Sarah Snook will bring her Olivier-winning performance in The Picture of Dorian Gray to Broadway next year, with performances to begin in a Shubert-owned theatre in March 2025. The production's theatre and exact dates are to be announced.
The Succession star will make her Broadway debut with the transfer, playing 26 characters in the solo version of the Oscar Wilde novel, adapted and directed by Kip Williams. The work is coming to New York following a sold-out run in London's West End earlier this year. It originated at Sydney Theatre Company (where Williams is artistic director) in 2020. Reports of the Broadway transfer emerged last spring.
“I was so humbled by the response from audiences in London to The Picture of Dorian Gray, and I could not be more thrilled to be bringing this work to Broadway," says Williams in a statement. "It has been extraordinary to witness the way Oscar Wilde’s story continues to resonate with people today. I am so excited for audiences in New York to experience our show and to see the tour-de-force performance Sarah Snook gives in bringing to life the many characters in this new adaptation of Wilde’s remarkable story.”
“I have said it many times, but from the very first time I saw The Picture of Dorian Gray, I knew that it deserved a global audience,” adds producer Michael Cassel. “This production is a mesmerizing spectacle that is transformative, innovative, and purely delightful. Sharing what Kip Williams has created is undoubtedly one of my proudest career achievements, and I am overjoyed the incomparable Sarah Snook has agreed to reprise her astonishing performance for Broadway.”
The production features set and costume design by Marg Horwell, lighting design by Nick Schlieper, music and sound design by Clemence Williams, video design by David Bergman, and dramaturgy by Eryn Jean Norvill.
Along with Cassel, the Broadway run is being produced by Adam Kenwright, Len Blavatnik and Danny Cohen, Daryl Roth, Amanda Lipitz, and Henry Tisch. Foresight Theatrical is the general manager, and Aaron Lustbader is executive producer. Michael Cassel Group is the worldwide executive producer.
