Dates and a theatre have been announced for the highly anticipated Broadway run of The Picture of Dorian Gray, based on the classic novel by Oscar Wilde, Playbill reported. The 14-week limited engagement will begin previews March 10, 2025, at the Music Box Theatre, with an official opening March 27.
Sarah Snook, star of the hit TV series Succession, will make her Broadway debut with the transfer, playing 26 characters in a solo version of the novel. Adapted and directed by Kip Williams, the production 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.
"I could not be more thrilled to have found a home for The Picture of Dorian Gray at the Music Box Theatre," Williams said. "Its stunning design makes it the perfect venue for our show, and I extend my great thanks to the Shubert Organization for the honor of presenting Dorian in a space that has celebrated so many remarkable productions. I eagerly anticipate the moment when audiences can experience this new adaptation of Oscar Wilde's extraordinary story in such an exquisite theatre."
"We are delighted to be calling the Music Box Theatre our home for The Picture of Dorian Gray," added producer Michael Cassel. "This stunning theatre, home to so many legendary plays and musicals over its 103-year history will enhance the production's unique storytelling, allowing us to share this timeless tale in an extraordinary, resonant setting."
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.
