City Circle Theatre Company Presents THE SECRET GARDEN IN CONCERT

City Circle Theatre Company presents The Secret Garden - In Concert February 10, 11, & 12, 2023 at the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts.

A mysterious Yorkshire estate turns into a place of wonder for a young orphan when she is sent to live with her reclusive uncle. This Tony award-winning musical will captivate audiences as Mary discovers the magic that awaits her and her new friends in the enchanting Secret Garden. The show is based on the classic tale by Frances Hodgson Burnett, with award-winning music by Lucy Simon and lyrics by Marsha Norman.

The cast of 24 performers hails from all around the Corridor and includes newcomers to City Circle as well as familiar faces.

Krista Neumann directs the show and is excited to bring this production to life.

"I was interested in directing a concert version of a musical because it presents a creative challenge that is different in some ways from doing a fully-staged show. It requires really focusing on the music and the storytelling. And my, oh my, wait until you hear the music. It is sublime!" Neumann says.

Audiences may be familiar with songs from the show without realizing they are from The Secret Garden, such as "A Bit of Earth," "How Could I Ever Know," and "Lily's Eyes."

"This is probably the most underrated musical from the early 90s Broadway period. There will be some "Eureka!" moments when the people hear a song in the show and say, 'Oh, that's where this is from!'" says Kent Keating, Music Director.

The Secret Garden - In Concert runs for one weekend only, February 10-12, 2023 at the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts.



Review: 1776 at Des Moines Performing Arts Photo
In March 0f 2020, Des Moines Performing Arts announced it was bringing the musical '1776' as part of its 2020/2021 Broadway Series. At the time, the production was billed as a pre-Broadway run. What we didn't know at the time was that it would be almost three years before the show was finally able to make it to Des Moines. Going into the opening night performance, I hoped the production would be worth the wait, but I wasn't prepared for the fantastic production I saw on stage.

Review: RUMORS at Carousel Theatre Of Indianola Photo
What did our critic think of RUHave you heard what's going on in Indianola? Not only has Carousel announced their new season, more on that at the end of this review, but they opened their latest production to a sold-out audience on March 10. The show that had a sold-out opening night is Neil Simon's 'Rumors.' If the laughter from the sold-out audience on opening night is any indication, then this is the perfect show to lift the audience out of the wintertime blues as we head into spring.MORS at Carousel Theatre Of Indianola?

Review: THE HUNDRED DRESSES at Kate Goldman Childrens Theatre Photo
Our words are powerful; they can tear people down and quickly build people up. This is a lesson that kids of all ages, at times, need to be reminded of. This last weekend, Des Moines Playhouse opened 'The Hundred Dresses' as part of the Kate Goldman Children's Series. This production envelops the entire audience in more ways than one.
