Daddy Long Legs

TheatreWorks

Avg. Event Rating (5.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

In the must-see event of the year, the composer of TheatreWorks’ triumphant hit Emma joins the Tony Award-winning director of blockbuster Les Misérables to create a glorious new musical romance. Set in turn-of-the-century New England, it is the story of Jerusha Abbott, a talented orphan sent to a prestigious college by an anonymous benefactor she knows only as “Daddy Long Legs.” Revealed through witty, wistful letters, her journey to self-sufficiency, education, and romance chronicles the emergence of a delightfully independent American woman. Co-World Premiere with Rubicon Theatre Company

    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
