Jamie Allan's magic show Amaze, which played an acclaimed run at the Criterion Theatre in London鈥檚 West End, will make its New York debut at New World Stages later this summer.
Off-Broadway previews will begin July 20 prior to an official opening August 13 for a limited engagement through November 2. Co-created by Allan and Tommy Bond, the production is directed by Jonathan Goodwin and also features Natalia Love.
Combining state-of-the-art technology with conjuring techniques, Amaze is described as a "story-driven magic show that puts the wonder directly into the hands of the audience and makes them feel part of the magic."
Star, co-creator, and executive producer Allan said in a statement, 鈥�Amaze is a deeply emotional show for me to deliver and is so very personal. It is incredibly rewarding to see the magic and my true story connect so deeply with people. Amaze is a show about a child who dreams of being a magician, and a huge part of that dream for me was to appear in my own show. In many ways, part of my story will be lived out on stage every night. We鈥檝e had huge success in London, and I can鈥檛 wait for New York audiences to join me for this turbo-charged version of Amaze.鈥�
The creative team also includes illusion director Richard Young, set designer Damien Stanton, and sound designer Ryan Borshuk. Damaris Eddy is the technical stage manager, Lee Widerick is production manager, Glenn Strachan is assistant production manager, and Greg Frewin is illusion production manager.
Allan premiered his brand of iMagician on British TV in 1995 as a teenager, captivating audiences with his innovative approach. Since then, he has continued to push the boundaries of modern illusions, incorporating holograms, laser beams, 3D video mapping, and interactive social media to engage spectators.
Amaze is produced by Corey Ross and executive-produced by Steve Sterling.
