Boulevard Productions has announced a week-long streaming of the Dublin-based company’s version of the award-winning musical Daddy Long Legs in association with Stream.Theatre early next month.
Filmed in the Smock Alley Theatre in Dublin, the production which stars Eoin Cannon and Róisín Sullivan is directed by Killian Collins and Mark O’Looney with musical direction by David Wray.
Commenting on the streaming from 8-14 March 2021, the show’s producer, Boulevard Productions’ founder O’Looney, said: “The Boulevard Productions’ team and I are really looking forward to bringing theatre into the living rooms of homes across the country this March with the Irish premiere production of Daddy Long Legs.
“It’s been an extremely difficult year for the arts and to be able to support and showcase Irish talent via this streaming service with Stream.Theatre is a fantastic way for those who enjoy theatre to continue to do so, while Irish theatre venues remain closed for the foreseeable future.”
Based on the 1912 novel of the same name by Jean Webster, Daddy Long Legs – the Musical has a book by John Caird and music and lyrics by Paul Gordon. A 1955 film version loosely based on the original novel famously featured Fred Astaire and Leslie Caron.
