Mentalist Derren Brown Hopes to Bring His Show to Broadway

Mentalist Derren Brown has recently released a special on Netflix, called Sacrifice. Now, in a new interview with Forbes, he has revealed that he has his sights set on Broadway next.

As this is his first special showing in America, he was asked if the stakes are a bit higher for him. He explained that yes, they are, especially if he plans to take the show to an American stage.

"I...hope to come and do a Broadway show next year," he said. "So there is also a little bit of wondering how this new audience will take it."

Brown did a show Off-Broadway last year, and he explains that his potential new show would be in the same vein.

"It would be the same show that I did Off-Broadway in 2017," he said. "That's the plan, but nothing's tied down; hopefully, next spring is the sort of fingers crossed plan."
