Book and Lyrics by Marsha Norman, Music by Lucy Simon Based on the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett The long-awaited new version of the beloved musical is as beautiful and spirited as the original. Adapted by Marsha Norman from her Tony-award winning book, it tells the story of Mary Lennox, orphaned in India, who returns to Yorkshire to live with an embittered, reclusive uncle and his invalid son. On the estate, she discovers a locked garden filled with magic, a boy who talks to birds, and a cousin she brings back to health by putting him to work in the garden. The original chorus of ghosts has been replaced with an ensemble of Readers who sing and take part in the action in a variety of ways.
Directed by Michelle Markwart Deveaux Vocal Direction by Asa Stern
