Broadway veteran Megan McGinnis is no stranger to the musical Daddy Long Legs. In fact, she originated the role of the character Jerusha at the Rubicon Theatre in 2009, where the musical premiered. These days, however, she is reimagining the show as the director for Theatre Raleigh's production which opens next week. She sat down with me to discuss making her directorial debut, revisiting material that is near and dear to her heart, and what's next. Daddy Long Legs opens at The Kennedy Theatre in Raleigh on May 16th and runs through May 27th. For more information, visit, www.theatreraleigh.com.
