MRS. DOUBTFIRE Sets West End Closing Date, Hints at Future Productions

In a new special video, Mrs. Doubtfire the Musical has announced its London closing date. The musical will play its final performance on 26 April 2025 at The Shaftesbury Theatre.

“Following lots of speculation in the gossip columns, I have decided to make the following statement to the press," says 'Mrs Doubtfire' (played by Gabriel Vick) in the video. "I have made it known loudly that I’ve had a lovely time here in London. I have loved that so many parents made my show their choice for their children’s first visit to the theatre, but I’m starting to get itchy feet dears  – so the time has come to have a little VaCAY."

The iconic character also revealed she will be taking herself "on a world tour - like Taylor Swift, but with bigger corsets" which hints at future productions of the musical around the world.

According to a press release, forthcoming engagements of Mrs Doubtfire The Musical will be announced in due course.
