A new musical based on, and faithful to, the original 1890 novel by Oscar Wilde starring Kevin Kennedy (Coronation Street, Rock of Ages, rocky Horror Show).

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. This new musical is heavily inspired by the dark, classic, sung-through musicals of the 1970's and 1980's. Set in two acts, twenty years apart, with classic staging...and a delicious overture!
