Cast announced for Derren Brown’s Unbelievable in the West End

Casting has been announced for new Derren Brown show Unbelievable in London’s West End.

From the mind of Derren Brown and described as “a magic show like no other”, Unbelievable will begin performances at Criterion Theatre on 19 September 2023 with tickets on sale now here.

After decades of appearing on stage solo, this will be the first-ever time that one of Derren’s shows will be performed by a cast rather than himself.

Making up the company are Samuel Creasey, Simon Lipkin and Yolanda Ovide joined by musicians Laura Andresen Guimarães, Izalni Batista Nascimento Junior, Alexander Bean and Hannah Price.

Completing the company are understudies Samuel Brenton, Emily Redlaff and Rhys Shone.

Derren Brown said: “This cast has been hand selected for their range of talents and skills. It’s no mean feat casting a show that requires performers to act, dance, and perform magic, and this exciting young cast will no-doubt be able to transport people into a totally new theatrical world.”
