The Picture Of Dorian Gray has become the most successful Australian show in six years on Broadway, yet hardly any of its investors are Australian – with a lack of local incentives for theatre investment being blamed.
The adaption of Oscar Wilde’s classic by former Sydney Theatre Company artistic director Kip Williams, featuring Adelaide-born Succession star Sarah Snook in all 26 roles, is the first show to gross more than $US1 million ($1.6 million) a week at the 104-year-old Music Box Theatre on 45th Street, where it has played since March 10.
