META Performing Arts present
The Secret Garden
Book and Lyrics by MARSHA NORMAN
Music by LUCY SIMON
based on the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett,
An entrancing and haunting musical for the whole family! This enchanting classic of children's literature is re-imagined in brilliant musical style by composer Lucy Simon and Marsha Norman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of 'Night Mother. Orphaned in India, 11 year-old Mary Lennox returns to Yorkshire to live with her embittered, reclusive uncle Archibald and his invalid 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. Its Broadway premiere garnered 3 Tony Awards, including "Best Book". Presented by META, this production has an exceptional cast including performers from the Seattle Opera, Bellingham Opera, and lots of new talent to META, with Melissa McPhaden as Director and Jennifer Ceresa as Music/Vocal Director. The Secret Garden is presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.
