Opening Night March 27, 2025 at the Music Box Theatre, 239 West 45th Street
The critically acclaimed Sydney Theatre Company production of The Picture of Dorian Gray, starring Emmy and Olivier Award winner Sarah Snook (“Succession”) and adapted and directed by Kip Williams, will open Thursday, March 27, 2025 on Broadway at the Music Box Theatre (239 West 45th Street). Previews will begin Monday, March 10, 2025. The Picture of Dorian Gray will play a strictly limited engagement for 14 weeks.
The production comes to Broadway following a sold-out run in London’s West End. Snook, who won the 2024 Olivier Award for her performance, makes her Broadway debut playing 26 characters in this breathtaking adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s only novel.
Wilde’s timeless text is revolutionized by Williams’ celebrated collision of form employing an explosive interplay of video and theater through an intricately choreographed collection of on-stage cameras bringing to life a dizzying 26 characters, each vividly portrayed by Snook. Marking her hotly anticipated Broadway debut following her critically acclaimed and Olivier Award-winning performance in the London premiere production of The Picture of Dorian Gray, Australian star Sarah Snook reprises her searing performance of all the characters in the production.
Snook was most recently seen as Shiv Roy in hit series “Succession,” a role that earned her global acclaim. Over Succession’s four seasons she received an Emmy Award, two Golden Globe Awards and a Critics Choice Award.
Enrapturing audiences, the celebrated world premiere season in 2020 extended twice in Sydney and toured to critical and audience acclaim throughout Australia. In London The Picture of Dorian Gray was adored by critics and audiences alike and earned Snook a Best Actress Olivier Award and a Best Costume Design Olivier Award for Marg Horwell.
Williams’ interpretation of beauty, excess, and a deal with the devil brings a striking resonance in our current era, holding a mirror to 21st century society’s narcissistic obsession with youth.
Set and Costume Design is by Marg Horwell, Lighting Design by Nick Schlieper, Composition & Sound Design by Clemence Williams, Video Design by David Bergman and Eryn Jean Norvill as Dramaturg & Creative Associate.
