Click here for more information on this production that runs through November 17"Sweet, romantic and charming are just three of the words to describe the warm and winning musical Daddy Long Legs. This two-person show depicts a relationship between a young woman and a man at the turn of the 20th century as they communicate mostly through letters. While the plot is somewhat predictable, it's always interesting and, with a very talented cast and impressive direction and creative aspects, Hale Centre Theatre's production is top notch....As Jerusha, Heidi Liz Johnson beautifully projects the appropriate shades of naiveté one would expect from a sheltered orphan but also exhibits the strength, inquisitiveness and determination of a budding feminist. ...Kade Bailey does a lovely job depicting this conflicted man who tries to tell Jerusha the truth but chickens out, as he has a hard time expressing his feelings. ...Both Johnson and Bailey create believable and realistic characters, and they have excellent singing voices that bring out the humor, emotion and charm in all of their songs....
Director Tim Dietlein does an exceptional job staging the show in Hale's in-the-round venue and derives warm and natural portrayals from his cast...." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
