Prepare to be Amazed: 'Rabbits Out of the Hat' Takes the UK by Storm!
The magical duo of Christopher Howell and Desireé Kongerød, known as Norvil & Josephine, are set to captivate audiences across the UK with their enchanting show 'Rabbits Out of the Hat.' This delightful vaudevillian musical magic show is scheduled to kick off its tour at Jackson’s Lane on May 10th, running until July 25th.
A Whimsical Journey
'Rabbits Out of the Hat' promises to blend breathtaking illusions with show-stopping songs, comedy, and stunning circus skills, all wrapped up in a charming storyline set in 1905. The show tells the tale of Norvil, a formidable magician, and his dutiful sister, Josephine, whose life takes a turn when she discovers the suffragette movement. This awakening leads to a comical battle of wills as the siblings challenge each other and themselves, exploring the themes of identity and agency in an age-old struggle.
Star-Studded Production Team
The creative efforts behind this show are equally impressive, featuring music from acclaimed New York composer Micah Young and direction from notable figures such as Martin McDougall and Abigail Dooley. With contributions from seasoned professionals in comedy and magic, including comedy writer Susan Earl and magic consultant Jeff McBride, the production promises both laughter and marvel.
A Timely Exploration
Howell and Kongerød explain the deeper significance of their work, stating, “While many magic shows stop at the spectacle, the real surprise here is the comical struggles of the two characters fighting to find their own voices in a world that demands they stick to the script.” Their message, although set in the early 20th century, is resonant for today's audiences, making this show not only entertaining but also thought-provoking.
As the show embarks on its tour, it aims to leave audiences with a sense of joy and reflection, proving that magic can indeed be a powerful medium for exploring contemporary issues. 'Rabbits Out of the Hat' is certainly a show not to be missed!
