EXCLUSIVE: Famed illusionists Penn & Teller will celebrate 50 years together with a one-night-only show at New York’s Radio City Music Hall this summer.

Set for Thursday August 21, the performance also will mark the 40th anniversary of the New York stage show that launched the duo into stardom.

“We started our careers as street performers,” said Penn Jillette, “then we moved to Off Broadway’s Westside Theatre, then to Broadway and now we finally move to the other side of Sixth Avenue to bring our 50th anniversary tour to the iconic Radio City Music Hall. If we keep moving eastward, we will eventually play the river.”

The show will be produced by The Bowery Presents, Richard Frankel, Marc Routh, Steve Baruch, & Tom Viertel in association with Glenn S. Alai. (Frankel, Routh, Viertel and Baruch are the same producing team who brought Penn & Teller to New York in 1985).

Penn & Teller began performing their innovative magic-comedy act – performances that have celebrated illusion while occasionally deconstructing it – on the streets of Philadelphia, eventually moving to sold-out runs on Broadway. They would become what’s considered the longest-running resident headline act in Las Vegas history.

Their Off Broadway debut in 1985 was embraced by audiences and acclaimed by critics (they famously won an Obie Award for “whatever it is they do”). A New York Times’ rave helped send the show to Broadway in 1987, and their Broadway debut was followed by two additional Broadway shows, most recently 2015’s Penn & Teller On Broadway.

The duo can currently be seen in the CW Network’s Penn & Teller: Fool Us!, in which up-and-comers and veterans try to fool Penn & Teller for a chance to appear in their Las Vegas stage show. The series has been renewed for an 11th season. Their 2003-2010 Showtime series Penn & Teller: Bullshit! was nominated for 13 Emmys and was the longest-running series in the history of the network.
