The Suffolk presents “Chris Funk: Redefining Wonder” on Saturday, May 20, at 8 p.m. The show is an engaging and visceral multimedia experience — a magic show with live music — that leaves audiences talking and scratching their heads for years to come. Presenting a violin concerto and a guitar loop recorded live on stage has put this show into a league of its own. The live-feed camera and interactive videos bring audiences up onstage and into the action, delivering a show that family audiences can call their own.
Chris Funk has spent the last 15 years traveling the world, performing for theaters, cruise ships and on television. From NBC’s “America’s Got Talent,” Fox’s “Hell’s Kitchen,” CW’s “Penn & Teller: Fool Us” and “Masters of Illusion” as well as Syfy’s “Wizard Wars,” this magician’s unique approach to magic has garnered him performances at Las Vegas’ Planet Hollywood and Tropicana casinos. Whether it’s Sri Lanka, Chile, Los Angeles, New York, Las Vegas, the middle of the ocean, or the Midwest, Funk’s show has garnered standing ovations and a reputation for excellence.
Tickets are $39 to $59 at thesuffolk.org. Suffolk Theater is at 118 East Main Street, Riverhead.
