Based on the classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden is a moving story of hope, healing, and the transformative power of love. The story is set in the early years of the 20th century. After losing her parents, young Mary Lennox is sent from India to live with her reclusive uncle in a mysterious English manor. As she uncovers the secrets of the estate — including a long-forgotten garden — Mary's curiosity and compassion help bring new life to those around her. Featuring a lush, soaring score and unforgettable characters, this timeless musical celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the possibility of new beginnings.
The Secret Garden opened on Broadway at the St. James Theatre on April 25, 1991. Directed by Susan H. Schulman, the production featured Daisy Eagan, Alison Fraser, Rebecca Luker, John Cameron Mitchell, Mandy Patinkin and Robert Westenberg. The musical played for a total of 709 performances, closing on January 3, 1993. The show won three 1991 Tony Awards: Marsha Norman for Best Book of a Musical, Daisy Eagan (as Mary) for Best Featured Actress in a Musical, and Heidi Landesman for Best Scenic Design.

MARSHA NORMAN (book and lyrics) won the 1983 Pulitzer Prize, Blackburn Prize, Hull-Warriner and Drama Desk Awards for her play 'Night, Mother. In 1991, she won a Tony Award and a Drama Desk Award for her book for The Secret Garden. She also wrote the book for the Broadway musical The Color Purple, for which she also received a Tony nomination in 2006. Her play The Master Butcher's Singing Club premiered at the Guthrie Theatre in the fall of 2010. She won a Peabody Award for her writing on the HBO television series In Treatment, starring Gabriel Byrne and Dianne Wiest. Her most recent work is the adaptation of The Trumpet of the Swan: A Novel Symphony for Actors and Orchestra, with music conducted and written by Jason Robert Brown. The CD has been released by TRW and PS Classics.
Her other plays include Getting Out, for which she won the John Gassner Medallion and the American Theater Critics Association Citation; Third And Oak: The Laundromat, The Pool Hall, The Holdup, Traveler in the Dark, Sarah and Abraham, Loving Daniel Boone, Trudy Blue and Last Dance. Her television and film credits include: 'Night, Mother (starring Sissy Spacek and Anne Bancroft), The Laundromat (starring Carol Burnett and Amy Madigan), The Pool Hall (starring James Earl Jones), Face of a Stranger (starring Gena Rowlands and Tyne Daley), A Cooler Climate (starring Sally Field and Judy Davis), The Audrey Hepburn Story, Custody of the Heart and Samantha: An American Girl Holiday. She spent one year as co-executive producer of Law and Order: Criminal Intent, and she wrote the "Gina" episodes of season two of HBO's In Treatment. Her other published work includes Four Plays: Collected Works Of Marsha Norman, Vol. 1, and a novel, The Fortune Teller.
Norman has served on the faculty of the Juilliard School in New York City as co-director of Juilliard's Lila Acheson Wallace American Playwrights Program, and was vice-president of the Dramatists Guild of America. She was honored at the 2011 William Inge Festival for Distinguished Achievement in the American Theatre. She left Juilliard at the end of the 2019–2020 academic year.
When LUCY SIMON (music) was in grade school, a class assignment was to memorize a poem and recite it in class. The only way she could do it was to put it to a melody. The poem she chose was “Wynken Blynken and Nod” by Eugene Field. It is the first song she ever wrote. Several years later, when she and her sister Carly were folk singers, they recorded the song and it became a chart hit. Her continuing joy is to be able to reach under the word, poem, lyric or text and find an emotional musical translation.
When The Secret Garden opened at the St. James Theatre in 1991, she was the third woman in history to compose for the Broadway stage. She has garnered multiple honors for her work, including Grammy and Drama Desk Awards and a Tony nomination for Best Score. She received the 2018 Samuel French Award for Sustained Excellence in American Theater.
She composed the music for the stage musical of Boris Pasternak’s Nobel Prize-winning novel Doctor Zhivago. It was produced on Broadway in 2015 after a successful, award-winning production in Australia in 2011. Thereafter, it enjoyed sold-out performances in Germany and Austria, produced multiple cast recordings, and was awarded 2018 Best New Musical in Poland.
Ms. Simon wrote and produced the songs and soundtrack for the award-winning HBO movie The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader Murdering Mom, and received two Grammy Awards for her In Harmony albums, which she co-wrote and produced.
Lucy Simon died on October 20, 2022, at the age of 82 from metastatic breast cancer at her home in Piermont, New York. Her death occurred just one day after her older sister, opera singer Joanna Simon, died from thyroid cancer.
