Sarah Snook's Tony Award-winning performance of The Picture of Dorian Gray is now available to watch, in person at the Theatre on Film and Tape Archive at The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. The performance, which saw Snook playing 26 roles, was filmed in June 2025 at Broadway's Music Box Theatre.

The show was adapted and directed by Kip Williams from the Oscar Wilde novel. Dorian Gray closed its limited run last year after winning two Tony Awards, for Snook's performance and for Costume Design of a Play.

The film and tape archives features more than 4,000 filmed recordings of Broadway and Off-Broadway shows dating back to 1970—new recordings are released after shows have closed. Other recently released titles include Gypsy starring Audra McDonald and John Proctor is the Villain starring Sadie Sink.

But before you run to the library, you need to remember that these filmed productions are captured for research purposes. That means they're more barebones than a typical commercial live stage capture. In addition, you must have a valid NYPL library card and you can only watch these productions onsite at the Lincoln Center branch while a librarian is present. Each production can only be viewed once.

Though there is a caveat: New York City teachers can show the productions in the NYPL archives off-site in a classroom (so students can watch Snook's version of Dorian Gray in the classroom as part of a course on Wilde's novel).

These restrictions are how TOFT can capture every Broadway show and make them available to the general public for free, and without paying any of the artists involved—because these recordings can only be accessed in a limited capacity for research purposes.
