The Show

MRS. DOUBTFIRE the feel-good comedy musical based on the beloved film, arrives in Melbourne this November. Out-of-work actor Daniel Hillard 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 bid to stay in their lives.
As his character takes on a life of its own, Daniel learns more than he bargained for about family, love, what it means to be a father. Featuring all the iconic moments you know and love, plus fabulous new songs and show-stopping dance numbers, MRS. DOUBTFIRE is a hilarious and heartfelt musical that proves we’re better together.
