It was due to be Anthony Warlow’s return to one of his more iconic theatrical roles, but unfortunately it was never to be. The Gordon Frost Organisation, the producer of the upcoming Australian tour of The Secret Garden have confirmed that their Sydney and Melbourne seasons of the show have been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Those who have purchased tickets are due to receive an email from the official ticketing providers of each state, outlining the steps to obtain a refund.
Sadly as the pandemic continues, this is likely to not be an isolated incident and I would expect more announcements like this around shows in the latter-half of 2020 to be made in the coming weeks and months.
