Lily Craven's various physical appearances!Dear "Secret Garden" Fans,
Apart from having those famous "hazel eyes," what does Lily Craven usually look like onstage?
I can't remember what she was supposed to look like in the book "The Secret Garden".
I personally think that the musical's version of Lily might be freckled, but that she'd for certain have hazel eyes and sandy blonde/ brown hair, so that she would seem to remind one of a sunflower.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

In the production I saw, Lily was played by a dear friend of mine, who is extremely skinny, which worked for playing a ghost. Ordinarily, my friend has short black hair (or at least she did; I haven't sen her in a while), but when she played Lily, she wore an auburn wig which was positioned 'up'. It was a very good physical portrayal, which is much less than I can say for the Archibald...

I remember that our Lily was a dark blonde with hazel-brown eyes, and "a sunflower" was actually a good way to describe her.

The Lily I saw had brunette hair, dark eyes, and was fairly chubby (to put it politely).

Our Lily was very slim (our director described her as 'etherial' (sp?) )
She was extremely pretty, hazel eyes obv., and dark ringlets. She's not someone you can particularly describe, she just IS, if that makes sense.
Although she didn't look anythign like Rose who, although she is also dark haired, comes from Iran, does not have ringlets and is quite curvy (still slim, but she looked more solid than Lily)

"Ethereal", perhaps?

I wonder if hazel eyes plays a factor in casting "The Secret Garden..."

I'm sure brown would be fine, but I think that if it came down to a best Lily with blue eyes and the second best with hazel, I'd go with the best. I mean, how many people in the audience will really see her eye color on stage?

True - it would depend on the lighting designer, partially, too.

If the director was really picky then Lily could always wear contacts!
