THE TONY AWARD-WINNING ENCHANTING CLASSIC MUSICAL “THE SECRET GARDEN”
ON STAGE AT BROWARD CENTER
The classic of children’s literature is reimagined in brilliant musical style by composer Lucy Simon and Pulitzer Prize-Winning playwright Marsha Norman. 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 story is set in the early years of the 20th century. Mary Lennox, a young English girl, born and raised in the British Raj, is orphaned by a cholera outbreak when she was eleven years old. She is sent away from India to Yorkshire, England, to live with relatives she has never met.
Her own personality blossoms as she and a young gardener bring new life to a neglected garden, as well as to her sickly invalid cousin and her reclusive, embittered uncle.
The musical premiered on Broadway April 1991 and closed January 1993, after 709 performances. The production has revisions which includes new songs. This production has performed at theatres across North America and will be going to Broadway on an unspecified date. More than 25 songs, old and new, are included in the musical.

THE BEST MUSICAL OF THE YEAR “FINDING NEVERLAND” COMING TO ZIFF OPERA HOUSE AT ARSHT CENTER
Broadway's newest hit is the winner of the Audience Choice Award for best musical. This breathtaking production captures the kid-at-heart, is a must see for everyone, and will be remembered for years to come. Finding Neverland tells the incredible story behind one of the world’s most beloved characters, Peter Pan, or “The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up,” one of the most lovable stories of all time.
Playwright J. M. Barrie struggles to find inspiration to write a new play until he meets four young brothers and their beautiful mother. Spellbound by the boys' enchanting make-believe adventures, he sets out to write a play that will astound London Theatregoers.
With a little bit of pixie dust and a lot of faith, Barrie takes the monumental leap, leaving his old world behind for Neverland, where nothing is impossible and the wonder
of childhood lasts forever. The magic of Barrie’s classic tale springs spectacularly to life in this heartwarming theatrical event. Finding Neverland is “far and away the best musical of the year.”
