Hi!
Does anyone knows where can I find photos from the Broadway and RSC productions of THE SECRET GARDEN. As always I googled and the results were as always NOT from the Broadwy version.
Thnks
This Mandy Patinkin site has a lot of OBC pics

If you search the forbidden site, there's a set of videos that E! did about the national tour that has some great shots of what the stage looked like. Not OBC, but close.
There are some good RSC production photos on this Philip Quast site.
The only catch is that the pics are "members only" and you have to enter a username and password to see them. However, the username is "philip" and the password is "quast"...and it will give you this info on the F.A.Q. page.

Threadjack; I love how Thnks is an abreviaion for Thanks.....are you really saving that much time by leaving out the A?
The second to last picture on Mandy Patinkin's site is eerily similar to the opening scene of Ragtime.

Thanks for the video heads up! What a great little store of video footage. That ayah singing at the beginning of "Race You to the Top of the Morning" is Audra McDonald, by the by.

Wow...is it just me or is Craig Parnell not only way to old to be Dickon, but kinda creepy looking to?
Im sure there's sth on linzihateley.co.uk !
Nice photos. I would love to see this brought back with a stellar cast and mah-va-los sets. Oh! and dynamic director to make it soar. It's a beautiful piece, imo.

It's a wonderful show, but as anyone who has seen it regionally knows, incredibly difficult to make wonderful. It can very easily become angsty, long and boring, but when a production hits the mark, it is insanely moving and wonderful wonderful wonderful. BEAUTIFUL score. Why isn't Lucy Simon still wriitng for the theatre again?
Arent they readying her Dr. Zhivago as we speak?
Great score, and she is missed...come back, Lucy!
The forbidden site doesn't have that E! special about "Garden" any more. Though it does have the medley from it that was done on the Tony Awards.
This is one of my favorite shows. When I was creating the Broadway Bear of Rebecca Luker as Lily Craven, researching the original costumes was very difficult because there isn't much left. I had to recruit the assistance of Becca herself, as well as Joan Marcus, who photographed the original broadway cast back in 1991.
