The Secret Garden

“Exquisite direction by Charles Newell, masterful musical direction by Doug Peck, and a bravura ensemble… Nothing short of a masterpiece.” -Hedy Weiss, Sun-Times

After a vicious cholera outbreak in the British Raj claims the lives of both her parents, ten year-old Mary Lennox is sent back to England to live at her estranged uncleís estate. Orphaned and alone, Mary finds herself haunted not only by the ghosts of her own past, but by those of her melancholy uncle, Archibald Craven. As Mary begins to find her way through her uncleís maze of secrets, she makes an incredible discovery that unlocks a wellspring of hope and renewal for them both.

Winner of the Tony Award for Best Book and adapted from the beloved 1911 novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden reunites Artistic Director Charles Newell and Music Director Doug Peck (Porgy and Bess) for this exquisitely beautiful musical about hope blooming from the darkest of places.
