Based on the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret
Garden tells the story of Mary Lennox, a lonely little girl who
is sent to live with her uncle Archibald in Yorkshire after being
orphaned by a cholera epidemic in India. Still grieving over the
loss of his beloved wife Lily who died ten years earlier during
childbirth and distraught over the condition of his bedridden son,
Archibald casts a dark shadow over the manor until Mary discovers
a secret garden that had once belonged to Lily. By nursing this
garden back to life, Mary somehow restores life to her grieving
uncle and his sick son.
The Secret Garden opened at the St. James Theater on April 25, 1991
with a cast that featured Daisy Eagan (Mary), Rebecca Luker (Lily),
and Mandy Patinkin (Archibald). Marsha Norman won a Tony Award for
"Best Book of a Musical" and Daisy Eagan became the youngest
actress ever to win a Tony for her portrayal of Mary. The production
enjoyed a run of 706 performances.
