THE Tony award winning musical, The Secret Garden, has arrived at Crete Street Theatre, Beenleigh.
Beenleigh Theatre Group is excited to present this enthralling and beautiful production from June 27 to July 12.
This haunting musical is based on the classic and much loved story by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
It is story of Mary Lennox, orphaned in India, now abandoned and alone, and sent to England to live with her recluse uncle Archie in his Yorkshire mansion.
Intertwined with this familiar tale is the tragedy of the adult story-line, of Archie’s love for his beautiful, but now dead, wife Lily. Can Mary’s discovery of “the secret garden” transform her, and in doing so, transform all in the Yorkshire house?
Australian audiences were first introduced to The Secret Garden in the mid 90s with the benchmark production starring Anthony Warlow and Marina Prior.
For Beenleigh, the leading roles of Archie and Lily will be played by outstanding Brisbane singers Robert Shearer and Lauren Lee.
Robert is a versatile and gifted performer and he includes Phantom, in The Phantom of the Opera at Redcliffe in 2013, among his many roles. However, it is the talented younger performers that will shine in this production.
The pivotal roles of Mary and Colin will be shared respectively by Chelsea Burton and Laura Seiler, Jayden McGinlay and Oliver Cameron.
Director Roslyn Johnson has embraced the opportunity to bring this contemporary classic to a Queensland stage.
Beenleigh Theatre Group is proud to bring The Secret Garden to the theatre audiences of Brisbane, Logan and Gold Coast.
The Secret Garden will appear at Crete Street Theatre, Beenleigh from June 27 - July 12.
