DADDY LONG LEGS

Playing: January 16 - 31, 2026

A heartwarming Cinderella story about a witty and winsome young woman and her mysterious benefactor

Based on the classic novel, which inspired the classic 1955 movie starring Fred Astaire, Daddy Long Legs features music and lyrics by Tony Award-nominated composer/lyricist, Paul Gordon, and Tony-winning librettist/director, John Caird.

Jerusha Abbott is the “Oldest Orphan in the John Grier Home” until a mysterious benefactor decides to send her to college to be educated as a writer. Required to write him a letter once a month, she is never to know the benefactor’s identity – so she invents one for him: Daddy Long Legs.

Jerusha’s letters chronicle her emergence as a delightfully independent “New American Woman.” Yet, there is one startling fact that Jerusha has yet to uncover – a fact that will change her life forever.
