Sarah Snook is stretching the definition of “one-woman show” on a nightly basis.
The Emmy Award-winning “Succession” actress — who was just nominated for a Tony — performs a whopping 26 (!) roles in “The Picture of Dorian Gray” at Broadway’s Music Box Theatre.
Those parts include “aristocrats, a bumbling artist, a cuckoo starlet and a vengeful brother” according to The Post, in their glowing 3.5-star review of the multimedia, Olivier-winning production that tells the story of a young man that makes a Faustian bargain to remain forever young in exchange for his soul.
“It’s an often breathtaking show with risk coursing through its veins,” The Post continued. “If any of the army of cameras are on the fritz, if a single cue is missed, if sensational Snook skips a few lines, the whole impressive experiment comes crashing down.”
While Snook is alone onstage, the high-flying show is anything but minimalist. Larger-than-life projections, pre-recorded videos, costume changes and props make for a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience dreamed up by Tony-nominated Kip Williams, who dreamed up the play in the depths of COVID, took it to Sydney’s Roslyn Packer Theatre, then London’s West End and now Broadway.
If you want to see an inventive reimagining of Oscar Wilde’s classic text before the Tony Awards on June 8 or before “The Picture of Dorian Gray” officially closes on July 2, tickets are available for all upcoming performances.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets for any one show was $139 before fees on Vivid Seats.

About “The Picture of Dorian Gray”
“There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about,” Oscar Wilde wrote in his timeless 1890 novel that inspired the show.
In the years since, the once-controversial text has continued to stay a part of the cultural conversation. Over the past 135 years, the book has been adapted for the stage, film and even television in “Penny Dreadful.”
For the uninitiated, the story centers on Basil Hallward’s portrait of Gray. He’s enchanted by Dorian’s appearance and paints the young man. With the universal knowledge that his looks will fade with time, Dorian decides to sell his soul and asks that, in return, the portrait ages in his place.
Snook and director Williams’ latest version of the show brings this vapidity to the 21st century, employing multiple cameramen to pull off the stunt where the actress — who goes broad here rather than subtle like she did so expertly in “Succession” — can play multiple roles at once.
“At one absurd point, like a scene out of a 1990s comedy movie, seven Snooks eat dinner together,” The Post explains.
