About the Show

Based on the 1912 novel of the same name by Jean Webster, 'Daddy Long Legs' is about Jerusha Abbott, the oldest orphan in the John Grier Home and the mysterious benefactor who sends her to college to be a writer.

Required to write him a letter once a month, Jerusha is never to know the benefactor’s identity—so she invents one for him: Daddy Long Legs. She grows more and more fond of this elusive and kindly gentleman as their correspondence continues. Jervis Pendleton is the well-do-do uncle of one of Jerusha’s roommates who introduces her to a world of literature, travel and adventure. Through her correspondence with Daddy Long Legs and her growing intimacy with Jervis, Jerusha’s letters chronicle her emergence as a delightfully independent “New American Woman.”

Enchanting, Exquisite, Must see, Refreshing, Masterful

See it if Loved loved loved it. Great acting, cute story, nice music and singing. Also the theatre seats 149 and is a relic of the past.

Don't see it if You enjoy more contemporary theatre, and dont like something that takes place In 1910.. ALTHOUGH I LOVED IT and I prefer contemporary shows

Absorbing, Entertaining, Enchanting, Delightful, Clever

See it if You like musical love stories with a twist. Very entertaining without getting too serious.

Don't see it if You don't like shows with a limited cast. There are only 2. If you want large production numbers with singing and dancing?
