Returning to the role of everyone's favourite Nanny, Mrs Doubtfire is Gabriel Vick who I was lucky enough to see in the West End production previously.  This role is perfect for Vick's exquisite comic timing and ability to command an audience, not withstanding his very impressive ability to provide some top tier impressions including Homer Simpson, Donald Trump and Kermit the Frog to name but a few.  You could really feel the love and energy he put into the performance, and he made the character feel both incredibly special and completely his own. A truly memorable performance that made the whole evening even more enjoyable.

The staging and costuming were fantastic and really brought the whole production to life. The set was clever and beautifully designed, transforming seamlessly between scenes and keeping the pace of the show moving brilliantly. The costumes were equally impressive, with so much attention to detail.  A real stand out moment was during 'Make Me a Woman' where we finally meet Mrs Doubtfire in all her finery.  The whole cast, including the wonderful Ryan Pidgen as Frank Hillard and Jairus McClanahan as Andre Mayem bought so much life and joy to this number, not to mention the fantastic ensemble cast, that it really was a show-stopping moment and highlighted the hardworking nature of the whole cast.
