From the Producers of The Illusionists, and inspired by Lionsgate’s worldwide blockbuster film franchise, comes the London premiere of Now You See Me Live.
The acclaimed stage illusion spectacular has captivated audiences across the globe, bringing magic to life with an explosive mix of high-tech illusions, solo stunts and jaw-dropping spectacles.
For a strictly limited five-week summer season at the iconic London Coliseum, four world-class illusionists will unite as The Horsemen, transforming the magic of the films into a live stage spectacle with never-before-seen feats of wonder.
Collectively, these illusionists have performed thousands of shows in hundreds of cities, including sell-out residencies on Broadway and across Australia, Asia and Las Vegas — leaving audiences spellbound and questioning the very limits of possibility.
📍 Venue Description: The **London Coliseum** is one of the largest and most iconic theatres in the West End, celebrated for its grand architecture and world-class opera, ballet, and musical productions. As the home of the English National Opera (ENO), the Coliseum delivers a rich programme of artistic excellence in an awe-inspiring setting.

### **The history of the London Coliseum**
Opened in 1904, the London Coliseum was designed by legendary theatre architect Frank Matcham with the goal of being “the people’s palace of entertainment.” It was one of the most technically advanced theatres of its time, boasting a revolving stage and a lavishly decorated auditorium.
Originally intended for music hall and variety performances, the Coliseum transitioned into a major venue for film screenings and wartime entertainment before becoming the permanent home of the English National Opera in 1968. Over the years, it has also hosted ballet, plays, and large-scale musicals including Chess, Bat Out of Hell, and Hairspray.
The theatre’s striking Baroque façade, topped with a distinctive revolving globe, and its lavish Edwardian interior make it a landmark in London’s theatrical landscape.
