The story of a little girl with a great big imagination based on Francis Hodgson Burnett's popular 19th century children's novel which has been made into several films, including the 1936 Shirley Temple Fox film. Separated from her father, and the open-hearted Africans who helped him raise her, Sarah Crewe is sent to boarding school in London. When things go badly for her there, her imagination comes to the rescue, transforming the drab institution into a place of magic and mystery. As she wins the affection of the other boarders, Sarah draws the ire of Miss Minchin, the dour head mistress. When her father is reported dead and his fortune seized, Sarah is made a servant of the institution. Sarah counters all Miss Minchin’s best efforts to degrade her with the grace and virtue of a little princess. (Presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International.)
