Okay, this full score matches the rental. and the three reeds are Fl/Picc, Ob/E.Hn, Bb/Bs Clar. - throughout, looks like.

But interestingly, no nod to acoustic bass. It's specified electric, and is on the score between the percussion and keyboards.

I'm almost positive Mandy wasn't in it when I saw it, but I can't find my program.

Interesting links. The B'way set looks spare, too, until the end, but isn't plagued by a dreary look or a big S in the middle of the stage taking up way too much room. In the LA production, Lily is dressed all in white like a ghost, instead of that gorgeous dress Luker is wearing. The door to the garden is upstage, which is perfect - her it's downstage and when she opens it she's looking at the audience. Eh. Mandy's round shoulder is very subtle in the costume, but he's acting it with posture and semi-limp. The Seattle looks more opulent to me.

I don't know if she played DEAR WORLD or not. I'll ask Joshie.

Those original costumes for Lily and Rose on Broadway were knockouts. The LA ones look drab by comparison.

The original Broadway production had some glorious things about it, but the nitwit director, the self-important Ms S, seemed more concerned to show audiences how many Sondheim shows she had directed, and there were times when all those ghosts running about looked like a revival of FOLLIES. The opening of Act Two had everyone dressed in white, and my first reaction was welcome to A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, Act Two!

The ghosts in LA are also ludicrous, really.

I haven’t listened to The Secret Garden, either musical version, in years. I shall have to haul them out.

Wasn’t Audra in the chorus of the original?

She was definitely in the national tour with several of my friends.

I remember finding my program years ago, and realized that Amanda Naughton (who went on to Rupert Holmes' Remember WENN) and Roger Bart were in the tour that I saw in Seattle! :)

Happy Sunday to one and all an Happy Mother's Day to those who celebrate!  There's a new Broadway Radio Show up for your listening enjoyment.  Author Thomas Hischak is back to chat about his new book The Abbott Touch, which traces the VERY LONG career of George Abbott, who wrote and/or directed some of Broadway's greatest shows -- both plays and musicals.  Check it out:

There was a 2017 Seattle production of The Secret Garden that is on YouTube. It's quite beautiful.

I saw that with my sister!

George, do you have a selection of wines or just one red and one white?  Or maybe you avoid red as it stains if spilled.

We have these choices for alcohol:

Curious if anyone has ever used the peanut butter powder. It's supposed to have less fat, but I don't really know anything about it.

LOL, I didn't know there was a peanut butter powder.

I've had some in the past.  I liked it.  I did have to find uses for it because it wasn't something that I normally used.
