The Secret GardenMusic and Lyrics by Marsha NormanMusic by Lucy SimonThis enchanting classic of children's literature -- adapted from the 1911 novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett -- is reimagined in brilliant musical style by composer Lucy Simon and writer 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.
