Mrs Doubtfire musical is making its UK debut at Manchester Opera House

The new Mrs Doubtfire comedy musical will be making its UK debut here at Manchester Opera House. 

Premiering on Broadway in New York with rave reviews and record ticket sales, the musical tells the tale of out-of-work dad Daniel who, after getting a divorce from his wife, creates the alter ego of Scottish nanny Euphegina Doubtfire in an attempt to continue seeing his children on a regular basis.

The heartwarming story was catapulted to global fame in 1993 when actor Robin Williams took on the role of Mrs Doubtfire and, to this very day, remains a firm family favourite – so what better time to announce the arrival of it’s on-stage adaptation?
