The Secret Garden

Arden Theatre
40 N. 2nd Street Philadelphia

While it's no great shock that Mary, the heroine of The Secret Garden, should stumble upon a ... secret ... garden, audiences are often surprised by how deftly this Tony-winning musical leads them to their own little pockets of hidden memories and tender feelings. Follow the orphaned Mary as she travels to live with her grieving uncle and his sickly son in a lonely old house on a windswept moor. Soon she discovers the locked garden and the startling secrets it represents. With the help of her friend and cousin, the little girl brings new life to both the garden and her uncle. Written by Pulitzer winner Marsha Norman (The Color Purple) with music by Lucy Simon (Doctor Zhivago), this lush musical delivers a magical theatrical experience at the Arden Theatre.
