A Brief Synopsis
This enchanting classic of children's literature is now a brilliant
musical by a Pulitzer Prize winning playwright. Orphaned in India, 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
The Secret Garden's compelling tale of regeneration. This Tony Award
winner is a treasure for children and adults.
