Mrs Doubtfire is the hilarious new musical based on Robin Williams' smash-hit comedy.

Out-of-work actor Daniel is missing his kids after losing custody of them in a messy divorce, and he's spending every waking hour searching for a new job and somewhere to live.

That's when he notices his ex-wife is advertising for a new housekeeper and babysitter. He's willing to do just about anything to stay in his kids' lives, so he dons a prosthetic mask and disguises himself as the elderly Scottish nanny Euphegenia Doubtfire.

His larger-than-life alter-ego quickly becomes a much-loved part of their family, causing Daniel all sorts of problems as he tries to juggle both his lives without giving the game away. But then he falls in love with his ex-wife all over again...

Musical adaptation with original songs

Robin Williams' movie was a box-office smash when it came out in 1993 and is widely regarded as one of the funniest films of all time. It's been given a new lease to life with updated jokes and a soundtrack of original songs like Make Me A Woman and As Long as There Is Love.
