Sierra Boggess, Clifton Duncan, and Drew Gehling will star in a lab presentation of the upcoming Broadway revival of The Secret Garden. Directed and choreographed by Warren Carlyle, the lab will be held May 19-June 8.

Boggess will take on the role of Lily, with Duncan as Archibald and Gehling as Neville Craven. They will be joined by Amber Iman as Martha, Adam Chanler-Berat as Dickon, Brooklyn Shuck as Mary, Cameron Mann as Colin, Matt Doyle as Albert, Sally Ann Triplett as Medlock, Jim Norton as Ben, Anoop Desai as Fakir, and Kuhoo Verma as Ayah. Gerald Goehring and Michael F. Mitri serve as producers, with John and Danita Thomas and Fred and Randi Sternfeld as coproducers.

Based on the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden tells the story of Mary Lennox, a young, Indian-born English orphan sent to live with her cold and distant aunt and uncle in Yorkshire. There, Mary discovers a decrepit garden, which she sets out to bring back to life.

With book and lyrics by Tony Award winner Marsha Norman and music by Tony Award nominee Lucy Simon, The Secret Garden will be revived on Broadway during the 2018-19 season.
