The Secret Garden

July 12 - July 13

The Secret Garden, a classic of children’s literature, is reimagined in brilliant musical style by composer Lucy Simon and Marsha Norman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of ‘Night Mother.
 
Orphaned in India, 11-year-old Mary Lennox returns to Yorkshire to live with her embittered, reclusive uncle Archibald and his disabled son Colin. The estate’s many wonders include a magic garden which beckons the children with haunting melodies and the “Dreamers,” spirits from Mary’s past who guide her through her new life, dramatizing The Secret Garden’s compelling tale of forgiveness and renewal.
 
The Secret Garden opened on Broadway at the St. James Theatre on April 25, 1991. Directed by Susan H. Schulman, the production won three Tony® Awards of its seven total nominations. The cast featured featured Daisy Eagan, Alison Fraser, Rebecca Luker, John Cameron Mitchell, Mandy Patinkin and Robert Westenberg. The musical played for a total of 709 performances, closing on January 3, 1993.
 
 
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.  – USA Today

A many-splendored children’s fable that neither cloys or loses grip on its unique spell.  – Newsday

Revels in theatrical imagination [and] achieves the irresistible appeal that moves audiences to standing ovations.  – Christian Science Monitor
 
 
 
The Secret Garden is produced through
special arrangement with
Concord Theatricals, New York, NY
