Derren Brown: Showman Tickets London

Derren Brown returns to London's West End this December with his smash-hit Showman. Fresh off a universally acclaimed 155-date national tour, which ends October 2022, Brown brings his unique brand of uplifting magical genius to the Apollo Theatre from 9 December 2022. Showman is Brown’s most personal show to date. The contents remain undisclosed but he has revealed: “The heart of the show is about remembering what’s important. Particularly how the very things that we find most isolating in life - our fears and difficulties - actually connect us, in that they’re the very things we share. Framed, of course, with some extraordinary demonstrations of my particular voodoo”. Derren’s live shows have won him two prestigious Olivier Awards – for Something Wicked This Way Comes (2006) and Svengali (2012) and he has won and been nominated for more Olivier awards than any other one-man show in theatre history. Other West End shows include Infamous (2017) and Miracle (2015) at the Palace Theatre, Best of Derren Brown (2017) and Underground (2017) at the Playhouse Theatre. Tickets for Showman at the Apollo Theatre on sale soon. Derren Brown: Showman runs from 9 December 2022 until 19 March 2023 at the Apollo Theatre, London.

Derren Brown and Barney Norris are developing a new stage adaptation of HG Wells' science fiction novel The Invisible Man. Commonly referred to as 'The Master of Illusion', Brown will create the illusions and onstage believability for The Invisible Man, whilst playwright and novelist Norris (Nightfall, Bridge Theatre; The Remains of the Day, Out of Joint) will write the book. Brown is best known for his television and stage shows, the two-time Olivier Award winner has mesmerised millions worldwide with his unique brand of mind reading, persuasion, and psychological illusion. His New York debut in 2019 Derren Brown: Secret, produced by J.J. Abrams, was a smash-hit and he was due to embark on a pre-covid UK tour in 2020 with Showman. Considered one of the foundational works in modern science fiction, the story follows a reclusive scientist who makes himself invisible and attempts to unleash a reign of terror on the town where he is staying. The story was recently adapted into a critically acclaimed, and more importantly scary horror film starring Elizabeth Moss (The Handmaid's Tale, Shirley, Mad Men) and Oliver Jackson-Cohen (The Haunting of Hill House). The play is produced by PR Productions and will premiere in the UK next autumn. Joint chief executives of PW Productions, Peter Wilson and Iain Gillie, said: "Since our first meeting with Derren Brown in 2019, we’ve been really excited about this project. We know that in the hands of Derren and Barney Norris, it is going to be a completely compelling and thrilling piece of theatre." Casting, dates, venue for The Invisible Man to be announced.

The 2020 UK tour of Derren Brown's highly anticipated Showman has been postponed to 2021 as a result of the ongoing UK theatre industry covid-19 shutdown.

All existing tickets purchased for Showman remain valid and customers will be contacted directly by their individual venues. Derren Brown said: “We were all ready to open Showman when the tour had to be postponed. Now, after sitting around in my pants for months I am so, so eager to get this show on the road. I’m hugely grateful to everyone who bought tickets and then was told they had to wait. Let’s get together and have hug and a party”. Showman is Brown's first new show to tour in six years with the content of the performance remaining a closely guarded secret. The Olivier award winning master of illusion previously said “the show will ultimately be about you, the audience member, because that’s what I find most interesting. There are some places I’d like to take the audience where we haven’t been before, and I always aim to have it deliver more than you’d expect.” The new tour dates in full:February 22 - 28 Orchard Theatre, DARTFORDMarch 2 - 6 New Theatre, OXFORDMarch 9 - 13 Victoria Theatre, WOKINGMarch 23 - 27 Theatre Royal, PLYMOUTHMarch 30 – April 3 His Majesty’s Theatre, ABERDEENApril 13 - 17 Empire Theatre, SUNDERLANDApril 20 - 24 New Theatre, HULLApril 27 – May 1 Grand Theatre, LEEDSMay 4 - 8 Marlowe Theatre, CANTERBURYMay 25 – 29 Grand Theatre, LEEDSJune 1 – June 5 Pavilion, BOURNE MOUTHJune 6 - 19 The Lowry, SALFORD QUAYSJune 22 – 26 Grand Theatre, WOLVERHAMPTONJune 29 – July 3 Theatre Royal, NORWICHJuly 6 - 10 Milton Keynes Theatre, MILTON KEYNESJuly 13 – 17 Cliffs Pavilion, SOUTHEND UPDATE: Showman will run at the Apollo Theatre in London from 9 December 2022 until 19 March 2023.
