NOW YOU SEE ME LIVE stage show to receive UK premiere at London Coliseum

It has been announced that the international stage illusion spectacular NOW YOU SEE ME LIVE will play at the London Coliseum for five weeks only from 31 July-6 September.

The cutting-edge production, which has already wowed audiences in Australia and Singapore, is inspired by Lionsgate’s worldwide blockbuster franchise, Now You See Me.

NOW YOU SEE ME LIVE will bring the magic to life with a mix of high-tech illusions, solo stunts, and jaw-dropping spectacles.

A world-class magic ensemble inspired by the film’s characters, the “Four Horsemen” - to be announced soon - will stun audiences in a showcase of unmatched synergy. Assembling from around the globe, they will bring an unbelievable arsenal of solo skills, shocking twists and grand feats of illusion to London this summer.

NOW YOU SEE ME LIVE has been dazzling audiences across Australia and Singapore, playing to packed houses - including a completely sold-out run at the Sydney Opera House. Critics at The Sydney Morning Herald called it “a mind-blowing spectacle of illusion and storytelling,” while Broadway World said, “your jaw will hit the floor…a high-energy blend of wonder, humour and jaw-dropping illusions,” cementing its status as a must-see event.

Creative producer Simon Painter 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 London audiences to experience the magic – live!”

Executive Producer Tim Lawson said: “It is thrilling to be presenting the UK premiere of Now You See Me Live at the magnificent London Coliseum, originally built as one of London’s largest and most luxurious family variety theatres. We’re looking forward to continuing this tradition and dazzling audiences of all ages over summer.”

NOW YOU SEE ME LIVE is brought to the stage by co-creator and executive producer Simon Painter, co-creator Adam Trent, executive producer Tim Lawson, creative director and staging director Ash Jacks McCready, creative director Kirsty White, and illusion director Enzo Wenye (Illusion Director).

Tickets for NOW YOU SEE ME LIVE go on general sale on 1 April, with further info here.
