Now You See Me Live: The Horsemen cast revealed for West End stage show

LONDON — The “Four Horsemen” are officially heading to the West End. Lionsgate has unveiled the world-class cast of magicians set to lead the stage spectacular Now You See Me Live during its upcoming five-week residency at the London Coliseum.

Starting on 31 July 2026, the production will bring the high-stakes world of the multi-million dollar film franchise to life. The announcement follows a string of sold-out international performances, including a record-breaking run at the Sydney Opera House.

A New Generation of Illusionists

Leading the ensemble is French illusionist Enzo Weyne, a Britain’s Got Talent alumnus who has performed in over 40 countries and regarding as one of the leading figures shaping modern magic. Joining him is Italian escapologist Andrew Basso, the first Italian to hold the Escape Champion World Title and a veteran of Broadway’s The Illusionists.

The lineup is rounded out by two fast-rising stars: Gabriella Lester, a 22-year-old South African magician who gained fame for completing Houdini’s suspended straitjacket escape at just 14, and award-winning British storyteller Matthew Pomeroy, fresh off a record-breaking Las Vegas residency.

From Screen to Stage

The show arrives on the heels of the franchise’s latest cinematic entry, Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, which premiered in theatres last November. While the films utilised camera tricks and CGI, the live production relies on what creators describe as a “mind-blowing spectacle” of high-tech illusions and solo stunts.

The production is a collaboration between Lionsgate and the creative minds behind The Illusionists, Simon Painter and Tim Lawson. According to the producers, the show aims to deliver the same “unmatched synergy” seen in the films through a mix of grand-scale magic and immersive storytelling.

Magicians and film fans alike have a limited window to catch the spectacle. The show is scheduled for a strictly limited run at the London Coliseum, playing from 31 July to 6 September 2026.
