I've been fortunate enough to appear in two different regional productions of The Secret Garden and I think it's one of the most hauntingly beautiful shows ever written.

And the haunting aspect that the composers add to the show makes the lovely piece of literature come to life in an even lovlier way!

I've done the show twice as well. Unfortunately, for me, it's lessened with familiarity. Too many holes, too random a tone, too many scenes that don't do anything. The good parts are undercut by pointless and clumsy book writing.

OK, BG2, we're all dying to know---how was Mercutio's performance in Les Miz??

My favorite memory of Secret Garden is a production of it I saw where the entire backdrop collapsed on the two gentlemen singing "Lily's Eyes." It was wickedly funny. :)

And on the subject of *cough*bootlegs...I am sure that none of the good honest people here on this board, myself included, would EVER listen to bootlegs. Only criminals and degenerates indulge in such illegal behavior. That said, I'm currently listening to "And Eve was Weak" from Carrie on my IPOD.:) God bless the b-leg!

Lorings,
Mercutio has a VERY good voice. It definately sounds a lot more developed than you'd expect someone has age to be.

I want to hear. PM me too, please. Catherine will love you forever if you do.

Definitely Broadway. London is not bad but cannot compete with Broadway. Quast's Archie is good, but Patinkin is good too. Westenberg's Neville is my favorite. London's Dickon is 10% good as Cameron Mitchell.
