The Barn Theatre have announced today that they will be releasing an archive recording of their 2019 Built by Barn production of the musical Daddy Long Legs for a limited number of dates over the Valentine’s Day and February half term weekends.
The 2019 Built by Barn production, which stars Ryan Bennett (Jersey Boys) as Jervis Pendleton and Rebecca Jayne-Davies (Half a Sixpence) as Jerusha Abbott, marked the first time that a UK theatre had produced the Drama Desk award-winning musical.

The award-winning musical 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.
The production is directed by Kirstie Davis, with set and costume design by Gregor Donnelly, musical direction by Charlie Ingles, lighting design by Sam Rowcliffe-Tanner, sound design by Harry Smith. The onstage band comprises of Alex Crawford, Rosalind Ford and Charlie Ingles.
The recording has been produced by post-production lead editor Ben Evans and post-production sound designer Harry Smith.
