As audiences gear up for a delightful experience, the enchanting play Rabbits Out of the Hat is set to embark on its UK tour starting May 10, 2026, at Jackson’s Lane in London. Created by the talented Magic Circle magicians, Christopher Howell and Desireé Kongerød, known for their captivating performances as Norvil & Josephine, this whimsical musical magic show promises a blend of breathtaking illusions, infectious comedy, and stunning circus skills that will entertain audiences of all ages.

A Journey of Discovery and Empowerment

The narrative, set in the charming backdrop of 1905, follows the dynamic siblings Norvil and Josephine. As Josephine becomes aware of the burgeoning suffragette movement, she embarks on a quest to redefine her role beyond that of an assistant. This comic battle of wills not only entertains but also prompts reflections on identity and self-expression in a world eager to enforce conformity. The profound yet lighthearted theme is a poignant reminder of the importance of finding one’s voice and the courage to challenge societal expectations.

Mesmerizing Magic and Music

In addition to the heartwarming story, audiences can look forward to a spectacular showcase of astonishing magic tricks that provide a contemporary twist on classic stage illusions. The show's background score, composed by New York’s Micah Young, further elevates the experience, while the creative input from industry veterans such as Susan Earl and Jeff McBride enriches the production.

Christopher Howell and Desireé Kongerød reflect on their creation, stating, “While Rabbits Out of the Hat offers a feel-good Vaudevillian romp, it also delves into the comic struggles of its characters. Their fight for self-discovery feels timely and relevant, ensuring the narrative remains engaging and vibrant, maintaining a high-energy pace that leaves audiences buoyant and inspired.”

As Rabbits Out of the Hat prepares to unveil its magic, it promises not just a show, but a joyous celebration of art, identity, and the spirit of adventure, touching hearts and igniting imaginations—a must-see for all!
