"It's a thrill to bring Darren and this show to one of our favorite cities and to the intimate Post Street Theatre," said Siegfried and Roy. "Brilliant young talent like this is rare and we are delighted to share it with Bay Area audiences."

In DARREN ROMEO, THE VOICE OF MAGIC, Romeo combines an inspiring blend of moving vocals and masterful illusions for a one-of-a-kind magical performance. His Broadway-inspired magic and musical production features classic and contemporary music ranging from Andrew Lloyd Webber to Billy Joel, as well as Romeo's original compositions. The show is punctuated by dramatic illusions including famed magician Harry Blackstone's classic "Floating Light Bulb." Romeo is the only magician entrusted by the Blackstone Estate to perform this illusion.

Darren Romeo grew up to the songs of his namesake, Bobby Darin, and other music legends. However, his first love was magic. It was through leading roles in musicals including Bye, Bye Birdie and Pippin that Romeo discovered his passion for singing.

Darren Romeo was named Magician of the Year 2004 by the Academy of Magical Arts Awards and Entertainer of the Year by the International Magicians Society. In 2004 Romeo was also honored by The Society of American Magicians (S.A.M.) for his contributions to magic and performance. He has been featured on such shows as "Entertainment Tonight," "Access Hollywood," "Extra," "The Insider" as well as in Details magazine.
