Jamie Raven Live

Newcastle Tyne Theatre and Opera House

The Tyne Theatre and Opera House are thrilled to announce that Jamie Raven will be bringing a touch of magic to Newcastle next summer!

Jamie Raven burst onto an unsuspecting world during the 2015 series of Britain’s Got Talent. His magic amazed audiences and even made Simon Cowell exclaim, “I now finally believe in magic!”

Jamie has been perfecting his craft over the past 11 years working as a magician around the world and his ambition was always to take it to a wider audience and BGT finally gave him that chance.  His online videos from Britain’s Got Talent have now been seen over 100 million times, making him one of the most viewed magicians in the world.

Since finishing BGT, Jamie is headlining in The Illusionists at The Shaftesbury Theatre in London’s West End and is excited to start on his own UK theatre tour in June and July 2016.

So, sit back, relax and let Jamie Raven show you some of the magic that he has astounded audiences with around the world.

Preview - Derren Brown at Sunderland Empire

Derren Brown returns with a Brand New Show in 2015

Sunderland Empire – Monday 25^th – Saturday 30^th May 2015

The multi-award winning acknowledged master of psychological illusion is back on tour in 2015 with a brand new one-man show.

Having confessed that performing live on stage gives him the greatest pleasure, Derren is, once again, looking forward to the challenge that comes with being acknowledged as one of the world’s most renowned live performers; a dark manipulator of magic and mind control.

Derren comments: “It’s always a bit disarming having people tweet pictures of their tickets they’ve saved up for when I have no idea what’s going to happen after I walk out on stage. I have a sense of the overall sweep of the show and what it will be about, but ultimately I prefer to let the show speak for itself”.

This will be Derren’s seventh show since 2003. Since then he has toured every year and been watched by an estimated audience of over one and a half million people. He has won two prestigious Olivier Awards, for SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES (2006) and SVENGALI (2012). His last show, INFAMOUS, was universally acclaimed by critics and audience alike.

Daily Mail

THIS PRODUCTION IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 12 YEARS OF AGE.
