Woman in White Question! (SPOILERS!!!)

I have seen the show 4x but I have failed to realize what Marian's secret is! At the end after she redeems Walter's pledge and Laura gives her Anne's shawl she says something like : (after she belts "I close my eyes"

"Everything has changed.
Everything's now altered.
As long as I live its All for Laura
Now I have a Secret" - Marian says that

BUT WHAT IS THE SECRET??

Thats what I though but other people have said its like her life isn't all for Laura...any other opinions

yeah...i think her secret is that she is in love with Walter, and who could blame her? hehe

Thanks!

***SPOILERS***

Most everyone had a secret --

*The Woman in White (Anne Catherick) had a secret - her relationship with Glyde with whom she had a child
*Marian had an unrequited love for Walter
*Percival Glyde was titled but actually impoverished ( which he kept from Laura)
*Count Fosco - was outwardly charming but was the real villain
*The Uncle - knew about his brother's secret liaisons

*Laura and Walter were taken with each other -- but kept their feelings secret and took some time to express their romantic interest.

Muscle - short answer -- Because it was easier for some people to jump on the bandwagon of people who dislike anything Webber than to be open to a genuine musical drama. I for one appreciate the sophisticated score and a show that was moving, dark, intriguing rather than the usual par for the course of Broadway lately which seems all musical comedy/jukebox musicals.

As for the topic itself - I think the secret is that Walter had Pledged to be with Marian and that she freed him of that pledge - while everytime she closes her eyes "... I still his face..."

You're so right Jo. Everyone in that show had a secret....well, perhaps not Beatrice/Missy, the rat .

I've always believed that Marian's secret was her love for Walter - a love she could never tell Laura about.

I'm already looking forward to the tour version of WIW next year.......

LOL, but no. I am almost totally sure she means that she would've or could've ended up with Walter but knew that his true love was Laura.
