Penn & Teller Recoups on Broadway Before Ending Limited Engagement

Penn & Teller On Broadway has recouped its $2.85 million capitalization. The legendary magic duo began performances at the Marquis Theatre on July 7. They disappear from Broadway on August 16 at the Marquis Theatre to head back to Las Vegas.

Though the two end their Broadway stint later this month, magic won’t be too far from the Great White Way. The Illusionists - Live on Broadway will begin performances at the Neil Simon Theatre on November 19. The group played the Marquis Theatre earlier this year, and the Gloria and Emilio Estefan musical On Your Feet! is scheduled to begin performances in the space on October 5.

Penn Jillette and one-name wonder Teller first appeared on Broadway in 1987, after they were a hit off-Broadway in 1985. They returned to the Great White Way in 1991 with The Refrigerator Tour. They served as the hosts of the British TV series Penn & Teller: Fool Us, which will be revived on The CW later this year.
