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. [Samuel French]
