Summary: In Short --You Must Read
Review: I bought the script and the vocals after listening to the wonderful C.D. This is great for any young struggling actor or actress or anyone who has an interest in the theater.
I only wish that Broadway produced more touching musicals like this.
The script is heartfelt and touching it shows trimuph over loss and the importance of family no wonder it won a Tony for best book!
The script is easy to read for youngsters and the music is perfect for auditions (although you have to buy the sheet music seperately). Little actresses will love reading Mary at auditions. I love this script and find myself reading it and re-reading especially the parts with Lily and Mary.
If you loved the musical or the C.D. than you must buy the script and this is a must for any young actress!

Summary: A Magnificent Book
Review: The book the Secret Garden is one of the very few books that I have read that actually got me interested in wanting me to finish it. It was a great page turning historical fiction book that could relate to reality in some ways of which were very interesting to learn about. Mary Lennox at first played a very keep to yourself type person, in the end she learned to loosen up and respect those around her like Dickon for example or Ben Weatherstaff. So if your looking for a FANTASTIC historical fiction book read the secret garden.

Summary: A Magnificent Book
Review: This has been one of my favorite musicals since when I first sw it in 1991. It tells the classic story of the beloved novel by the same name. The music is lovely and the whole thing has a mysterious air to it, something never really done in a Secret Garden movie or musical before. I like it. All the lyrics are wonderful and the songs have a wonderful tune too. It is neat to be able to read all the lyrics and all the spoken words. The original cast recording of this musical has some of the spoken words, but not near all of them. It is a nice way to re-live the experience. I highly reccomend this book. If you like this book, you may also like the original novel "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett and the original cast recording of the musical itself.
