A brand-new musical by MJM Music, with a score by Kevin Kennedy, that stays faithful to Oscar Wilde's 1890 gothic novel.
The Picture of Dorian Gray opens at Perth Theatre on Friday 26 February, a new musical by MJM Music that stays faithful to Oscar Wilde's original 1890 gothic novel. It's a story most of us know in outline: Dorian Gray's fate becomes bound to a mysterious portrait that absorbs his sins while he remains the picture of perfection. With the painting taking the brunt of his choices, he descends into a debauched lifestyle of questionable morality, a slide encouraged by the influential Lord Henry Wotton. A powerful original score brings Victorian London to life around it.
Kevin Kennedy takes the role of Mr Issacs. You'll recognise him from Rock of Ages, We Will Rock You and Coronation Street, so he's well-versed in the musical theatre side of things. The show runs for 145 minutes, and it's recommended for ages 14 and over, which fits the darker, more adult themes Wilde wrote into the book.
