Daddy Long Legs , a new musical based on the treasured novel by Jean Webster with music and lyrics by Paul Gordon (Jane Eyre), and librettist/director, John Caird (Les Misrables) is a heartwarming Cinderella story about a witty and winsome young woman and her mysterious benefactor. 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 benefactors identity so she invents one for him: Daddy Long Legs. Although she knows that he will never respond to her letters, she grows more and more fond of this elusive and kindly old gentleman. But another relationship soon begins to develop in Jerushas life. Jervis Pendleton is the well-do-do, youngish uncle of one of Jerushas roommates, who introduces her to a world of literature, travel and adventure. Through her correspondence with Daddy Long Legs and her growing intimacy with Jervis, Jerushas 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. This old fashion love story is about finding The Secret Of Happiness in unexpected places. The show runs March 11th Fridays & Saturdays at 7:30 Sundays at 2:00. (Note, there is no performance, Sun March 13th.) Tickets are available now at www.citytheater.org/tickets or 207-282-0849
