A BROADWAY MUSICAL HIT FOR THE HOLIDAYS - THE SECRET GARDEN
Winner of 3 Tony Awards
In this enchanting Broadway hit, the delightful novel springs to life in a soaring musical about the healing power of love. This holiday treat weaves mystery, magic, and a melodic score into the quest of an orphaned English girl to revive a once glorious Victorian garden. In the process, she rekindles lost hopes and weary spirits, dispelling the ghosts of a troubled past with an indomitable joy of life. "Elegant, entrancing...The best American musical of the season."
