The Illusionists to return to the West End in 2019

The Illusionists will return to the West End in summer 2019.

The magic troupe, which was last seen in the West End in 2015, will present its new show entitled Direct from Broadway at the Shaftesbury Theatre. The piece will showcase the most cutting-edge in magical talent.

The line-up for The Illusionists – Direct from Broadway is to be confirmed in the new year. Previous stars have included Britain's Got Talent runner-up Jamie Raven. When the show was last in the West End critic Daisy Bowie-Sell said it blows "all your fusty, Paul Daniels-influenced preconceptions of magic out of the water."

The Illusionists – Direct from Broadway runs from 6 July to 1 September with tickets on sale now.
