Touch tour of Mrs. Doubtfire The Musical, a 30-minute session for blind and visually impaired audiences before an audio-described performance.
Mrs. Doubtfire The Musical comes to Milton Keynes Theatre on Saturday 19 June 2027, and it's bringing a touch tour with it. For those who haven't come across them before, touch tours are a thing that happens before an audio-described performance, and they're run at theatres across the country as part of inclusive arts engagement.
It's a 30-minute session built for blind and visually impaired audiences. During the tour, you can handle the props and costumes and explore the staging, which helps build a physical sense of the production before the show starts. You also get to meet cast members, so you can connect the voices you'll hear during the performance to the people behind them. It's designed to give you a proper feel for the world of the play before you settle in for the audio-described show that follows.
As for the show itself, it's a stage adaptation of the film most of us know well. It follows a devoted father who resorts to an elaborate disguise to stay close to his children, and it balances laugh-out-loud comedy with genuine emotional depth. It's as much about family bonds, identity and the lengths one will go to for love as it is about the disguise, and the whole thing is carried by a vibrant score.
