Five magicians. Five agendas. One magic box. Who will open it in this lively, sexy new musical?

Why did the recently deceased Amazing Jack leave all his magic props to his incompetent apprentice, Charlie? Jack even left Charlie the magic box, a powerful instrument intended for good that has the misfortune of attracting evildoers. Jack’s daughter, Laura, a young but skillful magician, must protect the box from an oversexed witch who refuses to get old and who shares some shocking family secrets.

Laura desperately wants a family or at least a friend. But who can she trust? Armando, her former Latin lover who has been seduced by the dark side? Merlin (no, not that Merlin!), her late father’s best friend? Will Laura find the power to turn the tables or will evil triumph? Where is the magic? Come see Magic Box to find out!

“I had a ball writing Magic Box,” exclaims Scalli. “Five magicians deceiving one another as much as they deceive their audiences, what could be more fun as the connections keep unfolding?”

“I found our actual magic box prop in an antique store upstate and it called out to me to be discovered...inside were marriage/personal papers from a couple from the 40s. Apparently, their love story needed to live on in some way. I'm thrilled to bring new life to the mysteries, sensuality, and endurance of the stories past and present that bind us,” says director, Piccoli.

The production stars Cambria Klein as Laura, Dani Wergiles as Charlie, Sonya Hernández as Danielle, Kevin Luís as Armando, Matthew James Fitzgerald as Merlin, Kristina Dizon as Ensemble/Understudy, and Marcel McKenzie as Ensemble/Understudy.

Executive produced by Jeremy Handelman (two-time Tony Award-nominated producer,The Kite Runner, John Leguizamo’s Latin History for Morons, On The Town (revival)), the production features music direction/arrangement by Seth Weinstein (Save the World, Find True Love in 90 Minutes), and costume design by Jess Gersz (Dodger Theatricals, Troika Entertainment…). Publicity by Katie Rosin/Kampfire PR.
