His only request is that she must never know who he is and that she write to him monthly, though he will never respond. Her letters paint a moving portrait of her life in the orphanage and exhilaration as she blossoms into a young woman, causing him to fall in love with her. A new musical from Paul Gordon, the creator of last season's Emma, and John Caird, the Tony Award-winning co-director of Les Miserables.
