A world-class magic ensemble (to be announced in coming months) inspired by the film’s characters, the “Four Horsemen” will stun audiences in a showcase of unmatched synergy. Assembled from around the globe, they bring an unbelievable arsenal of solo skills, shocking twists and grand feats of illusion to this Australian premiere season. The Australian tour will open at the Sydney Opera House before making its way to Perth.
Combined the quartet have performed in thousands of shows in hundreds of cities – including sell-out residencies on Broadway and in Las Vegas – and have left spellbound audiences questioning the realms of possibility in their wake.
Crown Perth CEO Brian Pereira said, “We are incredibly excited to be hosting this spectacular illusion stage show at Crown Theatre this summer, once again bringing cutting-edge productions to Perth locals and visitors alike.”
Simon Painter, Creative Producer said: “Now You See Me Live pushes the boundaries of stage magic to the absolute edge, making the impossible possible in front of your very eyes. Together we’ve created a show with truly mind-blowing artistry at epic scale and we can’t wait for Perth audiences to experience the magic – live!”
Lionsgate’s President, Global Products & Experiences, Jenefer Brown said: “Fans are mesmerized by the showmanship, spectacle, and skill of the Four Horsemen in the Now You See Me movies, and we are thrilled for audiences to experience the magic of the franchise live on stage at this venue.”
Now You See Me Live is brought to the stage by Simon Painter (Co-Creator, Executive Producer), Adam Trent (Co-Creator), Tim Lawson (Executive Producer), Ash Jacks (McCready) (Creative Director, Staging Director), Kirsty White (Creative Director), and Enzo Wenye (Illusion Director). It is based on characters created by BoazYakin and Edward Ricourt for Lionsgate’s $670 million Now You See Me franchise, which includes two hit film instalments and the upcoming third movie from director Ruben Fleischer, and a screenplay by Seth Grahame-Smith, Michael Lesslie, Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, based on a story by Eric Warren Singer.
