As winter winds blow across the Yorkshire Moors, recently-orphaned Mary Lennox arrives at Misselthwaite Manor, the austere home of an uncle she has never met.
The wind howls around the building, but is it the wind Mary hears or the distant sound of crying from within the house?
Conceited, stubborn and bewildered by unfamiliar surroundings Mary's life is transformed when she comes across a garden which is all but forgotten.
Placing her trust in local lad Dickon, Mary breathes life into the abandoned garden and is determined to uncover the family secrets hidden inside the house, changing the fortunes of Misselthwaite and all who live there forever.
The musical runs until tomorrow. Call the box office on 0113 213 7700.

SUNDAYMUSICAL: Day of the Dead – Sheffield City Hall
The Day of the Dead is the brand new extravaganza from The Circus of Horrors. Following on from the huge success of The Asylum, this show has had a major revamp and is back rocking and shocking new format.
Set in Mexico during the early 1900s, the cast of chaos-mongers transport the body of their doyen, Doktor Haze, to a remote area of Mexico.
In a former burial ground of Aztec Warriors, they join in the local inhabitants' Day of the Dead rituals, to try and revive their esteemed leader.
All, of course, with disastrous consequences!
Amid a backdrop of an Aztec temple, you'll see witch-doctors, voodoo acrobats, pickled People, bendy bodies, demon dwarves and flying vampires erupting from a tank of blood to perform their amazing spine-chilling stunts.
Once revived, the undead ringmaster, Doktor Haze will guide you through a hell of a tale!
He's helped by the live, devil-driven rock n' roll of the The Interceptors From Hell and a huge, uncontrollable cast of Toltecion Beauties, Curvaceous Creatures, Aztec Warriors, Posada's Skeletons, Voluptuous Vampires.
And they're joined by some of the world's greatest, grotesque, most daring and bizarre circus acts!
