The Secret Garden – The Musical

Directed by John Doyle
Book and Lyrics by Marsha Norman
Music by Lucy Simon

Based on Frances Hodgson Burnett’s beloved classic, The Secret Garden is a new revival of the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical – with a captivating score by composer Lucy Simon and book and lyrics by Marsha Norman.

North Yorkshire, 1906

Newly orphaned, Mary Lennox is sent to the moors to live with her widower uncle. Arriving at the secluded Misselthwaite Manor, Mary finds the house inhabited by memories and spirits from the past.

When she discovers her Aunt Lily’s mysterious neglected garden, Mary is determined to breathe new life into it. With the help of her new friends, she learns the power of connection and the restorative magic of nature.

Directed by Tony Award-winner John Doyle and brought to life by a cast of actor-musicians, this is a moving and timeless story of love, loss, healing and hope.

Age guidance: 10+
