When its Broadway transfer was announced back in October 2024, Snook opened up about her positive experience with the project.

“It was a singular privilege to bringThe Picture of Dorian Grayto life in London and I am thrilled we will be able to share this astonishing production with audiences in New York,” she 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.”
