Daddy Long Legs, Starring Megan McGinnis, Sets Off-Broadway Closing Date

After 309 performances at the Davenport Theatre, Daddy Long Legs will play its final off-Broadway performance on June 6. The production, starring Megan McGinnis and her husband Adam Halpin, opened on September 28, 2015, and recently received a Drama Desk nod for Outstanding Musical

Daddy Long Legs tells the tale of Jerusha Abbott (McGinnis), the oldest orphan in the John Grier Home. One day, a rich, anonymous benefactor (Halpin) decides to send her to college, but she must write him a letter once a month. Unaware of his identity, she invents a nickname for him: Daddy Long Legs. Through her letters, Jerusha shares her experiences of college while discovering her own identity and reveling in the wonders of literature, adventure and love. But one key fact eludes her—who is is Daddy Long Legs?

Directed by John Caird, the tuner, based on the 1912 novel by Jean Webster, features music and lyrics by Paul Gordon and a book by Caird. Plans for a national tour are in the works.
