Mrs. Doubtfire, the feelgood comedy musical based on the beloved film, will make its Sydney debut at the Capitol Theatre from March 2027.
Featuring all the iconic moments you know and love, plus fabulous new songs and show-stopping dance numbers, Mrs. Doubtfire is directed by four-time Tony Award winning Jerry Zaks.
“I’m genuinely delighted to bring Mrs. Doubtfire to Australia. It’s a joyous, laugh-filled musical about family that will delight audiences of all ages. Come see Mrs. Doubtfire live on stage, poppets,” said Tony Award-winning director Jerry Zaks.
“We are thrilled to be working with Suzanne Jones and the extended teams in bringing this wonderful production to Australia. Mrs. Doubtfire continues to spread joy across the world, and we are so excited for Melbourne and Sydney to share the love for the globe’s favourite Scottish nanny. In a world of uncertainty, everyone needs a little dose of Mrs. Doubtfire. Fear not poppets….help is on the way, dear!” said producers Kevin McCollum and Jamie Wilson.
“I first saw Mrs. Doubtfire on London’s West End and I didn’t stop laughing the entire time. It is an absolutely hilarious and heartfelt musical that fans of the movie will adore. Mrs. Doubtfire is the perfect match for Sydney with big energy and big laughs, all wrapped up in a comfy cardigan,” said producer Suzanne Jones of JONES Theatrical Group.
Based on the 1993 hit film Mrs. Doubtfire starring the much-loved Robin Williams, the musical played to sell-out crowds in the West End for almost two years as well as a Broadway season and tours across the US, Germany, South Korea and Brazil. A UK tour has recently been announced to begin in August this year.
Director Jerry Zaks most recently directed his 26th Broadway production, The Music Man starring Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster. Other recent productions include the Tony Award-winning production of Hello, Dolly!, Steve Martin’s Meteor Shower and A Bronx Tale.
He has received four Tony Awards and eight Tony Award nominations; four Drama Desk Awards; two Outer Critics Circle Awards and an Obie. He also directed the award-winning film Marvin’s Room, starring Meryl Streep and Diane Keaton, and Who Do You Love?
Casting announcements for the musical, which will debut in Melbourne in November 2026, will be made in the coming months.
