The Secret Garden 2016 Concert Presentation Jan 13 2016, 01:26:38 PM
I saw the show on Monday night and it was amazing!!! I had seen the original back in 1993. Rebecca Luker hasn't lost a thing in her voice in all that time. Incredible. She did almost trip and fall into Archie in Act II, but made a nice little save and didn't miss a beat in her song. I always get goose bumps when she sings. I thought that she might not go for the higher notes, but damned if she didn't do it. ALL the performers were excellent, the orchestra was excellent, the whole damn thing was excellent. My least favorite song is "Lily's Eyes", but Mr. Dean and Mr. Von Essen (a great Woody Mahoney in "Finian's Rainbow" ?format=auto&width=600 really made it something else. There was no scenery in the show, but with music like this, it doesn't detract from the show; in fact, I could argue that it adds to it, and is better without it. Great Stuff!!!
