The production has been adapted to be performed in 75 minutes by young people, with more than 2,000 children auditioning for roles of which 300 youngsters will be cast in the show.

Producer Matthew Chandler said: “This is the European premiere of a new version of The Secret Garden, specially adapted to be performed with just 4 adult actors and 20 children. We have 21 teams child actors who will perform in rotation throughout the season. of It is a fantastic opportunity for all the youngsters involved.”
