Mischief Theatre will present three new productions at the Vaudeville theatre during their residency. Tickets for Magic Goes Wrong will go on public sale on Sunday 10 March or can be purchased now via nimaxtheatres.com and MischiefTheatre.co.uk. A further production will be announced in due course.

Henry Lewis, Artistic Director of Mischief Theatre, and Jonathan Sayer, Company Director of Mischief Theatre, said: 'We can't believe we're getting to work with the iconic Penn & Teller for Magic Goes Wrong. The next Goes Wrong show has been a long time coming so we can't wait for audiences to join the original Mischief company at the Vaudeville for what we're sure will be an evening full of surprises - mainly for us and the stage management!'

Teller said: 'When our own magic has gone wrong, we were miserable, but when it's somebody else, it's hilarious, so this seems like the perfect project for Mischief and us. We're huge fans of theirs, so collaborating with them was a privilege and an astonishment. Any idea we'd pitch them, right on the spot they'd turn it around and make us double over laughing. We're very proud of the results and hope you enjoy the show.'

J.J. Abrams said: 'I am a nearly life-long fan of Penn & Teller and working with the Mischief Theatre Company has been pure joy. I expect all that to change with this new production.'
