Arturo Brachetti Brings CHANGE To The West End

In an amazing display of virtuosic skill, Arturo Brachetti brings over one hundred characters to the stage in a unique and spectacular show that simply has to be seen to be believed. From James Bond to the Queen via Johnny Rotten, he transforms between characters in the blink of an eye in an astonishing display of the time-honoured art of quick change. Arturo's own distinct brands of humour and charm combine with eye-popping illusions in a show that tells the story of a famed entertainer whose memories of his illustrious career come to life.
 
A theatrical phenomenon, Arturo Brachetti has almost single-handedly revived the lost art of quick change (practiced in Italy since the sixteenth century) with his vast repertoire of characters. In his new show, CHANGE, Brachetti tells the story of a legendary artiste of the Golden Age of cabaret, an unparalleled theatre magician, who, after a career that has taken him to some of the greatest theatres in the world, will finally take his place on the stage of London's West End.
 
Arturo Brachetti has amazed worldwide audiences with his performances as an actor, comedian and illusionist on television and film as well as in the theatre. In 1999, he created his signature show A Man with a Thousand Faces which has been seen by over 1,250,000 people all over the world and has won the Molière Award in Paris (equivalent to Britain's Olivier Award) and Quebec's Olivier Award.
