On Wednesday, December 14th, THE ILLUSIONISTS - LIVE FROM BROADWAY had its media opening in Toronto and the critics heaped praise on the show for its creativity, entertainment value and sheer enjoyment. And audiences couldn't agree more, with the show already racking up many sold out performances in Toronto.
However, THE ILLUSIONISTS is in Toronto for a strictly limited four-week run during its already wildly successful international tour and cannot extend beyond its closing date of January 7, 2017 because of previously booked engagements. But the producers have found a way to add ten new performances to satisfy audience demand.
A Boxing Day evening performance and nine special 11 AM performances, which will be especially geared to family audiences during the holiday period, will provide an additional 14,000 new tickets. These new performances are available for sale as of today, Friday, December 16th.
This means that by the time THE ILLUSIONISTS ends its Canadian premiere engagement in Toronto, it will have had a total of 42 performances for 84,000 spectators -- setting a record for the highest number of performances in such a short period at the 2,000-seat Princess of Wales Theatre.

It's a mind blowing spectacular that showcases the jaw dropping talents of seven of the most incredible Illusionists on earth. With a powerful mix of the most outrageous and astonishing acts ever to be seen on stage, THE ILLUSIONISTS has shattered box office records across the globe and dazzles audiences of all ages .
