This enchanting literary classic is reimagined in this brilliant musical that won 3 Tony® Awards on Broadway. The story follows 11 year-old Mary Lennox (Jasmine Harrick), orphaned in India, as she returns to Yorkshire to live with her embittered, reclusive Uncle Archibald (Stephen Leigh Jones) and his invalid son, Colin (Cymbeline Coates Brody). The estate’s many wonders include a magic garden which beckons the children with haunting melodies and the “Dreamers,” spirits from Mary’s past, who guide her through her new life, dramatizing The Secret Garden’s compelling tale.
The show was studded with an incredible number of fantastic voices. Sara Henley-Hicks as Lily was able to match the extremely talented Stephen Leigh Jones' strong operatic voice. Two particular highlights of the show was the duet Lily's Eyes between Archibald (Stephen Leigh Jones) and his brother Neville (Eric Emans) and the quartet between Archibald, Neville, Lily and Rose (Monica Trantow).
The Secret Garden is based on the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Book & Lyrics by Marsha Norman, Music by Lucy Simon.
