The Secret Garden, winner of multiple Tony awards, is an enchanting classic of children’s literature reimagined in brilliant musical style by composer Lucy Simon and Marsha Norman. Orphaned in India, Mary Lennox returns to Yorkshire to live with her reclusive uncle Archibald and his disabled son Colin. The estate’s many wonders include a magic garden which beckons the children with haunting melodies and the “Dreamers,” spirits from Mary’s past who guide her through her new life, dramatizing The Secret Garden’s compelling tale of forgiveness and renewal.
The upcoming concert version will feature the Delta Symphony Orchestra, Broadway veterans, as well as a large cast of Northeast Arkansas favorites and a community choir. Dr. Neale Bartee will lead the Delta Symphony Orchestra.
