Mra Doubfire - on fire!
by Mes Doubfire on 11/11/25National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - OttawaRating: 5 out of 5For once, I treated myself with some really good tickets.
Loved every second.
Confortable seats, great view, nice and helpful ushers, it set the tone for a wonderful time.
What a great show!
The cast, the musicians, 5 stars all around. THEY did a flawless job.
However, sound was horrible in all aspects: Sounded like all singers were singing from a can of soup, and like the orchestra was not 'plugged' in the sound system.
I was seated in DD 14.
I thought that things would sound better in Act II, but no.
Another detail that 'killed' the magic of the show was that ALL the artists on stage had their microphone cables hanging out of their outfits. Usually, this is something you'll never see happening, but on saturday afternoon, this technical boo boo made the show look and feel quite amateur.
So, thank god the performers and musicians were excellent. Their respective talents made us accept the horrible sound and poor management of the sound equipment.
