The production is set to open at March 27, 2025 at the Music Box Theatre. Previews begin March 10.
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.
