The Illusionists — Turn of the Century has switched its upcoming Broadway home. The show will run November 25-January 1 at Broadway's Palace Theatre, not the previously announced Lunt-Fontanne Theatre.

Designed to transport audiences back to the golden age of magic, the production will showcase the origins of some of the greatest and most dangerous illusions ever built. It also unveils never-before-seen experiments drawn from a treasure trove of long-forgotten mysteries.

The show will feature performances by Dana Daniels (The Charlatan), Charlie Frye (The Eccentric), Mark Kalin (The Showman), Jinger Leigh (The Conjuress), Thommy Ten and Amélie van Tass (The Clairvoyants), Justo Thaus Jin (The Grand Carlini), and Rick Thomas (The Immortal), joined by returning audience favorite Jonathan Goodwin (The Daredevil).

The Illusionists was previously seen on Broadway in the 2015-16 season in The Illusionists — Live on Broadway and in 2014-15 season in The Illusionists — Witness the Impossible. The Palace is currently home to An American in Paris, which closes on October 9. The venue has also welcomed acts by Judy Garland, Liza Minnelli, and many others.
