Emmy Award winner Sarah Snook, star of HBO’s smash-hit “Succession,” reprises her Olivier Award-winning performance in The Picture of Dorian Gray on Broadway. In an acting coup for the ages, Snook takes on all 26 roles in this gripping, witty, and vibrantly contemporary production that breathes new life into Oscar Wilde’s classic tale.

This ground-breaking production – adapted and directed by multi award-winning Kip Williams during his tenure as Artistic Director at the acclaimed Sydney Theatre Company – delivers an explosive interplay of live performance and video in an astonishing collision of form.

“[Sarah Snook] gets it pitch perfect…It is all beautiful, brilliant, maniacally unmissable.” –The Guardian

AANT Members' Night: Operation Mincemeat

7:00 PM Performance begins at Golden Theatre

Price: $325

Event price includes value of prime orchestra seat ($199) and cost of pre-show reception

Celebrate the best of British theatre on Broadway with the Olivier Award-winner for Best New Musical, Operation Mincemeat, directed by National Theatre Deputy Artistic Director Designate, Rob Hastie (Standing at Sky’s Edge). Join us before the show for an exclusive reception with insights from Rob about this hilarious new musical.

It’s 1943, and the Allied Forces are on the ropes. Luckily, they’ve got a trick up their sleeve. Well, not up their sleeve, per se, but rather inside the pocket of a stolen corpse. Equal parts farce, thriller, and Ian Fleming-style spy caper (with an assist from Mr. Fleming himself), Operation Mincemeat tells the wildly improbable and hilarious true story of the covert operation that turned the tide of World War II.

“Operation Mincemeat is London’s biggest hit with 74 five-star reviews, making it the best-reviewed show in West End history.”
