DADDY LONGLEGS

Music and Lyrics by Paul Gordon

Book by John Caird

DADDY LONG LEGS tells the heartwarming story of Jerusha Abbott, the "Oldest Orphan in the John Grier Home,”  as she receives an unexpected opportunity to attend college thanks to a mysterious benefactor and embarks on an extraordinary adventure that will change her life forever.

The catch? Jerusha must correspond with her unnamed benefactor through monthly letters without any expectation of a response.  In a whimsical twist based on the only characteristic she glimpsed, she invents a persona for him – Daddy Long Legs. However, an unforeseen revelation awaits her, promising to add an extra layer of intrigue to her already captivating journey.

This charming 2-person show is double cast with four of Theatre 29's most endearing and beloved actors, offering audiences double the opportunity to experience the magic of "Daddy Long Legs." Eliana Hicks and Liyan McNeltier bring their talents to the role of Jerusha Abbott, while Graham Cooley and Jericho McNeltier take on the character of Jervis Pendleton.

Specific performance dates for each actor and actress pair will be announced shortly.  The seamless blend of each of their performances promises to bring the characters to life with soaring melodies and heartfelt emotions, in two very unique ways!
