Mrs Doubtfire musical reveals full UK and Ireland tour cast and dates
The musical adaptation of Mrs Doubtfire has unveiled its complete casting for the first UK and Ireland tour, following a well-received West End run. The tour will visit multiple venues from August 2026 through August 2027, bringing the beloved story to regional audiences.
Mrs Doubtfire, originally seen on Broadway and based on the iconic film starring Robin Williams, follows the tale of a divorced man who disguises himself as a Scottish nanny to remain close to his children. The musical’s West End production earned positive reviews, with WhatsOnStage calling it a “thoroughly enjoyable musical that wears its heart on its sleeve.”
The upcoming tour stars Gabriel Vick as Daniel Hillard, reprising his West End role, alongside Kara Lily Hayworth as Miranda Hillard, Aaliya Mai as Lydia Hillard, and Ryan Pidgen as Frank Hillard. The cast also includes Jairus McClanahan, James Darch, Samuelle Durojaiye, Carl Patrick, Kiera Haynes, and Rhianne Alleyne in key roles, with Adam Colbeck-Dunn serving as alternate Daniel.
Several actors alternate the roles of the Hillard children: Charlie Banks, Alexander Beaumont, Joshua Miles, and Dexter Pulling alternate as Christopher Hillard, while Santi Cohen, Harly Gill, Mila Isaacs, and Hattie Leddington Wright alternate as Natalie Hillard. The ensemble is rounded out by Zac Adlam, Rhona Butler, Joshua Clayton, Emma Dempsey, and others.
The musical features original music and lyrics by Wayne and Karey Kirkpatrick, with a book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell. Direction is by Tony winner Jerry Zaks, choreography by Lorin Latarro, and music supervision by Ethan Popp. The creative team also includes designers David Korins, Catherine Zuber, Philip S Rosenberg, Brian Ronan, and David Brian Brown.
Produced by Kevin McCollum and Jamie Wilson, Mrs Doubtfire’s UK and Ireland tour opens at Birmingham Hippodrome running from 13 August to 19 September 2026. It will then travel to Newcastle, Plymouth, Leeds, and Dublin for the festive season.
The tour will continue into 2027, stopping at Glasgow, Southampton, Liverpool, Cardiff, Nottingham, Sheffield, Milton Keynes, Aberdeen, and Canterbury, with dates extending through mid-August 2027. Ticket sales for Nottingham are yet to be announced.
