The Secret Garden is a musical about a young girl, Mary, who loses her family to cholera in India and must return to England to live with her mourning uncle. Mary uncovers her late aunt’s hidden garden and is able to reignite her uncles love for life as they find support within each other.

Secret Garden is a world of magic and love. Ghosts of lost loved ones follow the living characters and the story is told with tableaus of the past. The sound is used to help differentiate between bad memories and the kind intentioned spirits of family lost. Separate reverbs were used to add depth to the singing and to help differentiate flashback dialogue.
