For those of you in Southwestern Ohio, Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park is performing the musical Daddy-Long-Legs from March 13 through April 10. I haven't seen it myself, but I read that it is about an orphanage trustee who offers a college education to an 18-year-old girl on the conditions that she never know who he is and that she write to him every month though he will never respond. Her letters paint a moving picture of her life in the orphanage and capture her blossoming into a young woman. When the two finally do meet in person several years later, they have an instant connection.
The musical is loosely based on a novel by Jean Webster and was made into a Hollywood film with Fred Astaire and Leslie Caron in 1955. The film was nominated for two Academy Awards related to music.
If you're interested in seeing the show, call 513-421-3888 for tickets.
