DER GROSSE HOUDINI in Germany

It's been a big year for Houdini in Germany. Not only did we see a major new documentary, but a new Houdini stage musical, DER GROSSE HOUDINI (The Great Houdini), premiered on October 24, 2014 at the Theater Hof in Hof, Germany.

Houdini is played by Chris Murray (right). Bess is played by Cornelia Löhr.
