Daddy Long Legs at Ocala Civic Theatre

Sincerely yours Rated G Raised in a New England orphanage, Jerusha Abbott has just come of age. She laments her lonely life until she learns that a mysterious benefactor, intrigued by her essays, is sending her to college. The conditions: She must become a writer, and she must write letters to him – which he will never answer. All she knows of this shy philanthropist is his tall, long-legged shadow she once glimpsed. Based on the 1955 film with Fred Astaire and Leslie Caron, this clever two-person musical reveals the secret of happiness. Music and Lyrics by Paul Gordon Book by John Caird Based on the novel by Jean Webster
