BWW Review: Central Florida Debut of DADDY LONG LEGS at Winter Park Playhouse
by Kimberly Moy - November 19, 2017
DADDY LONG LEGS makes its Central Florida debut at Winter Park Playhouse. This charming newish musical is based on a novel by Jean Webster with music and lyrics by Paul Gordon.

Still, I left thinking, I wish I could see this again, because of the music and cast.
