Everybody’s favourite nanny is heading to Melbourne, with Mrs. Doubtfire set to make its Australian premiere at Melbourne’s Princess Theatre from November 2026.
Based on the beloved 1993 film that starred Robin Williams, the feelgood comedy musical brings all the iconic moments to the stage, alongside brand new songs and big dance numbers. The production is directed by four time Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks.

“Producing Mrs. Doubtfire has been an incredible and joyful experience. This show is heartwarming, hilarious and fun for the whole family and we’re delighted that audiences in Melbourne will now get to embrace everybody’s favourite nanny for themselves,” said roducers Kevin McCollum and Jamie Wilson.
“We cannot wait to premiere this new musical in Melbourne at the beautiful Princess Theatre. Melbourne is the home of comedy and Mrs. Doubtfire is a hilarious and heartfelt musical that proves we’re better together,” said producer Suzanne Jones of JONES Theatrical Group.
After sell out seasons in the West End, on Broadway and across the US and beyond, the production now makes its Australian debut.
