IMPOSSIBLE Tickets

When turning up to see Impossible last week, I didn’t quite know what to expect. But my friend and I were immediately swept up in the fun and exciting atmosphere of the occasion. 

Daring with enough cheese thrown in to make it a fun night Impossible returns to the West End with a variety of new magicians and daredevils. It is a variety of magic show rather than a magic or variety show but it takes a long while to build.

Impossible, currently playing a very limited run at the Noel Coward Theatre in London, is a superbly confusing display of illusions and tricks. Even for a bit of a cynic, like myself, the show is undeniably impressive. The great thing about Impossible is that it features all sorts of tricks – from cards, to mind-reading, to large stunts (and a lot of fire). So, whether there is a specific sort of “magic” that you particularly enjoy, or if you want to see a bit of everything and decide what you like later, this show will do the job. It is fast-paced, exciting, and confusing – perfect!

In a way there’s something appealingly old fashioned about this show at the Noel Coward Theatre; like a return to my childhood when variety and summer seasons were so popular with audiences, and, along with panto, ignited my own lifelong love of theatre.
