The Picture Of Dorian Gray

Dorian Gray is a young, wealthy and extremely attractive young man living in the often hedonistic world of upper class victorian London. After having a portrait painted of himself by the accomplished artist Basil Hallward, he makes a wish and is granted with the gift of eternal youth and good looks. As he grapples with the notion of possessing immortality, the picture growing old instead of him, Dorian descends, with the assistance of his greatest friend, the witty, influential and cynical aristocrat Lord Henry Wotton, into an ever more debauched lifestyle of  increasingly questionable morality, the painting all the while absorbing his sins and wrongdoings into it’s canvas. Based on, and faithful to the original text of the classic 1890 Oscar Wilde novel. This new musical, penned by musician and lyricist Mark J. Middlemiss is heavily inspired by the dark, classic, operatic musicals of the 1970’s and 1980’s. Set in two acts, twenty years apart, with a traditional style score, classic staging ...and a delicious overture!.
