Dorian The Musical is a thrilling new musical adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray playing at Southwark Playhouse Borough in London.

Dorian The Musical stars Alfie Friedman (he/him – The Undeclared War, The Witches of Eastwick, Laughing Boy) in the title role, alongside George Renshaw (he/him – Heathers) as Harry Wotton, Leeroy Boone (he/they – The Phantom of the Opera) as Baz, Megan Hill (they/them – But I’m a Cheerleader) as Sibyl, Gabrielle Lewis-Dodson (she/her – Identical) as Victoria Wotton, and Rhys Lambert (he/him – Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) as ensemble and understudy.

This new adaptation gives the Gothic tale a glam, modern twist with a newly composed score by Joe Evans. This modern, queer fairy-tale sears through the action, propelled by music influences from Bowie to Brecht.

Dorian The Musical is playing at Southwark Playhouse Borough in London from 4 July to 10 August 2024.

Dorian Gray. A lonely boy, bereft of love, wants the world to notice him.

When he becomes an overnight sensation, he discovers that all his wishes have come true. So why does his life seem so empty?

Charismatic music producer, the ‘Lord’ Harry Wotton, wants Dorian to be immortal. Baz Hallward, the celebrity photographer, wants to capture his soul. Sibyl Vane, a young opera singer, just wants to love him.

But Dorian feels cursed. He believes he has sold his soul. He is the ‘King of Black Hearts’. Trapped in his eternal youth he wants to change the course of his life.

Is it too late?
