CRT Daddy Long Legs – July 15-24 

Music & Lyrics by Paul Gordon
Book by John Caird
Based on the novel by Jean Webster

A charming “rags-to-riches” musical romance! In the early 1900’s, Jerusha Abbott, the “oldest orphan in the John Grier Home,” is given a rare chance to attend college by a mysterious benefactor – on one condition: she must write to him every month, never knowing who he is. As her letters unfold, Jerusha discovers inspiration from the warm, worldly Jervis Pendleton, as his reply letters open her eyes to new possibilities. In a moment of whimsy, she nicknames him “Daddy Long Legs.” But as her confidence blooms, a life-changing secret waits to be revealed. Filled with humor, grace, and beautiful melodies, Daddy Long Legs is a heartwarming story of imagination, independence, and finding one’s own voice.
