Brilliant show, better than expected. Thoroughly enjoyed the show, great acting and very funny. Some gags were up to date which, for those of us who were around as adults for the film coming out, really made us laugh out loud and was true and relevant to the film. Well done to all the actors, actresses, musical cast and all at the theatre, it was a truly memorable and brilliant performance.

Fantastic The show was vibrant, funny, great acting and singing. It was a great stage adaption of the movie. highly recommend
Sara, 27 Oct 2024
Great show, plenty laughs and lots of talent I expected to enjoy this show of such an iconic movie but it really did surpass all my expectations. It was fun, funny, poignant, entertaining, beautiful songs and talented voices. Every single artist on that stage performed supremely well. I absolutely loved it and was enthralled throughout. The genres of music and dances were varied and thrilling (the restaurant performance in particular). Very dry sense of humour, subtle comedy at times and in your face LOL in others.
Bravo!
Stella, 20 Oct 2024
An amazing show and my first solo show Well what an experience! I had a random night in London so decided as this show was close to my hotel to go along! Even though this was the first time I’ve ever seen a show on my own I had the best time! The humour was/is relevant and although some of the jokes have an adult theme they are done in a subliminal way so the adults get to have as much fun as the kids! Brilliant show!
Melanie, 19 Oct 2024
Uplifting, must see show Very entertaining show. Cast are fabulous especially lead actors.
Valerie, 16 Oct 2024
Brilliant Took my granddaughter. It didn’t disappoint. Was fantastic. We really enjoyed it
Maxine, 13 Oct 2024
Best Single Performance I have Seen in MusicalTheatre Mrs. Doubtfire was simply brilliant and has to be one of the best theatre performances ever. Well worth the price of admission.

Kelly, 05 Oct 2024
Pantomime humour Didn’t match the humour of the fim
Trevor, 05 Oct 2024
Feel good show From start to finish it was brilliant,not at any time was there a boring bit it was great all round.would definitely see it again.we sat in J6-7 had a great view,my only issue was it was quite loud in hindsight I would sit further back or even in the circle.Again a brilliant and funny show.
Amanda, 03 Oct 2024
Why is this show a musical? The songs were a forced way to make small advances on the plot, but by themselves were not memorable.
Donald, 29 Sep 2024
Excellent show Best show! Highly entertaining.
Rachel, 26 Sep 2024
Spectacular!!!!!! Superb acting , lighting, costumes and songs!!!!! Just a true delight!!
oren, 21 Sep 2024
Amazing !!! So very well done
Mrs Doubtfire was absolutely brilliant. So funny and a great talent
Loved it all and everyone x
DIANNE, 18 Sep 2024
Amazing, funny and witty ! The show was truly amazing in every aspect. The only yet MAJOR deception is the first degree capitalization on homosexuality, which was totally unnecessary and added nothing to serve the plot, except to transform it into a “marketing material”. Which in my opinion, inappropriate for families with young children (as my 6 years old). The reference to inter-gender marriages, same gender parents, ect kept coming up for more than 6-7 times in case you missed it. Unfortunately, I would not recommend for children, despite the amazing acting, beautiful songs, the humor and all the wittiness.
Diana, 15 Sep 2024
Awesome I loved it. Was superb
Loretta, 15 Sep 2024
Delightful Wonderful show. So funny in places - laughing out loud. A few adult nuanced jokes but they’re no problem. Sat up ion the high cheap seats and view was super.
The kids in it are great and Daniel - Mrs Doubtfire is very talented at a myriad of voices
Mary, 09 Sep 2024
What an experience!! Absolutely superb from beginning to end. A real tonic!
Carol, 07 Sep 2024
Excellent Brilliant adaptation of the original movie. Fantastic acting by the performers especially the character of the father with the Scottish accent
Gaik, 06 Sep 2024
A show for all ages Except that we are all musical "junkies", I was amazed that we all thoroughly enjoyed it as we represented preteen, 40's and 70's. Insisted on slotting this into our 5-day visit to London in May and it was a great hit!
Mary Louise, 02 Sep 2024
Amazing production one not to miss We really enjoyed every moment of the show from start to finish this is one you definitely don’t want to miss and won’t be disappointed
Paul, 24 Aug 2024

Mrs Doubtfire Excellent show, wonderful cast
Carol, 23 Jul 2024
Great Just carefull with the sound of the Mic of certain characters (high too loud)
Matthieu, 19 Jul 2024
Superb performance Mrs. Doubtfire was played by a sensational actor. In fact all the cast performed to a very high standard. Highly entertaining. I took my 2 American grandchildren aged 6 and 8 and they understood perfectly what was happening as it stayed close to events in the film. Paid a little extra for a box in case the children got fidgety. Well worth the money. Would highly recommend this show for all ages. Very entertaining.
Kim, 19 Jul 2024
Dreadful experience Shocking behaviour from a drunk lady sat next to us, had to leave before the end. No recompense offered.
Catherine, 16 Jul 2024

Choreography was fantastic

Mahesh naidu, 22 May 2024
Absolute must see!! This show is amazing! It is funny, well performed, great singing and dancing. It's everything the theatre should be. It also does justice to the movie! I can't recommend this show enough!!
Magenta, 20 May 2024
Funny and entertaining The performers were excellent especially the Mrs Doubtfire character. Singing, acting and staging were really well done. I felt the second act lost a little bit of pace but picked up at the end. I didn’t come away with any of the songs going through my mind as outstanding. Overall worthwhile seeing, most age groups would enjoy it.
Peter, 13 May 2024
Best one to date!! This show is for everyone, young,old and inbetween. Brilliantly put together..the most superb acting. If you have seen the film you still need to see this.
Deborah, 04 May 2024
1ere comedie musicale pour nos enfants Visite à Londres, passage obligatoire de voir une comédie musicale. Le choix des enfants s'est porté sur Mrs Doubtfire et aucun regret pour toute la famille !
Yves, 02 May 2024
Excellent show for everyone Great acting and singing, the lead man was absolutely superb, a really talented man. The other leads were also very convincing actors and excellent singers. The sets were also very good and the whole production was very slick. Really funny and great fun for everyone to be honest.
David, 29 Apr 2024
Absolutely fabulous in every way Pay the extra to get good seats in the stalls.
The whole cast are incredibly talented, fantastic singing and dancing by all the members.
Allan, 23 Apr 2024
Incredible Take the time while visiting London to see Mrs Doubtfire, the whole show was amazing. The actors were very talented, especially Mrs Doubtfire with all the voices he could do.
Welll worth a night out for sure.
Robyn, 19 Apr 2024
Fantastic show Brilliant show in a comfortable theatre, warning to parents bring some tissues this show does get the feels going.
Christine, 17 Apr 2024
A beautiful tribute to Robin Williams I was a little apprehensive about seeing the show and whether the main role of Mrs Doubtfire could be performed by the actor but was pleasantly surprised. He was superb as rest as the rest of the main crew. Children were also outstanding.

Dawn, 14 Mar 2024
Funny I've given a 5 star review even though there were some tech issues at the beginning and the first half was a bit slow for me. However, after the interval and an icecream the second half was hilarious, especially the restaurant scene with the Spanish dancers whom were really funny. Overall a great last minute treat.
Sue, 14 Mar 2024
Nice Well done, I thought it would be less colourful and innovative but it was. Would recommend for families. The cast does a great job!
Barbara, 13 Mar 2024
Wonderful to watch a great show Absolutely brilliant main character performance was a credit to Robin Williams from the dancing to the stage show set up was fantastic. And the funny moments in the show was full of laughter.
kenneth, 27 Feb 2024
Fantastic and totally entertaining! Other than a tall individual in front of me partially blocking my view, I have no complaints and I truly enjoyed the entire event. A side or upper view would eliminate this issue.

Whole cast was great, but “Daniel” was outstanding.
Great for the whole family
Andrew, 13 Jan 2024
Great show I went to show for my birthday with my partner and we really enjoyed it. One blip was that a wheelchair user blocking our seats but they moved us to seats nearer to the stage which we appreciated. We were moved to row P in the stalls
