‘Succession’ Emmy winner Sarah Snook will make her Broadway debut

Sarah Snook, the “Succession” star who won the Emmy Award for Best Actress in a Drama on Monday night, plans to make her Broadway debut next season.

A source told The Post that Snook will come to New York with “The Picture of Dorian Gray” once it finishes its run in London, where she’s also its star. The one-woman show is scheduled to play across the pond from February to May.

She’ll perform all 26 roles in the adaption of Oscar Wilde’s novel by Kip Williams, the artistic director of the Sydney Theatre Company, where the show premiered back in 2020. Michael Cassel is producing.

A spy who saw “Dorian” Down Under said the show, which then starred Eryn Jean Norvill, was “excellent” and “a tour de force.” 

The Sydneysider added: “I think Snook is up to the challenge.”

We’ll know for sure once “Dorian” begins performances in the West End on Feb. 15.

While the Australian actress — who also took home a Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award over the past 10 days for her shifty turn as Shiv Roy — will be making her Broadway bow, she’s no stranger to live theater.

In 2016, Snook acted opposite Ralph Fiennes in Henrik Ibsen’s “The Master Builder” at the Old Vic in London.

And the 36-year-old actress won’t even need to buy a toothbrush for her stay in the five boroughs. The Brooklynite bought a $1.83 million apartment in Williamsburg last year.

The cast of HBO’s “Succession,” which wrapped up its acclaimed four-season run last year, is all over the world’s stages lately.

Jeremy Strong, who played Kendall Roy, is starring in “An Enemy of the People” with Michael Imperioli of “The Sopranos” this spring on Broadway.

And theater veteran Brian Cox, who was thunderous on the HBO drama as Logan Roy, will soon appear in “Long Day’s Journey Into Night” in London’s West End with Patricia Clarkson.

Ten years ago, Kieran Culkin, who won the Emmy for Best Actor, acted alongside Michael Cera and Tavi Gevinson in “This Is Our Youth” on Broadway. He was terrific — and should come back pronto.

Aussie Cassel, by the way, also plans to transfer another play from Sydney to Broadway during the 2024-25 season — a solo show about Ruth Bader Ginsburg by “Prima Facie” writer Suzie Miller.

“Prima Facie,” which won Jodie Comer of “Killing Eve” a Tony last year, was a hit in NYC, recouping its $4.1 million capitalization in 10 weeks.

The Post called Miller’s one-act “harrowing” and “gripping.”

New York casting for “RBG: Of Many, One,” which takes place during a pivotal chapter of the late Supreme Court justice’s life, is not yet known.
