Theater Review: JJAbrams is among the producers of this literally mind-blowing Broadway debut by the two-time Olivier Award-winning British mentalist, 'DerrenBrown: Secret'
The eponymous star doesn't make it easy on reviewers when it comes to writing about the Broadway production of. "Don't talk about anything that happens in the show," the British mentalist urges audience members and any journalists in attendance at the beginning of the evening. At least, I think he says that. Frankly, after being manipulated by this master of psychological illusion for two-and-half hours, I don't really trust any of my perceptions anymore.
You can be advised, however, not to take anything you see or hear at face value, including Brown's disingenuous claim, "I am always honest about my dishonesty." It would be more accurate to say that he's sometimes honest about his dishonesty, or even sometimes dishonest about his honesty. In any case, he plays the audience like a musical instrument, making us dance to his tune and making us all the more delighted when we're thoroughly befuddled.
There's no need to worry about being dragged onstage, although if you're terminally shy you will want to avoid catching any of the multiple Frisbees that Brown throws into the crowd for recruitment purposes. Not that he suffers from any shortage of volunteers, judging by the eager responses he elicits from audience members apparently desperate to have Brown reveal their innermost thoughts and deepest secrets to a roomful of strangers.
