The touring stage show based on the Now You See Me franchise is headed to New York City. The production, which comes from the producers of The Illusionists and features magicians playing versions of the Four Horsemen from the movies, has already been in Sydney, London, and Singapore, and also set up a show in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Theater on October 15.
Starting on November 11, 2026, there will be two locations where you can see Now You See Me Live. On that day, in addition to the Vegas show, there will be an eight-week run at NYC’s Al Hirschfeld Theatre that concludes on January 3, 2027. (The Vegas run is set to finish soon after on January 5.)
“It is thrilling to be presenting the Broadway premiere of Now You See Me Live at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre,” producer Tim Lawson said in a statement. “We know that fans of Lionsgate’s movie franchise Now You See Me along with audiences who loved The Illusionists and those who just wish to experience the best of Broadway entertainment will have the time of their lives.”
The Four Horsemen on Broadway will reportedly be Gabriella Lester as the escapologist, James More and Darcy Oake as illusionists, and Matthew Pomeroy as a mentalist. The Las Vegas show currently has Andrew Basso, Adam Trent, Enzo Weyne, and Lester performing, and one presumes that when November 11 rolls around, someone besides Lester will join the Vegas Horsemen (or perhaps the most impressive magic trick of the production includes Lester performing in both NYC and Vegas on the same night).
Editor’s note: Mystery solved! On October 14, and after we went to print, Now You See Me Live released the news that two guest performers will join the production’s Broadway engagement. Eden Choi, the Korean magician best-known as a 2025 Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalist, will appear at performances from November 11– 29. For performances from December 1st to January 3rd, Korean magician Yollin Lee, who was named The Magic Circle's Stage Magician of the Year in Manipulation in 2024, will join the company.
