Sarah Snook Opens on Broadway in The Picture of Dorian Gray

Emmy winner Sarah Snook celebrated her opening night in The Picture of Dorian Gray on March 27 at the Music Box Theatre.

Adapted and directed by Kip Williams, this production originated at Australia’s Sydney Theatre Company and played a sold-out run in London’s West End earlier this year. Inspired by Oscar Wilde’s novel, the production is a “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 brought to life by Snook.”

Snook — best known for playing Shiv Roy in Succession — won an Olivier Award for The Picture of Dorian Gray, as did costume designer Marg Horwell. Horwell also designed the set, with lighting by Nick Schlieper, music and sound design by Clemence Williams, video design by David Bergman, and dramaturgy by Eryn Jean Norvill, who originated the roles in Sydney in 2022.

Of the production, our critic said, “It’s a theatrical tour-de-force, as well as an impressive feat of video engineering. But, unlike the title character, its imperfections are all too apparent.” Read his full review here.
