- A stage adaptation of the global film franchise, Now You See Me, will run at the London Coliseum from 31 July 2026.
- The stage show, which previously played in Australia and Singapore, will run for 5-weeks.
And for their next trick, Lionsgate will transform the Now You See Me film series into a spellbinding stage show. Set to cast its magic over London this summer, Now You See Me Live will have a strictly limited five-week run at the London Coliseum from 31 July to 6 September.
Inspired by the smash-hit Now You See Me franchise starring Jesse Eisenberg, this ambitious stage production brings the slick, high-stakes world of big-screen illusion to the stage. At the heart of the show is a world-class ensemble of magicians, modelled on the iconic “Four Horsemen.”
Audiences can expect a fast-paced spectacle that blends cutting-edge technology with classic showmanship. From high-tech illusions to daring solo stunts and large-scale set pieces, the production promises to deliver the kind of jaw-dropping moments typically reserved for cinema, only this time, there will be no camera trickery, it’ll happen live, right in front of your eyes.
Creative Producer Simon Painter has described the production as a “game-changer for live magic, designed to stretch the boundaries of illusion and create moments that feel truly impossible”. His vision is brought to life by a team of leading creatives: Adam Trent (Co-Creator), Tim Lawson (Executive Producer), Ash Jacks McCready (Creative Director & Staging Director), Kirsty White (Creative Director), and Enzo Wenye (Illusion Director).
With its cinematic origins, critically acclaimed runs in Australia and Singapore, and a creative team at the top of their game, Now You See Me Live is a treat full of world-class tricks.
