Saint Paul, Minnesota (February 17, 2026) — The Ordway Center for Performing Arts is thrilled to present Mrs. Doubtfire, the smash hit musical comedy based on the beloved movie, March 17–22, 2026. Tickets are now available at Ordway.org or by contacting the ticket office at 651.224.4222.
“Mrs. Doubtfire is pure theatrical joy—big laughs, genuine heart, and a story that celebrates family in all its beautifully nuanced forms,” said Ordway President and CEO Chris Harrington. “We’re thrilled to welcome this internationally acclaimed musical to Saint Paul and to share an experience that brings audiences across generations and backgrounds together.”
Based on the beloved film, Mrs. Doubtfire tells the hysterical and heartfelt story of an out-of-work actor who will do anything for his kids. It’s “the lovable, big-hearted musical comedy we need right now,” raves the Chicago Tribune. The critically acclaimed production features Craig Allen Smith in the title role of Daniel Hillard/Euphegenia Doubtfire (everyone’s favorite Scottish nanny), joined by actress Melissa Campbell as Miranda Hillard.
Rounding out the principal company are Alanis Sophia as Lydia Hillard, Brian Kalinowski as Frank Hillard, DeVon Wycovia Buchanan as Andre Mayem, Collin Salvatorè as Stuart Dunmire, Kennedy V. Jackson as Wanda Sellner, Vivian Atencio and Ava Rose Doty as Natalie Hillard, and Chance Challen and Theodore Lowenstein as Christopher Hillard.
The cast also includes Scott Taylor-Cole, Naja Bates, Kirstin Angelina Henry, Chaz Ingraham, Se’Lah Jackson, Kasey Lazan, Giulia Marolda, Chelsea Lynne Myers, Jayden Nelson, Izzy Ramirez, Grayson Todd, Rico Velazquez, Patrick Joseph Wallace, and Kade Wright.
Out-of-work actor Daniel Hillard will do anything for his kids. After losing custody in a messy divorce, he creates the kindly alter ego of Scottish nanny Euphegenia Doubtfire in a desperate attempt to stay in their lives. As his new character takes on a life of its own, Mrs. Doubtfire teaches Daniel more than he bargained for about how to be a father. A hysterical and heartfelt story about holding onto your loved ones against all odds, Mrs. Doubtfire is the musical comedy we need right now—one that proves we’re better together.
Based on the original direction by four-time Tony Award® winner Jerry Zaks, the new musical comedy features a book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell, and music and lyrics by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick, the Tony Award nominated team behind Something Rotten!
Mrs. Doubtfire is part of the Ordway’s 2025–2026 Broadway at the Ordway series of powerhouse musicals, which also includes the upcoming hits Spamalot and SIX.
