World Premiere
In the must-see event of the year, the composer of TheatreWorks’ triumphant hit Emma joins the Tony Award-winning director of blockbuster Les Misérables to create a glorious new musical romance. Set in turn-of-the-century New England, it is the story of Jerusha Abbott, a talented orphan sent to a prestigious college by an anonymous benefactor she knows only as “Daddy Long Legs.” Revealed through witty, wistful letters, her journey to self-sufficiency, education, and romance chronicles the emergence of a delightfully independent American woman.
Co-World Premiere with Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park and Rubicon Theatre Company
