Project Description:
Based on the book by Frances Hodgson Burnett, "The Secret Garden" is a story of renewal and hope. It takes place in 1906 in Colonial India and Misselthwaite Manor, located in North Yorkshire, England. Its Broadway premiere garnered 3 Tony Awards, including "Best Book". The play calls for a an intimate cast of approximately 35 (adults and children) with excellent vocal skills. The music will be challenging, but will provide ample opportunities for soloists to shine. Included are iconic songs such as, "Lily's Eyes", "Come to my Garden", and "The Girl I Mean to Be".
