Thirty years after their New York premiere and 40 years after they first started as a team, Penn & Teller On Broadway will be a rare opportunity for New Yorkers and tourists to see the popular duo. The Broadway engagement will include both elements of their Las Vegas show and classics from their repertoire. BroadwayWorld caught up with the pair during a recent preview of their show at 54 Below and you can check out photo coverage from the special event below!
Penn & Teller will immediately return to their record-breaking Las Vegas run at The Rio at the end of the Broadway engagement. They were recently voted the 2015 Best Magicians for the eighth time in the Las Vegas Review-Journal's "Best of Las Vegas" poll.
Penn & Teller on Broadway will play from July 7 - August 16, at the Marquis Theatre (46th Street between Broadway and 8th). The production's opening night has been confirmed for July 12.
Penn & Teller made their stunning off-Broadway debut in 1985 and first played Broadway in 1987. Following a national tour, they returned to Broadway in 1991 with The Refrigerator Tour which then moved off-Broadway. Their last New York stage appearance was a week-long engagement at the Beacon Theatre in 2000. Their numerous honors include an Obie Award, an Emmy, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
