Sarah Snook in the Sydney Theatre Company production of The Picture of Dorian Gray, adapted and directed by Kip Williams. © Marc Brenner Wilde's timeless text is revolutionized by Williams' celebrated 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 vividly portrayed by Snook. Marking her hotly anticipated Broadway debut following her critically acclaimed and Olivier Award-winning performance in the London premiere production of The Picture of Dorian Gray, Australian star Sarah Snook reprises her searing performance of all the characters in the production. Snook was most recently seen as Shiv Roy in hit series "Succession," a role that earned her global acclaim. Over Succession's four seasons she received an Emmy Award, two Golden Globe Awards and a Critics Choice Award. Enrapturing audiences, the celebrated world premiere season in 2020 extended twice in Sydney and toured to critical and audience acclaim throughout Australia. In London The Picture of Dorian Gray was adored by critics and audiences alike and earned Snook a Best Actress Olivier Award and a Best Costume Design Olivier Award for Marg Horwell. Williams' interpretation of beauty, excess, and a deal with the devil brings a striking resonance in our current era, holding a mirror to 21st century society's narcissistic obsession with youth. Adapter and Director, Kip Williams said, "I could not be more thrilled to have found a home for The Picture of Dorian Gray at the Music Box Theatre. 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," Michael Cassel, producer of the Broadway production said. "This stunning theater, 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." Set and Costume Design is by Marg Horwell, Lighting Design by Nick Schlieper, Composition & Sound Design by Clemence Williams, Video Design by David Bergman and Eryn Jean Norvill as Dramaturg & Creative Associate.

ABOUT KIP WILLIAMS Adapter and Director Kip Williams is an award-winning director of theatre and opera and is the current Artistic Director and Co-CEO of Sydney Theatre Company, a role he has held since November 2016. His appointment at age 30 made him the youngest Artistic Director in the company's history. Williams has directed for many of Australia's leading theatre companies and festivals, including Sydney Theatre Company (STC), Melbourne Theatre Company (MTC), Malthouse Theatre, Adelaide Festival, Perth Festival, and Melbourne's RISING Festival, as well as internationally for Auckland Arts Festival, Michael Cassel Group, Kindred Partners and Theatre Royal Haymarket in the West End. In 2012, Williams made his mainstage theatre debut at the Sydney Opera House directing Australian screen legend Jack Thompson in Under Milk Wood. He has since gone on to direct over 20 productions for STC, including a multi-award winning cinema-theatre hybrid production of Suddenly Last Summer, lauded interpretations of Shakespeare including Romeo & Juliet and The Tempest starring Richard Roxburgh, a retelling of Lord of the Flies starring Mia Wasikowska, Daniel Monks and Yerin Ha, and collaborations with actor Hugo Weaving in The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui, Macbeth, and Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. Williams has regularly directed new writing, including the 7-hour epic The Harp in the South by Kate Mulvany, for which he won the Sydney Theatre Award for Best Director and Best Production, and is an acclaimed adapter in his own right. His 'cine-theatre' trilogy of The Picture of Dorian Gray, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, and Dracula have brought him international acclaim, with The Economist calling his work "the future of theatre". Williams' work is noted for its stunning visuals and groundbreaking formal experimentation. He has been nominated a record six consecutive times for the Helpmann Award for Best Director, Australia's top theatre prize, and in 2015 became the youngest director to win the award, for Suddenly Last Summer. He has twice won Melbourne's Green Room Award for both Best Director and Best Production, first in 2016 for his adaptation of Strindberg's Miss Julie (MTC) and next in 2023 for his celebrated adaption of The Picture of Dorian Gray (STC). He has won the Sydney Theatre Award for Best Director a record three times, for The Harp in the South (2018), The Picture of Dorian Gray (2021), and most recently for his adaptation of Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde (2022, STC). In 2024, The Stage nominated Williams for Best West End Debut for his direction of The Picture of Dorian Gray. Williams' work in opera has been much lauded, including acclaimed productions for Opera Australia, Victorian Opera, Sydney Chamber Opera (SCO), Carriageworks, Dark MOFO, Australian String Quartet, Ensemble Offspring, and the Biennale of Sydney. His radical production for the SCO of Fausto Romitelli's composition An Index of Metals was the first-ever theatrical staging of the piece. A longtime collaborator of composer and Artistic Director of SCO Jack Symonds, Williams most recently directed the world premiere of Symonds' new opera Gilgamesh. A graduate of both Sydney University and Australia's National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA), Williams served as a Board Member for NIDA from 2016-2023.
