- I uploaded this and the Will Rogers Follies clip from the 1991 Tony Awards because I coincidentally had seen both on Broadway shortly before this. Bought the tickets at TKTS at the World Trade Center location. We had no problem getting tickets because the shows had just opened. I recorded the Tonys on my VCR and found the tape over a decade later.

One of the most underrated musical scores of the 90s.
Preach it.
Thank goodness it's being revived next year!
And one of the most difficult. Good Lord, it's hard.
One of the very best scores of the past 30 years.
@@babserella2778 Amen.
RIP Lily. Rebecca Luker was brilliant in this role. I'm honored to share an alma mater with her as looked up to her for so many years. Rest well.
Oh no, what happened?
"Lily's Eyes" is, hands down, the best "Secret Garden" number. Gah. So good.
Victoria Strong I couldn’t agree with you more ahhh
Agreed whereas "How Could I Ever Know" would leave *ANYONE* in tears (ala me this afternoon after I'd heard the sad news about Rebecca.it took listening to it 2 times before I could listen to the *WHOLE* song *WITHOUT* shedding tears.
Lord I know that, I actually played Archibald in my schools production
Agreed, I would also like to include, “I heard someone crying”.
Or the quartet, between Lily and Rose and the men.
Rest well, Lucy Simon. Thank you for giving us the one of the best musical scores ever.
This musical is so underrated and needs so much more recognition
or a revival
The minute Robert and Mandy started singing “Lily’s Eyes” during this Tonys show I was smitten, and bought the entire soundtrack for that song alone.
Listen to the guys from “welsh of the west end” sing Lilly’s Eyes. It’s on RUclips also.
I saw this production. Was in one of the first few rows. Mandy Patinkin spat all over me during this song. Thanks for the memories. I think.
It's gross and yet I'm so jealous at the same time. Would love to know what you think of my Lily performance on my channel :)
MANDY PATINKIN was the original Archibald?!? I had NO idea! My mind is officially blown. I've listened to this soundtrack for years and years and had no idea that my favorite actor was singing to me... BAH!!
Kelsey Jean I know it’s been 4 years since you posted this but when I saw it I was like WHAT?!
I KNEW IT! I heard his voice and thought of him!
@@DaToyGamer I know it's been 7 years since you posted this but when I saw Mandy Patinkin sing "Over the Rainbow" on Letterman years ago and heard his name and double-checked the DVD case of The Princess Bride I was like WHAT?!
@LaurieSwenson Fast forward to now, and I just did the same thing!! 😂I heard him sing Over the Rainbow on Letterman just by chance from a fb reel and was like... wait..I KNOW THIS VOICE!! WHAAA?!!! 😅❤ I'm so glad I'm not the only one! 😅
@kelseyjean4042 EXACTLY!!! 😂❤
I could literally listen to 3:00-3:45 all day.
This is such an amazing musical. I've played in orchestra pits for about 40 years, all local productions here and there, wherever I have lived and this one, and this one has affected me more than any others. Every night during the performance, more than half of the pit was weepy during "How Could I Ever Know," and these are really cynical orchestra pit folks. I can't imagine why there has never been a movie version of the musical.
I love this. Thanks for sharing and providing your perspective. I saw Rebecca Luker in my first Broadway musical (Phantom.) I followed her to The Secret Garden. How Could I Ever Know is also my favorite song from the musical.
I was about 12 when The Secret Garden came here and I remember how much I loved the music, but the singing, especially Mandy's, was emotional to hear. I still get the chills when I hear him sing
Inigo Freaking Montoya sings Lily's Eyes. My life is complete!
I agree!!!(Miss him on Criminal Minds though...)
I LOVE Mandy Patinkin
Hello, my name is Archibald, you have my Lilly's eyes, prepare to garden!
Patinkin is a legend!
😂😂😂😂
OMG lol 😂😂😂
Mandy's voice is beautiful, I could listen to him all day!
Omg...
The singing was amazing!!!!
But I didn't realize Julie Andrews was the host of this Tony's, are you kidding me?!
One of my favorite versions of this song. It's so incredible.
How I wish they had caught the brilliance of this cast on film! :( Mandy Patankin's voice makes my heart melt. It is wonderful. And the key change is just... breathtaking.
I watched the Tonys this year because I knew Julie was hosting. I fell in love with The Secret Garden and next thing I knew I was going to NYC to see the show. I was a young soprano at this time, 13. Julie Andrews had been my idol, but hearing Rebecca sing pushed me even deeper into lessons.
i have loved this song for fifteen plus years and never had a clue mandy patinkin was the one singing. wow. such a beautiful voice. go mr. inigo montoya.
RIP Rebecca Luker indeed,,,,, such a beautiful talented lady.
I remember seeing this at the Kennedy Center when it toured in 1991. God I was in love with it. And I sang “How could I ever know” for my college audition for Into the Woods and landed Cinderella
Wow, Mandy's voice is gold.
He's an icon
Watching musicals or Disney films is about the only way I find easy to connect emotionally.
God. I love Mandy Patinkin.
so cool to see Mandy in HOMELAND! :)
Me too. 😍
That was a great performance clip..but are we not gonna talk about that soulful ass airline commercial at the end? Lmao. Dying.
LOL
Omg I’m dying lol
😂😂😂😂😂
Ladies and gentlemen, whether you like it or not, HEDWIG!!
RIP Rebeca. Beautiful angel.
AHHH baby John Cameron Mitchell
I was born in 1984. Went to my 1st Broadway show in New York, on Broadway, when I was 8 or almost 9 years old. It was Phantom. Then Secret Garden, then Les Mis, then Phantom again. Then South Pacific. I grew up listening in my big bird taped nighttime friend, from the 1980s, listening to Mozart’s magic flute, or Vivaldi’s Ring of Mystery. I love being exposed to musicals at an early age. I can’t carry a tune in a bucket, but I can appreciate them. And the Secret Garden original Broadway cast, is my absolute fing favorite original Broadway soundtrack. Ever. Mandy Patinkin, Daisy Eagan, etc. 100%. And I have a first edition book of the secret garden. And my favorite movie adaptation is a 1993 version.
One of the best musicals of all time.
From husband DANNY BURSTEIN:
“This is a text I just got from Jessica Molaskey.
Thanks, Jess. It means the world to me. “
“There are no words. Only love right now for you and your family and our dear theater family. I don’t remember seeing the whole
Broadway community so gutted by a loss. Not ever. I guess because Becca seemed so other worldly, so born of a place that mere mortals only dream of. So full of light and genius. Yes genius when she opened her mouth. The music and love that poured out of her shining soul shall live forever. In a different time we would all gather on this Christmas Eve and hug you and drink something and sit shiva for your “shiska goddess” and remember stories. I can think of a story about 26 years ago when a troupe of actors went out to dinner in Southern California. We were a large loud table tucked in a corner of a restaurant. Someone, maybe it was our dear George, threw down the gauntlet to tell the dirtiest joke. I might have known one safe one. The winner of the evening was Becca who told joke after filthy joke until our stomachs hurt from laughing so hard. The jokes were somehow funnier coming out of that angelic human. I think she knew it.
The bottom line is we were better for knowing her. I guess that’s the whole point of this mysterious life. Leaving the joint a better place than before you got there. She sure did that. I know you have battalions of wonderful souls who love you. Just want to let you know that if you ever need a shoulder I’m here day or night. Who sleeps these days anyway. I love you.
Xoxoxo Molaskey.
I was privileged to see & hear “Ms. Luker’s angelic voice” as Lily in THE SECRET GARDEN at the Saint James Theatre in 1991 & as Maria Von Trapp in the 1998 revival of THE SOUND OF MUSIC at the Martin Beck Theatre in NYC.
When I said earlier that we lost a lot of people this year...we indeed lost a LOT. We also recently lost NICK CORDERO (Bullets Over Broadway), MARIN MAZZIE (Kiss Me Kate, Passion, Ragtime) and ANNE REINKING (All That Jazz, Annie, Fosse). Broadway just got darker. R.I.P. to ALL WE LOST THIS YEAR.
I shed a tear for those who left us. So gutted...and destroyed watching Ms. Luker perform, proving once again the LOSS we have is great and irreplaceable. Ugh. 2020 can’t get over any sooner for me. It’s just too much....TOO MUCH.
Sing it Saul! Came here originally to see a young John Cameron Mitchell, but had no idea that Mandy was in the original broadway cast too! Fantastic singing by both of them! :)
I'll never not love this musical. It's right up there with "Wicked" for the Most Times I've Burst Into Tears Whilst Watching a Broadway Musical. I loved the music from the first time I heard the opening arpeggios; knowing that Inigo Montoya was playing Archie just bumped it into the stratosphere. I've seen several productions with varying budgets and cast -- and I think the best community theatre production I saw was in c. 1997 or 1998. The distinction? It starred a pre-celebrity Amanda Bynes as Mary (I think she was about nine) and Jenna Green (who went on to play Libby on Sabrina the Teenaged Witch and Nessa Rose in Wicked) played Martha. I ended up going back three times to see it (cuz I loved it and I was friends with the Bynes family at the time). (So basically, when I see she's in trouble again, it makes me sad beyond belief. But I digress....)
There's not a bad number in this show. A half-dozen of the songs have the potential to turn you into a blubbering pile of feels. If you're not choked up in the last 30 seconds, you MIGHT not have a soul. Just sayin.
babserella2778 good lord this play (original cast) blows Wicked out of the water. IMO of course :)
Hold On was my inspirational lyric for years. Now that my wife's passed on, I can't listen to Lily's Eyes without thinking of her and blubbering....
When Gideon takes a break from the behavioral unit to sing on Broadway! This score is beautiful
Never get tired of this outstanding musical. Just brilliant.
The "stay here in the garden" line at 4:26 gets me every time
Mandy Patinkin and that voice. I'll love him forever -- or 48,000 miles, whichever comes first!
That US Air advertisement at the end, was the most 90’s thing I’ve seen today
Now, this is how you put together a musical number on the Tonys!
I just saw this and Daisy Eagan played Martha! It was so amazing I loved it
So wonderful to see these scenes again. I took my daughter to see this in '91 and it's still one of my favorite shows. Outstanding cast and music.
The fact that this play was never recorded (original cast) on a VHS tape at the time, and now 20 plus years after, Tony Awarded play still is not on DVD is beyond me!
I saw the play on Broadway and again in San Jose. I know the Broadway was original cast (I even have a souvenir brass key chain that looks like a theater ticket, and the program of the play.
I HAD that keychain!! This was my first B'Way show, original cast. Such memories
Right? I mean it seems like they have clips from the whole show right here! Oh well some things aren't meant to be.
I saw a touring company many, many years ago in Lansing, MI. I was in tears by the end. Such a wonderful production!!
They were originally planning to record the first national tour (which I saw in San Francisco, and which featured a very young Audra McDonald in a minor role) to be broadcast on PBS, but the financing fell through so it was never done. The tour cast was almost as good as the original broadway cast ( but no one can live up to the originals) and they used the same sets, so it was the closest we came.
So, one of the best musicals (in my op) was never recorded except a low res version maybe filmed by an audience member, and snippets recreated for the Emmy awards.
So.. Sad!!
I actually saw this when it came to Fort Worth. Mandy Patinkin is such an incredibly singer
No matter who sings these songs it is beautiful. I saw three productions of the Secret Garden. Twice in Chicago and once in Atlanta, Georgia.,
Would love you to check out my performance of How Could I ever know on my channel :)
Thank you for posting this! The Secret Garden was the first musical I ever saw on Broadway back in 1991 and still fondly remember the experience from seeing the lights and billboards outside, entering the theater, walking up to mezz level, seeing the show, and later getting autographs from the actors! My favorite song from the show was "Wick", sung by John Cameron Mitchell.
I saw this in Los Angeles in 1991 with Mandy Patinkin. It was absolutely marvelous gave me chills!
R.I.P. Lucy Simon (she passed away in October, a day before her sister)
Been doing musical theatre my whole life and this was the first musical I ever saw at 5 years old. This old school clip reminds me of that day I fell in love with musical theatre! This is still one of my all time favourites.. when are they going to make a musical movie version?! I think this could be adapted for screen in amazing way.
So very fortunate to have seen this on Broadway twice with the original cast. So very special, so very beautiful! Loved all of it - music, lyrics, sets, costumes, cast - all excellent. If people spurned this musical thinking it was a children's show, it's their sad, great loss!
I regret missing this wonderful Broadway production.
I have just discovered this and can’t get enough!! ♥️♥️
Haha, the USAIR advert at the end XD
Man can we please go back 30 years? haha
That USAir commercial at the end is epic.
Still brings tears to my eyes! I love this musical so much!! I love every single song in it!
Such a great show. I had the pleasure of seeing Rebecca in the national tour. The memory of that night will be in my heart for a long time.
FETUS JOHN CAMERON MITCHELL
I'm only here for Lily's Eyes... who else
this really sounds great, this musical earned their tony's
Just saw the revised production tonight at the 5th Avenue Theater in Seattle. Daisy Eagan was in the cast, playing Martha this time
Thanks for the update on Daisy Eagan!
3:01. I get chills every time.
never not crying at this
Center Stage in Baltimore last fall, saw it 3 times. My Mom & I each got eachother a key necklace for Christmas!
Such an amazing cast!
3:01-3:40 - - Gosh that left me breathless!!!
Saw this in San Jose, CA with my mom. Fabulous, romantic, loving, wonderful show. Thanks for posting.
Mandy Patinkin did musicals Sunday in the park with George.Follies in concert and many others.he isn only theCriminal Minds and Homeland actor.
Wow, I didn't know Mandy Patinkin could sing! And he's good too!
Manda B
Really? Cool!
He's amazing. Check out "Sunday in the Park With George." He's considered one of the best singers Broadway ever produced.
Deborah, I understand how that's possible, but considering Sarah B is right, that's like saying, Wow, I didn't know OJ Simpson played football! (Or Bruce Jenner was in the Olympics...) You're absolutely forgiven, though - he's carved a nice little TV drama career out for himself.
@@SarahB1863 not to mention being the original Che in Evita!
That key change. Wow.
john cameron mitchell...he's got the range. 😍
My first Broadway show, I still have the playbill and postcard. :D
“US Air” is, hands down, the best “Secret Garden” number. Tears. Every time.
I just came for the USA Air commercial.
John Cameron Mitchell!
I'm pretty sure the USAir commercial deserves a Tony
LOL!!!
there should be more secret garden videos but im biased because this is my favorite show ever and i want rebecca luker's range and mandy patinkin's part and daisy eagan's accent and
IT'S CINDERELLA's PRINCE FROM INTO THE WOODS :0
FloraTheExplorer that literally just clicked for me too!
FloraTheExplorer what do u mean?
@@riley2235 Robert Westenburg played both the Wolf and one of the princes in the original cast of Into The Woods. Then he and his princess, Kim Fields, got married IRL and settled down in the midwest to teach theatre in a small college.
Gordon P Smith he also plays the soldier in Sunday In The Park With George.
@@gordonpsmith8958 He married Kim Crosby. Kim Fields was Tootie in The Facts of Life
Lightening in a bottle, that cast. Lightening in a bottle.
Thank you whoever posted this!!
Love it!!!!One of my all time faves!!!(esp."Lily's Eyes")
Words can't describe what a tragedy it is that we don't have a professionally filmed version of this musical list we do with "Into the Woods" and "Hamilton." What a cast! It's very sad that the only preserved copy of their performances is some shaky bootlegs.
Rebecca Luker sounds amazing!!!
I freaking love the music froM this show especially Lilly’s eyes ahhhh
THE AMAZING MANDY PATINKIN!!!!!
I love bob westerburg I first saw him as javert in 1991 revevial les miz
I like when Mary wields Dickon’s stick like she’s freakin’ Gandalf!
RIP Rebecca Luker
Oh, thank you so much for this! Yours is the best copy available, I'm going to promote it on YT as heavily as possible.
Thank you once again for uploading this here :)
I can’t believe today I only found out today a lot of movies I love are musicals ahhhhh!!!! 😁
The ritardando at 3:02… pure 🔥
Just, wow!
I totally agree. Would love to know what you think of my performance of Lily on my channel.:)
WAIT. is that HEDWIG?!
+ShirtlessRex Indeed it Is.
+ShirtlessRex I KNOW RIGHT?!?!?! John Cameron Mitchell is fantastic. There's nothing he can't do. He was about 26, in this.
Okay so last week while I was packing up my house I listened to both west end and broadway recordings cos I love them both, but everytime those strings around 2:37 give me chills, even now
Poor Snape.
this lost out to the 'The Will Rogers Follies' (which won Best Musical) at the Tony's - booooo. Washington DC's Shakespeare Theater is doing this in December - can not wait - this is my fave musical.
Jonathan Goeldner This or Saigon should have won. Good choice having Daisy be nominated for featured actress though, since Lea's performance was unbeatable.
tomgallowitz What about Once On This Island that show is absolutely beautiful
Sodapop246 8 Never saw it or heard it, could have put up good competition but Saigon is a masterpiece and Lachanze would had no chance against Lea Salonga.
tomgallowitz Saigon is amazing but defiantly look into Once on this Island the music is gorgeous and Lea Salonga is amazing but so is Lachanze in my opinion she was robbed of the tony
Sodapop246 8 Will look into it, but Lea is hard act to beat, so might be hard for to me to see anyone but her winning and actually Lachanze lost to Daisy Eagan in featured actress
Inigo Montoya and the Eddie Redmayne Prince? I'm pretty sure I'm not watching Sunday in the Park right now...right?
I must say, Mandy Patinkin carried this show.
Philip Quast and Peter Polycarpou! Not to Take anything away from this moving performance.
and Will Chase and Stephen Pasquale - and Ramin Karimloo and Cheyenne Jackson! Just a great song all around!
I saw this in 1991 also -- one of my all time favorite musicals. If you go to the Library of Performing Arts at Lincoln Center they should have a full recording of the show, right?
+Theresa Turner if you ever find it; I would love to get one too
Okay OMG, I did not know Agent Gideon was a classically trained vocalist?!?!?!?🤯😱🤯👏🏿🔥
Saw it touring company in Baltimore & DC (front row orchastra) Need to bring it back! Love score- all on ipod!
❤
