Sarah Snook Sizzles in 'The Picture of Dorian Gray'
"Not many actors can rivet your attention in a two-hour solo performance, but Sarah Snook achieves this miracle with elan! Her captivating intensity only grows as she inhabits a whole cast of characters--with the aid of some very clever technology--and weaves a story we already know in its overall outline, but her brilliantly detailed characterizations provide constant revelation and explication. Her performance is one that will remain in your imagination long after you leave the theater!"

Superb performances
"The cast, art (combining multiple angles, presentations, characters) and passion by the whole cast was phenomenal The original theme of lampooning the narcissistic tendencies of the "upper-class" has been translated brilliantly to a 21st century context. It really makes u think. Highly recommended"

Masterclass in visual experience! Sarah & Company must see!
"The stage is stark and hollow. What happens next is unbelievable. Full range of visual and sound that captivates from the moment Sarah and company walk to their first mark. Go see it!! Must see and feel the unbelievable universe created on the stage, with some pre- taped characters inserted into a live performance. Sarah brings each character to life and somehow makes it look easy! Her timing is spot on.. the camera work is perfectly in sync with Sarah’s every move. This production is beautiful, sassy, funny, complex. A masterclass in acting!! Bravo Sarah, bravo! "

DEFINITELY a must see!
"This is the most remarkable play I've ever seen! Sara Snook is a tour de force playing all 26 roles with the help of the cameras and screens. I can't even describe how powerful it is and how difficult it must have been for her to embody all of the characters in rapid fire vignettes! Two hours non stop of extensive dialogue and character rapid fire changes were amazing. So glad she won the Tony!!"

Wow! Just wow!
"Sarah Snook deserves the Tony for one of the greatest character(s) compilations I have ever seen on the stage. She is a master at voices, quick changes, and unbounded energy as well as memorization and makes a “Dorian Gray” that Oscar Wilde would be proud of seeing! "

Oscar Wilde is Smiling!
"Dorian Gray is one of the most innovative and critically compelling shows on stage in New York. The Picture of Dorian Gray is updated in a style so fresh and funky that I wish I could use it to teach a class on rhetoric and emerging media. It was edge of the seat exhilarating and our star was full on engaging, inspiring, and fun(ky) in the way she played ALL OF THE CHARACTERS!! I wish I could see it again to catch every single little nuanced moment that happened on that stage!! All I can say in the end is—-YAASSSSS QUEENS, all of ya’ll slayed!! "
