Synopsis:
A heartwarming Cinderella story based on the treasured novel, this endearing musical tells the story of a witty and winsome young woman, Jerusha Abbott and her mysterious benefactor. This mysterious benefactor sends her to college on the condition that she writes him a letter once a month. Unaware of the benefactor’s identity, she invents a nickname for him: Daddy Long Legs. This 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).
