Show Description:
A heartwarming Cinderella story about a witty and winsome young woman and her mysterious benefactor, based on the treasured novel that inspired the classic 1955 film. DADDY LONG LEGS is a beloved tale in the spirit of Jane Austen, The Bronte Sisters and Downton Abbey.
DADDY LONG LEGS features music and lyrics by Tony Award-nominated composer/lyricist, Paul Gordon (Jane Eyre), and Tony-winning librettist/director, John Caird (Les Miserables), and is a “rags-to-riches” tale of newfound love.
Set in the early 1900s in New England, DADDY LONG LEGS follows Jerusha Abbott, the “oldest orphan in the John Grier Home,” as her life is forever changed by a mysterious benefactor giving her the opportunity to attend college to be educated as a writer. The only condition: to write to him monthly with no expectation of receiving a reply. Through her letters to her benefactor–whom she dubs “Daddy Long Legs” in her ignorance of his identity–the audience follows Jerusha’s blossoming and adventures in her newfound freedom.
Occasionally accompanied by her roommate’s uncle, Jervis, who further enriches her world, Jerusha’s life is changed forever–all due to one startling truth she has yet to discover.
