Mrs Doubtfire musical announces 2023 West End run

Mrs Doubtfire is a musical based on the 1993 movie of the same name. It follows a father who transforms himself into a nanny to spend more time with his children during a custody battle. The musical explores themes of love, family, and the lengths we go to stay connected with those we care about.

The much-anticipated West End production of Mrs. Doubtfire has finally revealed its full cast, and it’s a star-studded line-up that’s sure to captivate audiences! Leading the show will be Gabriel Vick, known for his incredible performance in Avenue Q, who will be joined by Laura Tebbutt from School of Rock, Carla Dixon-Hernandez from Matilda the Musical, and Cameron Blakely from Newsies.

But that’s not all! The talented Marcus Collins, who wowed audiences in Kinky Boots, will be playing the role of Andre, while Samuel Edwards, who starred in Anything Goes, will be taking on the role of Stuart Dunmire. Ian Talbot, who directed The Mousetrap, will also be making an appearance as Mr. Jolly, alongside Kelly Agbowu from Sylvia as Wanda Sellner.

And the excitement doesn’t stop there!
