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.

One of the most underrated musical scores of the 90s.

"Lily's Eyes" is, hands down, the best "Secret Garden" number. Gah. So good.

This musical is so underrated and needs so much more recognition

Rest well, Lucy Simon. Thank you for giving us the one of the best musical scores ever.

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.

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.

I could literally listen to 3:00-3:45 all day.

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!!

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.

Hello, my name is Archibald, you have my Lilly's eyes, prepare to garden!

Mandy's voice is beautiful, I could listen to him all day!

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.

Inigo Freaking Montoya sings Lily's Eyes. My life is complete!

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.

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.

That was a great performance clip..but are we not gonna talk about that soulful ass airline commercial at the end? Lmao. Dying.

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.

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

God. I love Mandy Patinkin.

Wow, Mandy's voice is gold.

RIP Rebecca Luker indeed,,,,, such a beautiful talented lady.

R.I.P. Lucy Simon (she passed away in October, a day before her sister)

Ladies and gentlemen, whether you like it or not, HEDWIG!!

Watching musicals or Disney films is about the only way I find easy to connect emotionally.

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.

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! :)

RIP Rebeca. Beautiful angel.

AHHH baby John Cameron Mitchell

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.

The "stay here in the garden" line at 4:26 gets me every time

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'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.

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.

Now, this is how you put together a musical number on the Tonys!

That US Air advertisement at the end, was the most 90’s thing I’ve seen today

Never get tired of this outstanding musical. Just brilliant.

When Gideon takes a break from the behavioral unit to sing on Broadway! This score is beautiful

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.,

I actually saw this when it came to Fort Worth. Mandy Patinkin is such an incredibly singer

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.

I just saw this and Daisy Eagan played Martha! It was so amazing I loved it

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.

Haha, the USAIR advert at the end XD

I saw this in Los Angeles in 1991 with Mandy Patinkin. It was absolutely marvelous gave me chills!

Just saw the revised production tonight at the 5th Avenue Theater in Seattle. Daisy Eagan was in the cast, playing Martha this time

Mandy Patinkin and that voice. I'll love him forever -- or 48,000 miles, whichever comes first!

Man can we please go back 30 years? haha

I have just discovered this and can’t get enough!! ♥️♥️

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!

That USAir commercial at the end is epic.

I regret missing this wonderful Broadway production.

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.

Still brings tears to my eyes! I love this musical so much!! I love every single song in it!

Center Stage in Baltimore last fall, saw it 3 times. My Mom & I each got eachother a key necklace for Christmas!

Mandy Patinkin did musicals Sunday in the park with George.Follies in concert and many others.he isn only theCriminal Minds and Homeland actor.

this really sounds great, this musical earned their tony's

never not crying at this

FETUS JOHN CAMERON MITCHELL

I'm only here for Lily's Eyes... who else

My first Broadway show, I still have the playbill and postcard. :D

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

3:01. I get chills every time.

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.

Thank you whoever posted this!!

Wow, I didn't know Mandy Patinkin could sing! And he's good too!

I'm pretty sure the USAir commercial deserves a Tony

Such an amazing cast!

IT'S CINDERELLA's PRINCE FROM INTO THE WOODS :0

That key change. Wow.

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 just came for the USA Air commercial.

john cameron mitchell...he's got the range. 😍

Love it!!!!One of my all time faves!!!(esp."Lily's Eyes")

John Cameron Mitchell!

Lightening in a bottle, that cast. Lightening in a bottle.

“US Air” is, hands down, the best “Secret Garden” number. Tears. Every time.

WAIT. is that HEDWIG?!

Inigo Montoya and the Eddie Redmayne Prince? I'm pretty sure I'm not watching Sunday in the Park right now...right?

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.

Rebecca Luker sounds amazing!!!

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.

I freaking love the music froM this show especially Lilly’s eyes ahhhh

I love bob westerburg I first saw him as javert in 1991 revevial les miz

The ritardando at 3:02… pure 🔥

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

I can’t believe today I only found out today a lot of movies I love are musicals ahhhhh!!!! 😁

I like when Mary wields Dickon’s stick like she’s freakin’ Gandalf!

Just, wow!

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?

RIP Rebecca Luker

THE AMAZING MANDY PATINKIN!!!!!

Poor Snape.

Okay OMG, I did not know Agent Gideon was a classically trained vocalist?!?!?!?🤯😱🤯👏🏿🔥

Philip Quast and Peter Polycarpou! Not to Take anything away from this moving performance.

Saw it touring company in Baltimore & DC (front row orchastra) Need to bring it back! Love score- all on ipod!

I must say, Mandy Patinkin carried this show.

Ok this is driving me crazy.lol can someone tell me if you hear a woman singing a high E-flat in the last note..i think i hear it, but it could be an overtone or poor sound quality.
