Jordan-Elbridge theater tends welcoming ‘Garden'

When it comes to Broadway musicals, “The Secret Garden” is not very typical.

While it is meant as a family show, it deals with themes on the darker side of life, like regret and loss, according to Drew Deapo.

“This isn't ‘My Fair Lady,'” said Deapo, who is directing a production of the musical that will run this weekend. “It does deal with some sadness, but it has some great upbeat numbers. That's why I think it would be a great show.”
