He appears in the opening number 'No One Mourns the Wicked,' which serves as a flashback of Elphaba's birth.

Exclusive: Hello Dolly! Tickets Now On Sale!

Derren Brown's one-man shows have won two Olivier Awards and played to sold out houses on tour across the UK, in the West End and on Broadway. Now, with his long-time collaborators Andy Nyman and Andrew O'Connor, Derren* has created a new show starring a multi-talented cast of seven who will perform MAGIC LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN. 

A Spotlight On has announced its guests for the West End's first chat show coming to London this December.

Andy Nyman, Jenna Russell, Tyrone Huntley and Harry Hepple will join Imelda Staunton in Dominic Cooke's production of Hello Dolly, coming to London in 2024.

Imedla Staunton will lead a revival of Hello, Dolly! at the London Palladium in summer 2024.

Derren Brown calls his new production, Unbelievable, 'the magic show I've always wanted to see'. It's not only a show without Brown himself, but crucially (with the exception of Simon Lipkin) it is a magic show not performed by professional magicians. In fact, many members of their cast are making their West End debuts.

Tilted Wig brings a new perspective on the gothic chiller, Frankenstein, coming to Darlington Hippodrome for one week only in October. Learn more about the production and how to get tickets here!

BroadwayWorld UK had the chance to attend an invited rehearsal of magician Derren Brown’s newest show, Unbelievable.

National Geographic released a photo from the upcoming A SMALL LIGHT. Reflecting on the holiday’s themes of resistance, resilience and courage, it shows Miep and Jan Gies, the Frank family, the van Pels family, and Fritz Pfeffer in a scene from the show in which they gather to celebrate the Jewish Festival of Lights while hidden in the annex.

Ultimately, it's a show about human connection. Whether you trust your eyes or you don't, whether his deceptions work on you or don't, or if you simply take the evening as a fascinating social experiment or couples therapy, it's all about a shared experience. After the lockdowns, the face masks, the rampant deaths, it feels good to go into something open-heartedly and willing to be surprised. It's safe to say that Brown has another hit on his hands.
