Feel-good comedy musical ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ will premiere in Australia at Melbourne’s Princess Theatre from November 2026.
’Mrs. Doubtfire’ is, of course, based on the beloved film starring Robin Williams. It features all the iconic moments you know and love, plus fabulous new songs and show-stopping dance numbers. The production is directed by four-time Tony Award-winning Jerry Zaks.
Out-of-work actor Daniel Hillard will do anything for his kids. In order to try and stay close to them after losing custody in a messy divorce, Daniel creates the alter ego of Scottish nanny, Euphegenia Doubtfire. As the character he’s created takes on a life of its own, Daniel discovers more than he bargained for about family, love, and what it really means to be a father.
“Producing ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ has been an incredible and joyful experience,” Producers Kevin McCollum and Jamie Wilson say. “This show is heartwarming, hilarious and fun for the whole family and we're delighted that audiences in Melbourne will now get to embrace everybody’s favourite nanny for themselves.”
“We cannot wait to premiere this new musical in Melbourne at the beautiful Princess Theatre. Melbourne is the home of comedy and ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ is a hilarious and heartfelt musical that proves we’re better together,” Producer (JONES Theatrical Group) Suzanne Jones says.
The show played to sell-out crowds in the West End for almost two years, as well as celebrated Broadway season and tours across the US, Germany, South Korea and Brazil.
’Mrs. Doubtfire’ plays Melbourne’s Princess Theatre from November 2026.
