Rob Lake Magic With Special Guests The Muppets begins performances on October 28 and officially opens November 6. The show runs through January 18, 2026.

“I’ve been performing magic my entire life, and it has always been my greatest dream to perform my show on Broadway,” said Lake in a statement. “Like so many people around the world, I grew up with The Muppets. To work with them and create new illusions for them to appear in my show has been the most rewarding and surprisingly familiar moment. It’s like I have known them my entire life.”
Rob Lake rose to fame on America’s Got Talent in 2018 and has since toured over 60 countries. He has designed illusions for Broadway productions such as Aladdin and Death Becomes Her, and served as creative consultant for Adele’s Las Vegas residency. In 2008, he became the youngest magician to win the Merlin Award for International Stage Magician of the Year.
The production team includes creative consultant Bethany Pettigrew and script consultant Kevin Zak. The show is produced by Rob Lake Productions, Joe Quenqua, and Glass Half Full Productions, with Wagner Johnson Productions as executive producers.
“After years of touring the world, we are so excited that Broadway audiences will finally get to marvel at the exceptional talents of Rob Lake,” said producers Joe Quenqua and Gareth Lake. “Pairing his mind-blowing illusions with The Muppets and their singular classic humor is truly a dream come true—for all of us!”
Kermit summed it up best: “There is nothing like live theater in New York City.”
