Jamie Allan’s Amaze is an immersive and deeply personal theatrical experience now at New World Stages. The production blends cutting-edge technology with classic conjuring techniques, aiming to make audiences not just see the impossible but feel it happen by weaving personal stories into every illusion. After achieving international success, the show was “turbo-charged” for New York, with new illusions and an intensity tailored to Broadway’s unique energy. A significant element of the show is audience participation, where memories and even cell phones become part of the performance, blurring the line between performer and spectator. This collaborative effort, which includes a creative team beyond Allan himself, strives to leave a lasting impression on New York audiences, hoping to reignite a sense of childlike wonder and remind people that impossible things can be real.
