After originally announcing a 22-city run from September 4 to October 6, 2025, the producers revealed that 11 more cities would be included due to high demand and the show’s immense popularity. The expanded list now features stops in Toronto, Buffalo, Portland (Maine), Boston, Red Bank, Wilmington, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, Dallas, Phoenix, and Anaheim.

The production will play prominent venues such as Town Hall in New York City, Lincoln Theatre in Washington, D.C., and the Riviera Theatre in Chicago, in addition to the newly announced cities .
‘Hokus Pokus Live!’ isn’t just a drag show—it’s a fully scripted, theatrical spectacle that blends comedy, music, and dazzling live performance.

The production is known for its “hauntingly hilarious comedy, powerhouse vocals, and a dash of magic,” creating an immersive experience for audiences of all backgrounds .
