Theater review: ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ brings some touching silliness to the Ordway
7 / 10
Director Steve Edlund keeps the pace snappy and the energy vibrant throughout the show’s two-hour-and-40-minute running time. And the performers are invariably impressive, especially when avidly embracing the absurdity of such dance numbers as all the internet cooks coming to life in one kitchen, a nightmare sequence full of Riverdancing Mrs. Doubtfires or a climactic flamenco conflagration. Yet the ballads are also strong, conveying palpable sorrow as the family members figure up their losses.
