The Sarah Snook-led solo adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray played its final performance June 29 after playing 15 previews and 88 performances at the Music Box Theatre, where it opened March 27, with previews beginning March 10. The limited engagement received six Tony Award nominations, taking home two. Read the reviews here.
Succession star Snook made her Broadway debut with the transfer of Oscar Wilde's classic novel, adapted and directed by Kip Williams. The work came 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 has already acquired the rights to adapt the stage show for the screen.
