Review/Comment
Warmth, wisdom, and generosity illuminate the unlikely friendship of two Jewish teenagers from very different worlds who grow to manhood in the post-war turbulence of 1940’s Brooklyn. Discovering in one another a portal to new ideas and unexplored worlds, each must chart his course through a sea of conflicting expectations. This now-classic story of fathers and sons, faith and family, transcends ideology to reveal the universal connections of the human spirit.

I have been reading Daddy Long Legs since I was about 14, and gave it to my daughter and my nieces to read. The play sticks to the book in content, and most importantly, in spirit - I was a bit reluctant to see the play at first, specially after the bastardization by the Fred Astair movie! - but I am so glad that I did go! The singing is very good, both "Jerusha" and "Jarvis" have great voices, and their combination is fantastic. I hope that this play gets national! Collapse

The actors were 'spot on' in this unique piece, and the one set was flexible enough, and the direction was imaginative, and creative, using the luggage to take us from one place to another. The music however was on ONE LEVEL which made this piece seem longer than it was. Although the music during this period was similiar in style, added instrumentation would have given the audience variety and the actors more to play with. Is it worth seeing....YES. Robt. Kelly always gives us things to contemplate, imagine, and creativity for us to enjoy, and we are lucky to have him in this area. Support TheaterWorks as it is worth having them in our backyard.

This latest premiere from TW is a real credit to their new works pipeline. I loved what Paul Gordon did with "Emma" from new works to mainstage. This time he partners with John Caird (Les Miserables), and the results are even better. Wow! Go see it! Now! Collapse

Daddy Long Legs was one of the most enjoyable musical performances I have seen. It received a resounding standing ovation, so I assume the rest of the audience agreed with my enthusiasm over this new musical. I definitely recommend anyone considering purchasing tickets to do so. You won't be disappointed and will enjoy every moment of the performance. Collapse

This thought-provoking show is hilariously funny while probing the serious issue of racism with a fresh approach. It is also fabulously acted, with most of the small cast playing many, many roles, crossing race and gender boundaries. No! Stomping on race and gender boundaries. Go and enjoy this show. Collapse

"Fun Farce, fluffy, but pretty to look at."
Review posted by: Susannah from San Jose, CA, Jan 30, 2009
This show is certainly predictable, and not a brain buster but still a nice effort. The set and costuming is almost worth it alone. Clever stuff if you like old fashioned comedy....
