We love magic! We also love comedy! So it's no surprise when we wanted to see Penn and Teller on their limited engagement performance on Broadway. I can't find that many good photos of the show because so much of it is visual in motion. Magic doesn't really photograph well.
We enjoyed a lot of the tricks. There was even one that left us baffled. Penn changed an audience member INTO Teller. I don't know how it worked. Teller is probably one of the best slight of hands I have ever seen. They showed how old magic tricks work and made comedy out of it.
We had great seats row H of the orchestra, off to the right. When we walked in, Aaron said "oh this is the theater where we saw Wonderland. Ugh!" Poor Marquis theater. Such a bad wrap. We got in a fight with a fellow audience member who was upset that people wanted to leave the theater and make him stand up. He told us to go back to "fuckin' hicksville where you belong."
We live in Brooklyn.
Unfortunately, this fight is the last taste we get from the show and some of the tricks/audience members were really tragic. We would not recommend it to others. Aaron also wouldn't see them again. I would give them another chance in a different venue, better suited for an adult audience.
