"...Daddy Long Legs is a prime example of a small, intimate show that is fetching, warm and winning. The Phoenix Theatre Company is using their smaller Hormel Theatre for this production, which allows the intimacy of the show to shine. It features exceptional creative aspects and assured direction, plus two gifted young actors who have appeared on many stages across town, Kathlynn Rodin and James D. Gish. The pair create believable and interesting characters and exhibit excellent singing voices that bring out the emotion, drama, humor and charm in all of their songs...."   -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)

"...This charming musical confection is loaded with sweet songs, witty dialogue, and clever happenstances...The performing pair – Kathlynn Rodin as Jerusha and James D. Gish as Jervis – compliment each other flawlessly.  In individual songs, they bring Paul Gordon’s rich melodies to vibrant life.  In the many duets, the pair soars musically to lovely heights....it is hard to imagine this show has ever been as well produced as in this delightful Phoenix Theatre Company staging..." -Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix (click here to read the complete review)

"...a story that elevates the spirits and ultimately pulls at the heart strings. Now, in the hands of director Robert Kolby Harper, it is sure to be one of the Season's most memorable and beloved hits...This must be so because of the thoroughly charming performances of its two leads. Kathlynn Rodin and James D. Gish radiate with equal parts of charisma and vitality in a story that brims with idealism, optimism, and romance...."  Herbert Paine, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
