I'm doing a music theatre project and while I still haven't decked out the books much, there doesn't seem to be much info on Lucy Simon, who wrote the score to the beautiful THE SECRET GARDEN. Does anyone have any info on her and maybe as to what happened to her or any works after the SECRET GARDEN?

Is she working on anything?

I'm not sure about specifics, or if this is even true, but take it as you will.

Apparently her experience writing the Secret Garden was a bad one for her, as she became fed up with the business known as show, and that it wasn't worth writing another show because of the drama that went on behind the scenes.

If someone knows better or more than I do, please correct me, or back me up with more specifics as I really don't know anything more than what I said.

I really do wish she would compose some more as her talent is extraordinary.

She wrote the music for Zhivago at the La Jolla Playhouse in 2006. It was supposed to come to Broadway, but that fell through after the reviews came out.
