This performance was a bit disappointing, honestly. Maybe because my expectations were so high? Maybe because there was hardly any magic. Harry Houdini is a world renowned name that basically everyone knows; therefore, I thought the play should’ve had a bit more effort put into it than about 5 actors playing 10 roles. The stage was set up like bleachers watching a sport, sort of like The Liar was. I guess overall it wasn’t so bad. I got some pretty decent information about Houdini and his family, although his father’s spirit randomly speaking was borderline creepy. Their dialogue was kind of funny, if you cared to pay attention to the non-magic show. And I could tell the actors put a lot of effort into making the show mechanically flawless. But Houdini was the most famous magician of all time so I don’t understand how they created an entire 90 minute show without any magic tricks.

 

Did I mention there was no magic? L
