by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

Great Lakes Theater’s ‘The Secret Garden’ is wondrous and wick Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics The tears start welling up right about the time the pale apparition of Lily Craven makes her entrance early in Great Lakes Theater’s absolutely gorgeous telling of “The Secret Garden.” They’re welling up still. An enchanting adaptation of the classic children’s novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, this acclaimed musical with book and lyrics by Marsha Norman and music by Lucy Simon premiered on Broadway in 1991 and has been given several strong stagings in Cleveland over the years. None are as emotionally engaging or tear-inducing as this one. For more of this review, go to www.clevelandjewishnews.com/columnists/.
