There's no other way to put it. Dorian ROCKS. It's a rock musical based on Oscar Wilde's classic story, The Picture of Dorian Gray. Instead of following Wilde's story, however, which is set in Victorian England in the late 1800s, Canadian actor/musician, Ted Dykstra, and lyricist, Steve Mayoff, have created a modern version set in the late 1900s in North America. Dorian is an aspiring model with enormous talent and potential. Through a cruel twist of fate, his youthfully-exuberant wish for immortality is granted by changing places with a mesmerizing photo taken from one of his modeling sessions. While he stays the same, the picture changes with time. And he ends up paying the price.
But that's just the plotline. The real story here is an absolutely incredible piece of music and lyrics, featuring a number of well-known Canadian singers and musicians. And the best part is that you don't have to take our word for it. Sample music is available for downloading, along with all of the lyrics. To get your own idea of Dorian's quality, all you need is an MP3 player and access to the Net. If you like what you hear, a two-CD set of Dorian is available for purchase on the site.
