  3. The Secret Garden


This enchanting Tony Award-winning musical (based on the famous 1911 novel) possesses one of the most glorious scores ever to hit Broadway. THE SECRET GARDEN is a family friendly, yet extremely sophisticated production which tells the story of eleven-year-old Mary Lennox, orphaned in India, and her return to Yorkshire to live with her reclusive uncle Archibald and his son Colin. The estate's many wonders include a magic garden which beckons Mary with haunting melodies and the spirits from her past who guide her through her new life. ACT of CT’s production of THE SECRET GARDEN is one of the most highly anticipated shows of the 2022/2023 season. Don’t miss the musical that Time Magazine called “elegant and entrancing…the best American musical of the Broadway season.” For All Ages
