The world premiere of Presto Change-O begins performances tonight at Barrington Stage Company.

The musical tells the story of a truly magical reunion. After years apart, the three generations of magicians find themselves under the same roof. Mixing with their illusions is real magic, which forces the trio to confront their past mistakes and re-examine what it means to be a family.

With book and lyrics by Eric Price and music by Joel Waggoner, the show features illusions by Joseph Wartnerchaney. Marc Bruni directs. Starring in the cast are Michael Rupert, Jenni Barber, Jarrod Spector, Barbara Walsh, Bob Walton, and Lenny Wolpe.

The creative team includes Vadim Feichter (music director), Chris Bailey (choreography), Derek McLane (set design), Alejo Vietti (costume design), Ken Billington (lighting design), Brad Berridge (sound design), McCorkle Casting Ltd. (casting), and Michael Andrew Rodgers (stage manager).

Performances will run through June 11.
