    Sarah Snook will come to Broadway this season in The Picture of Dorian Gra y.

    In the adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s play, Snook plays all 26 characters, in a set involving on stage cameras and video screens. She will make her Broadway debut in the play, after starring in the show’s West End run earlier this year and winning an Olivier Award for best actress.

    The production is set to open at a Shubert theater in March, but the exact theater and dates have not yet been announced.

    The play, about a man who sells his soul in order to remain youthful, while a painting of him ages, was adapted and directed by Kip Williams, the artistic director of Sydney Theatre Company, where the production originated.

    Snook is well-known for her role as Shiv Roy in Succession, for which she earned an Emmy Award, two Golden Globe Awards and a Critics Choice Award.

    “It was a singular privilege to bring The Picture of Dorian Gray to life in London and I am thrilled we will be able to share this astonishing production with audiences in New York,” Snook said. “From Oscar Wilde’s timeless words to the masterful reinterpretation Kip Williams has created, this tale of virtue, corruption, vanity and repercussion is an electrifying journey for me as much as for the audiences and I am filled with anticipation as we continue on this ambitious creative endeavor.”

    The play made its world premiere in 2020 in Sydney then toured throughout Australia, before transferring to London.

    The Broadway production is produced by Michael Cassel, Adam Kenwright, Len Blavatnik and Danny Cohen, Daryl Roth, Amanda Lipitz and Henry Tisch.
