The Sarah Snook-led solo adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray begins previews March 10 at the Music Box Theatre.

Succession star Snook makes her Broadway debut with the transfer of Oscar Wilde's classic novel, adapted and directed by Kip Williams. Opening on Broadway March 27, the work comes to New York following a sold-out run in London's West End in 2024. It originated at Sydney Theatre Company (where Williams is artistic director) in 2020.

Williams' collision of form employs an interplay of video and theatre through an intricately choreographed collection of on-stage cameras bringing to life 26 characters, each played by Snook. According to Deadline, Cate Blanchett's Dirty Films have already acquired the rights to adapt the stage show for the screen.

While Snook is the only performer in the production, she is supported at various points by five camera operators: clew, Luka Kain, Natalie Rich, Benjamin Sheen, and Dara Woo. Benjamin Sheen is the camera captain, and the camera operator understudies are Will Colacito and Benjamin Wheelwright.

The Broadway production of The Picture of Dorian Gray 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. Jaymi Knierum is production consultant, and Lisa Iacucci is production stage manager. 

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.
