​​​​​​​Rattlestick Theater has announced the full creative team behind the New York premiere of SPIRITUS/VIRGIL's DANCE.

Derren Brown's one-man shows have won two Olivier Awards and played to sold out houses on tour across the UK, in the West End and on Broadway. Now, with his long-time collaborators Andy Nyman and Andrew O'Connor, Derren* has created a new show starring a multi-talented cast of seven who will perform MAGIC LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN.

The introduction of Tom Brace: A Trick Down Memory Lane is a fascinating one in which a disembodied voice recounts the time when Derren Brown played Russian Roulette live on television, creating a controversy not only in the world of magic but in general.

Andy Nyman, Jenna Russell, Tyrone Huntley and Harry Hepple will join Imelda Staunton in Dominic Cooke's production of Hello Dolly, coming to London in 2024.

Derren Brown calls his new production, Unbelievable, 'the magic show I've always wanted to see'. It's not only a show without Brown himself, but crucially (with the exception of Simon Lipkin) it is a magic show not performed by professional magicians. In fact, many members of their cast are making their West End debuts.

Brand new magic show, UNBELIEVABLE, opens for previews today (19 September 2023) in London's West End at the Criterion theatre, fusing together the best of theatre with illusion, sleight of hand and mind reading. Learn more about the show and how to get tickets here!
