Follow on Google News | DOMA Theatre Company and Requiem Media Productions present the world premiere of a new musical “Love, seduction, decadence and murder. DOMA Theatre Company partners with Requiem Media Productions, LLC to present the world premiere of a new musical based on Oscar Wilde’s classic novel, “The Picture of Dorian Gray.”
By: DOMA Theatre Company “It’s a wild, magical and mysterious story, and the themes are so relevant in today’s image-obsessed culture,” says music director and composer Chris Raymond. “The score draws on many influences, including classic Broadway, opera and modern dance music. The large cast provides rich, complex vocal harmonies throughout the show.” “We stayed very close to the source material in terms of the story and tried to incorporate Wilde’s language wherever possible,” explains writer Marco Gomez, who just received the LA Weekly Award for “Direction of a Musical” for last season’s Dreamgirls. “Our biggest challenge was the internal nature of Dorian’s conflict in the novel, which we needed to open up and dramatize. We created a character, the “Demon,” played by the wonderful Toni Smith, that helps make sense of Dorian’s personality change.” DOMA Theatre Company has carved a name for itself by presenting large-scale, Broadway-style musicals in a small intimate setting at Hollywood’s MET Theatre. DOMA’s production of Dreamgirls garnered rave reviews including a Los Angeles Times “Critic’s Choice,” was named “Musical of the Year” at the LA Weekly awards, and received multiple Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle awards including “Outstanding Revival.” Dorian’s Descent runs Fridays andSaturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundaysat 3 p.m. from May 30through July 20(dark July 4). Tickets range from $30–$34.99; End
