Daddy Long Legs on stream.theatre.
The award-winning show with music and lyrics by Paul Gordon and a book by John Caird, is based on the classic novel by Jean Webster that inspired the 1955 film starring Fred Astaire. It follows an orphan, Jerusha, as she is aided by a mysterious benefactor.
Directed by Killian Collins and Mark O Looney, with musical direction by David Wray, the piece stars Eoin Cannon (
Angela s Ashes The Musical) and Róisín Sullivan (
A Man of No Importance).
You can watch a performance video from the show here:
The piece will be available on stream.theatre from 8 to 14 March.

But fortunately arts and entertainment go on, despite the pandemic-born challenges, and it’s time to open the mailbag (so to speak) and offer a roundup of area A&E. Daddy Longlegs is back
A few months back, this space focused on Theatre 444’s production of “Daddy Longlegs,” a two-actor musical that was fully staged in mid-November in the Waterloo Library and Historical Society’s Fatzinger Hall, live-streamed for ticket-buyers to watch from home.
