Sarah Snook is a natural theatre kid, even though most audiences know her for her work on TV. Since winning an Emmy Award for playing Shiv Roy on HBO's Succession, she's won an Olivier Award for appearing in The Picture of Dorian Gray in London's West End — not just in the title role, but 25 others. And for making her Broadway debut with the show's NYC transfer, Snook is now a 2025 Tony Award winner for Best Leading Actress in a Play.

Christmas dinner is fun bc my family always asks “So what’s good on Broadway right now?” & you BET I take my opportunity to chatter about my favorite stuff and run with it.
Thoroughly Modern Millie is the musical that got me into theatre. Into the Woods made me cry all five times I saw it (a rarity). She Loves Me is my comfort listen. Never met Gavin Creel but I owe so much to his work. Cancer sucks so, so much. Rest in peace. ♥️
My 3-year job-aversary is today and ironically, I am out of office at the beach with my friends. Happy day to me, I didn’t entirely forget, now back to my previously scheduled girls’ time in the ocean. 🥳😌
