The Picture of Dorian Gray – A New Musical
A brand-new musical based on Oscar Wilde’s timeless gothic tale.
Starring Kevin Kennedy (Rock of Ages, We Will Rock You, Coronation Street) as Mr Issacs.
Dorian Gray has it all, youth, beauty and irresistible charm. But when a single wish
binds his fate to a mysterious portrait, he discovers that perfection always comes at a cost.
Outwardly untouched by time and vices, Dorian remains the picture of perfection… while
hidden away, his true soul etches itself into the canvas.
As he grapples with the notion of possessing immortality and with the assistance of the
influential Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian descends into an ever more debauched lifestyle of increasingly questionable morality. All the while, the painting absorbs his sins and
wrongdoings into its canvas.
A powerful original score brings Victorian London to life in this dramatic new musical which is faithful to the original novel. Lavish, haunting and unforgettable, this is a story where nothing is quite as it seems – and every desire leaves its mark!
AGE GUIDANCE: 14+ (parental guidance recommended)
CONTENT GUIDANCE: Haze, loud noises including gunshots, simulated smoking,
flashing lights, strobe effects and adult themes including murder, suicide and sex.
