Fresh off her acclaimed run in London's West End, Sarah Snook, best known for her role in Succession, brings her smash-hit one-woman production of The Picture of Dorian Gray to Broadway.

2025 is shaping up to be a bumper year for screen actors making their Broadway debuts as this starry revival of David Mamet's Pulitzer Prize-winning play joins the roster, with both Bill Burr and Bob Odenkirk making their stage bows alongside Sucession and 2025 Academy Award winner Kieran Culkin. Directed by the Tony-winning Patrick Marber (Leopoldstadt), this much-anticipated revival marks the classic play's third Broadway outing since its premiere in 1984 - the very production that lured a young Marber into his career! He explained the upcoming project: "The play blew my young soul away. It was one of the reasons I wanted to work in theatre. Forty years later, I am so thrilled to be directing it on Broadway with these incredible actors. I will do my utmost to ensure that this great American play brings audiences the same great pleasures it brought to me."
