Man of Magic – 1966 Original London Cast

Description

Houdini was played by Stuart Damon whose strong voice and touch welcome sense of humor humanize Houdini and whose matinee idol looks make up for a script that never really grapples with the enigma of the real man. 

There have been so many planned musicals about Harry Houdini through the years; remember the one that was to star Hugh Jackman and to be written by Stephen Schwartz ? So tantalizing, but something about the Harry Houdini’s life and persona defeats writers. Houdini died on Halloween, what script could possibly top that? Damon’s pop album from the late 1960’s is also included.
