Now You See Me Live announces West End cast for London Coliseum run
The live magic show Now You See Me Live has revealed its cast for a five-week engagement at the London Coliseum this summer, bringing large-scale illusions and high-tech effects to the West End. This production follows previously sold-out runs in Sydney and Singapore and draws inspiration from the globally successful film franchise.
Now You See Me Live will play at the London Coliseum from 31 July to 6 September 2026. Presented by Lionsgate alongside Tim Lawson, Simon Painter, and Runaway Entertainment, the show features a world-class ensemble of magicians performing solo stunts and theatrical illusions.
The cast includes internationally acclaimed illusion designer Enzo Weyne, leading escapologist Andrew Basso, rising modern magic star Gabriella Lester, and award-winning British magician Matthew Pomeroy. This lineup reflects the production’s focus on combining high-level artistry with cutting-edge stage magic.
Creative producer Simon Painter, who co-created the show with Adam Trent, said the production “pushes the boundaries of stage magic to the absolute edge,” offering “mind-blowing artistry at epic scale.” Executive producer Tim Lawson highlighted the significance of the London Coliseum as a venue originally designed for large family variety shows.
The creative team further comprises Ash Jacks McCready as creative and staging director, Kirsty White as creative director, and Enzo Weyne as illusion director. The production is co-produced by Runaway Entertainment, BOS Productions, and Timothy Laczynski.
Following successful engagements in Sydney and Singapore, this London run marks the UK premiere, with tickets going on general sale from 1 April 2026. The show’s combination of illusions and high-tech effects aims to attract a broad audience to the West End this summer.
