Free Music Notes for The Secret Garden (1991 Original Broadway Cast)
Free Music Review: Dark and brooding and filled with hope
Hit: 4 Stars
This play is about pain, loss and most of all, hope for redemption. I was lucky enough to catch a touring cast perform this show locally back in the 90's and was brought to tears by the song "Lily's Eyes" (which is a tough thing to do to an angst-filled teen). Though at the moment you won't catch this show on Broadway or a major tour... if you ever get the opportunity you really should see it.
As far as this CD, and my review of it. This is a very good rendition of the show, it is well mixed and if you have not seen the show you should be able to follow the basics of the story fairly easily. Most of the actors have amazing voices and the songs are performed well. I particularly enjoy the parts of Martha and Dicken. I was not as happy with the Collin on this recording as the one I saw live.. though he still did a wonderful job.
The only thing that I dislike about this particular CD is that some of the songs are almost silly when taken out of the context of the show. If you haven't been building the emotions along with the characters then several of the more touching songs come across as slightly corny. Still, I drive around listening to it with my windows down, forcing those next to me at a red light to listen to "A Bit of Earth" no matter how corny it may seem... because it is art, and beautiful art at that. If you like theater, this CD is a must own.
The Secret Garden (1991 Original Broadway Cast) Poster
Inspired by Frances Hodgson Burnett's novel of the same name, The Secret Garden was set apart from the beginning by the composition of its creative team. Not many Broadway shows can boast a female composer (Lucy Simon), director (Susan H. Schulman), librettist/lyricist (Marsha Norman), and producer/set designer (Heidi Landesman)--not to mention an 11-year old (Daisy Eagan) in the lead. This story of a little girl who helps her grieving uncle and sickly cousin regain a taste for life is a delicate, lovely achievement. Steeped in moody Victoriana, it should enchant those who enjoy a more understated style of musical theater. The great cast includes Mandy Patinkin, Rebecca Luker as his dead wife Lily's ghost, and the perenially underrated Alison Fraser. --Elisabeth VincentelliBroadway & Vocalists Music CDs
