"Fountain Hills Theater's production of The Secret Garden is a deeply emotional experience, made all the more effective by the intimacy of the performance space and the glorious singing voices of the cast. The closeness between performers and audience allows every emotion-filled lyric and soaring musical phrase to land with a heightened impact. The excellent cast draws you into the story's world of loss, healing, and quiet transformation, delivering a heartfelt presentation of this moving musical....The entire Fountain Hills cast bring warmth and nuance to their characters. Charlotte "Cha Cha" Giffen beautifully portrays Mary with a compelling transformation from grumpy defiant girl to someone who has genuine compassion for those around her. Her line delivery is assured and her singing bright in this captivating depiction of the beloved character. Chad Millar delivers a rich portrayal of the haunted and restrained Archibald Craven, yet there is also a charm that peeks out from underneath his harsh exterior that lets us see the loving man he once was. As the ghost of Archibald's wife Lily, Lacey Dixon is luminous and expressive with a warm singing voice." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
