Andi Gladwin Brings SHUFFLED! to Rhapsody Theater in March

Renowned British magician Andi Gladwin will bring his first-ever solo production, Shuffled – a fusion of storytelling and technology – at The Rhapsody Theater Chicago, 1328 W. Morse Avenue, for two weekends only, March 14-17 and March 21-24, 2024.  Developed exclusively for The Rhapsody Theater, with Shuffled, Gladwin encourages audience members to bring their own decks of cards for his sleight-of-hand mastery – and the already intimate venue will be reconfigured to accommodate only 44 guests per show, providing a close-up view and a special interactive experience! And Gladwin welcomes any sort of card decks, “from Grandma’s bridge cards to the family Uno card game;” saying “you’ll never look at that familiar deck of cards in the same way again.”

“Shuffled truly illustrates what makes The Rhapsody Theater unique, as we provide internationally acclaimed headliner magicians, such as Andi, with the opportunity to create and perform brand new work for Chicago audiences. Our professional staging elements rival those of an off-Broadway theater venue, and we encourage our artists to stage full-length productions that simply couldn’t be accommodated in any other magic venue in the city,” said Ricardo Rosenkranz, MD, Rhapsody Theater LLC Managing Partner and resident performer, the Physician Magician.  

More about Andi Gladwin
