Hi all:

I was wondering if anyone knew about the music for Secret Garden. In particular, does the Dr. Craven charatcter sing anything else but "Lilly's Eyes"? Also, how high does he sing?

Thanks!

Dr. Craven sings in two of my favorite songs from the show. The first is "Lily's Eyes", which you already mentioned. He also sings in the "Quartet", with Lily, Rose (Ghosts), and Archibald. He has the best part in that song. I'm not sure exactly how high he sings. If I had to guess (based on singing the songs myself) I'd say he sing up to an F or a G. Just a guess.

I just did this show in school last year, and almost got Dr. Craven, but ended up at Mary's father, but we had a baritone singer take the part, really he is more of a bass and he was fine. It is a fun show, but kinda complex to stage.

I'm a bass/baritone and I played Dr. Craven in two different productions - If I can sing it, its not that high - I usually only sing up to an f or G...so I doubt the notes are any higher than that. (its been a while, so I don't remember exactly) I LOVE that role!
