THE SECRET GARDEN
Book and lyrics by Marsha Norman
Music by Lucy Simon
Based on the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett
May 7 - 23, 2010
"High on a hill sits a big old house
with something wrong inside it.
Someone died and someone's left behind
and can't abide it." - The Dreamers
This enchanting classic of children's literature is now a brilliant musical by a Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, Marsha Norman. Orphaned in India, Mary Lennox, an 11-year old girl returns to Yorkshire to live with an embittered, reclusive uncle and his invalid son. The estate includes a magic locked garden. Flashbacks, dream sequences, a strolling chorus of ghosts, and some of the most beautiful music ever written for Broadway dramatize this inspiring story about the restorative powers of love, regeneration and rebirth.
"Elegant, entrancing.... The best American musical of the Broadway season."-- Time.
"A splendid, intelligent musical.... It's all you can hope for in children's theatre. But the best surprise is that this show is the most adult new musical of the season."-- U.S.A. Today.
"A many splendored children's fable that neither cloys or loses grip on its unique spell."-- N.Y. Newsday.
