THE SECRET GARDEN Pt. 1

[@warrenmoore4743]

This was one of the most beautiful and graceful shows EVER on the Broadway stage. It's amazing such beauty has been so ignored in Broadway history discourse.

[@edmulterer5984]

I went to see this show in high school with this cast after I heard Fraiser sing "Hold on" to Eagan and cried. Tears still well up every time I watch TSG on KZbin. Rebecca Luker's passing gives me another reason to tear up whenever I watch these clips.

What an absolute tragedy it is that no professionally filmed version of the original Broadway cast was done. It really deserved to have one.

I am in awe. I never thought I would get to see this footage of the original production. Bless you.

[@auroraspiderwoman5886]

Glad you found it and liked it.

[@paulclemens7953]

Ditto and ditto!! Adore this!!

Secret Garden and Sunday in the Park with George are to me the most beautiful scores ever composted for a Broadway musical

[@ninaballerina36]

princepeterwolf are you a Mandy fan as well?

[@CatherineJohnson2484]

Dear individual ...thank you for posting this. I know it's bootlegged and that's illegal. But this was the first Musical I ever saw with my mother, godmother, and sister and it meant so much to us. So being able to relive it is so much of of a gift! THANK YOU!! I just want you to know how much it meant to me to be able to relive a favorite memory. Thank you so much! My 8 year old self is so indebted to you.

[@auroraspiderwoman5886]

So nice to hear this rekindled fond memories for you. But it's not a bootleg; it's the press reel (divided into two parts) that was distributed to press/TV, shot with full permission and acknowledgement by all involved.

Never thought I'd get to see such good-quality footage of the 1991 production. Thank you so much for sharing all these lost treasures with us.

[@bic050753]

Maybe now the powers that be will release this entire production and all Rebecca's other shows on DVD as a tribute to her wonderful voice and life, please. Her spirit should rest in eternal peace.

[@NancysnowJapan]

Yes!

[@luling8126]

Thank you!!! I've been looking for the original cast version for so long!!!

[@ashareeoo]

Thank you so much!!!! Especially for the Lily's Eyes clip. So wonderful!

[@ninaballerina36]

Ashley N isn’t Lily’s Eyes an amazing song. It makes me wish I was a man to get away with singing it 😁

[@roberthofmann8403]

I saw this in 6th grade and fell in love. I had a huge crush on Daisy Eagan. I never knew that Mandy Potamkin portrayed Uncle Archie.

[@ninaballerina36]

Robert Hofmann isn’t Mandy INCREDIBLE!

[@sarahhomrighausen7349]

She was my schoolmate and my best friend's other best friend. It was obviously a BIG year...losing her mom & winning the Tony. Lots of memories. Go Brooklyn!
