.
