LAS VEGAS, Nevada, USA, June 16, 2026 — MGM Grand Theater has a new booking. MGM Resorts confirmed June 16 that Now You See Me Live, the stage adaptation of Lionsgate’s Now You See Me film franchise, will take the venue long associated with David Copperfield, who closed a 25-year residency there with a final performance April 30, for a limited season. Promoter Live Nation Las Vegas announced the booking, with tickets going on public sale Monday, June 22, through Ticketmaster.com for a run selling through January 5, 2027.
The engagement will mark the show’s U.S. premiere following a tour that included the Sydney Opera House, QPAC in Brisbane, and Crown Theatre in Perth from December 2025 through February 2026, along with a run at Singapore’s Sands Theatre from February 20 to March 8. The production is scheduled to play a five-week engagement at the London Coliseum from July 31 to September 6, ahead of its move to Las Vegas this fall.
The show’s Four Horsemen for the Las Vegas run are Andrew Basso of Italy, the first and youngest Italian to win the World Escape Championship; Gabriella Lester, a South African-born Canadian escape artist who appeared on Penn & Teller: Fool Us in 2022; Adam Trent, an American performer who is also a co-creator of the production; and French illusionist Enzo Weyne.
Simon Painter, the show’s creative producer, said in a statement that the cast was chosen for “combining their grand feats of illusion to create a show with truly mind-blowing artistry.” Jenefer Brown, Lionsgate’s president of global products and experiences, said the live show “blurs the line between illusion and reality, creating a deeper connection with fans.”
International runs of the production have been marketed as family-friendly and roughly two hours long, with an age policy of 5 and up and guests under 18 accompanied by an adult.
