Based on the much-loved literary classic by Frances Hodgson Burnett, the heart-warming story of The Secret Garden is reimagined in brilliant musical style by composer Lucy Simon (Doctor Zhivago) and the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Marsha Norman.
Young, orphaned Mary Lennox arrives at her uncle’s secluded country home to find a reclusive, long-suffering collection of souls — and the mysterious tale of a secret garden. Together with new-found friends, Mary breathes life into the secret garden. She blossoms too, and through her adventures, tends to all the hearts around her.
The Lambert Jackson concert staging of The Secret Garden is directed by Nick Winston, with musical direction by Adam Hoskins.
