It's the most wonderful magical time of the year! The international troupe of magicians known as The Illusionists are back on Broadway with their latest holiday engagement and a new cast. The Illusionists - Magic of the Holidays begins performances at the Neil Simon Theatre today and is scheduled to run through January 5, 2020.

This year's company includes "America's Got Talent" semi-finalists Dom Chambers and Eric Chien (aka "The Showman" and "The Manipulator," respectively), following their recent, impressive runs on the 14th season of the popular talent show, alongside "The Mentalist" Chris Cox, "The Trickster" Paul Dabek, "The Inventor" Kevin James, and "The Unforgettable" Enzo Weyne. There will also be an appearance by special guests VERBA Shadow Theatre (who also previously appeared on "America's Got Talent") at every performance.

Synopsis: "Back in New York by popular demand for a strictly limited run, this mind-blowing holiday spectacular showcases the jaw dropping talents of seven of the most incredible illusionists on earth. The Illusionists has shattered box office records across the globe and dazzles audiences of all ages with a powerful mix of the most outrageous and astonishing acts ever to be seen on stage. This non-stop show is packed with thrilling and sophisticated magic of unprecedented proportions."

Having previously made their Broadway debut at the Marquis Theatre in 2014 with "Witness the Impossible," before returning to New York with "Live on Broadway" at the Neil Simon Theatre in 2015, "Turn of the Century" at the Palace Theatre in 2016, and the first edition of "Magic of the Holidays" at the Marquis Theatre in 2018, The Illusionists are certainly no strangers to the Great White Way. They have also entertained audiences in London's West End, as well as in cities across the United States and Canada, and have made a variety of televised appearances, including "Magic Castle," "The Royal Variety Performance," and "America's Got Talent."

The Illusionists - Magic of the Holidays is directed by Neil Dorward and produced on Broadway by Simon Painter, Tim Lawson, MagicSpace Entertainment, and Kilburn Live.

The Illusionists - Magic of the Holidays Tickets are available now for performances through January 5, 2020.
