Repaired closed tears; B. Tony-nominated musical The Magic Show ushered in a new era of modern stage magic. Doug Henning, its star, dressed and acted without pretense or stiffness. He had a flower child-like innocence and wonder (and style of dress) that was at once relatable and endearing. It was this personal charm, combined with a strong choice of material, that helped catapult Henning to worldwide fame. The Magic Show ran for four and a half years on Broadway at the Cort Theatre.
