Tricks and Giggles: An Evening of Magic and Musical Comedy @ New Spire Arts

A “double feature” of two smash 2024 Capital Fringe shows, SEVEN WONDERS and TOM LEHRER IS ALIVE AND WELL AND HAS GIVEN AWAY ALL RIGHTS TO HIS MUSIC.

SEVEN WONDERS

WINNER OF BEST SOLO SHOW! Seven Wonders is a theatrical magic show featuring curated magic and intimate illusions presented by award winning magician Ryan Phillips. Exploring his personal relationship to the Art of Magic, this one man immersive experience features unbelievable true stories, unique magic ephemera, and audience participation to demonstrate sleight of hand, illusion, and theatrical mind reading.

Reviews:

“Ryan Phillips’ charm and charisma is as captivating as his illusions, and audience members will find themselves hanging onto his every word!.. He made us want to believe in magic, and in this high-tech age that is even more of a wonder… Spectacular! Literally.” – DC Theater Arts (Best of Fringe Critic’ Pick)

TOM LEHRER IS ALIVE AND WELL AND HAS GIVEN AWAY ALL RIGHTS TO HIS MUSIC

DCTA BEST OF FRINGE PICK! Just a guy and a piano plundering the satirical genius of Tom Lehrer, who released all of his work into the public domain. A new play from Landless Theatre Company that asks just how “timeless” is Lehrer’s comedy, anyway? Written and performed by Landless’ Producing Artistic Director Andrew Lloyd Baughman. Featuring classic the Lehrer tunes “Poisoning Pigeons In The Park,” “The Masochism Tango,” and more.

Reviews:

“A genial [new] musical that will tickle longtime fans of Lehrer’s sharp wit and dark humor and pique the interest of newbies too…” -DC Theater Arts (Critic’s Pick)

“Spend an hour hearing a talented and engaging performer sing the standouts from the Lehrer songbook… Baughman’s production is an homage to a master, and he clearly reveres both Lehrer and his work.” – MD Theater Guide
