A colorful cast of characters comes to the Boston Opera House stage April 4–9 when the magic spectacular The Illusionists—Live from Broadway manifests itself in Boston. Boasting seven of the top magicians in the world, this behemoth has smashed box office records across the globe. Audiences can marvel as dazzling, mind-bending illusions—including levitation, mind-reading and disappearance acts—unfold right before their eyes. This is no typical magic show, however, as it is punctuated with contemporary theatricality and artistry, highlighted by stunning costumes, set designs and more visual treats and surprises to delight even the most jaded viewers.
