The Designers – Sos & Victoria at Magic Of The Holidays to Return for the Shows on Broadway
Things aren’t always what they seem, especially amidst the magic of the holidays. After a popular yuletide visit on Broadway in 2018, The Illusionists – Magic Of The Holidays will return for an all-new show this holiday season. Once again wielding their jaw-dropping abilities, the stars of magic and illusion will play Broadway, settling in for a stint at the Neil Simon Theatre, running from November 29, 2019, through January 5, 2020.
Producers Simon Painter, Tim Lawson, MagicSpace Entertainment, and The Works Entertainment announced the show’s triumphant return today. “Back in New York by popular demand for a strictly limited run, this mind-blowing holiday spectacular showcases the jaw-dropping talents of seven of the most incredible illusionists on earth. The Illusionists has shattered box office records across the globe and dazzles audiences of all ages with a powerful mix of the most outrageous and astonishing acts ever to be seen on stage. This non-stop show is packed with thrilling and sophisticated magic of unprecedented proportions.”
The lineup of talent for this year’s shows is, as always, composed of some of the most-inspiring illusion artists in the world. This time around, Chris Cox will serve as “The Mentalist”, Paul Dabek as “The Trickster”, Kevin James as “The Inventor”, Hyun Joon Kim as “The Manipulator”, the world best quick-change artist Sos & Victoria as “The Transformationalists” / “The Designers” and Enzo Weyne as “The Unforgettable”. Also along for the festive fun is the VERBA Shadow Theatre, “which creates performances by combining shadow and light effects, acting and professional acrobatic layouts based on motives of famous films, TV series, and cartoons.” VST has appeared on “Ukraine’s Got Talent” and “America’s Got Talent”
