Derren Brown: Secret Broadway Reviews | What The Critics Think<\/h2>\n

\u201cA larger theater here \u2014 and potentially on tour \u2014 simply means there\u2019s more marks happily willing to join this community of fools. That shared sense of surprise is just part of the fun of the show; the other part is its down-to-earth thesis that offers a glimmer of false hope that the ruse can fail.\u201d – Variety<\/a> on the 2019 Broadway Production \u201cThis one-mentalist show, in which Mr. Brown peers into the minds of his audience, offers exhilaration and comfort to New York City\u2019s head cases.” – NY Times<\/a> on the 2019 Broadway Production \u201cThe show, directed by Andy Nyman and Andrew O’Connor, who co-wrote the material with Brown, is infused with a theatrical polish that makes its substantial running time fly by. By the time it’s over, you’ll be thrilled you’ve been so oblivious to the evening’s devilish machinations that you somehow didn’t see a man in a gorilla suit snatching a banana from a podium onstage in plain view. Not once, but twice.” – The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> on the 2019 Broadway Production \u201cStunning. Captivating. Thoroughly entertaining from start to finish. Etc. Even his previous Netflix specials can\u2019t quite capture the dizzying buzz of watching him do what he does in person.” – Deadline<\/a> on the 2019 Broadway Production<\/p>\n
