The Secret Garden - Spring Version, Paperback / softback Book

The Secret Garden - Spring Version Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Based on the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett Characters: 8m, 7f, 1f child, 1m child, Readers (chorus) as many as you want / Unit Set The long-awaited new 70-minute version of the beloved musical is as beautiful and spirited as the original in just half the time.

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 a chorus of Readers, who sit onstage and watch the musical unfold before their eyes, singing in most scenes, and even participating as desired in the storm scene at the end of the first act, and the frolic in the Night Garden.

Lucy Simon's music, some of the most beautiful ever written for Broadway, has made this tale of regeneration a favorite for almost 20 years.

This new "Spring Version" promises to be a treasure for children and adults.
