Delusion Announces The Blue Blade - Director's Cut

Los Angeles, CA

Ready for more time travelling immersive theater fantasy, Delusionals? Last fall, Delusion returned with a spectacular new interactive play in the form of Delusion: The Blue Blade. This sci-fi adventure was a bit of a departure from Delusion’s previous horror-centric productions, but it was the most elaborate and complex yet for Jon Braver and his company, and its most successful! On our long list of Halloween season attractions, The Blue Blade was one of our favorites.

For those who missed last year’s event, there’s good news. Delusion is putting on its first-ever spring production, a revamped version of The Blue Blade that promises new surprises and challenges that will lend a different experience than the original. So even for those who played in Delusion last year, the 2019 version promises a fresh production. Go get your tickets today!

DELUSION AND THE GREAT COMPANY ANNOUNCE DELUSION: THE BLUE BLADE - DIRECTOR’S CUT FOR SPRING, A REMIXED VERSION OF ITS POPULAR FALL SHOW

(LOS ANGELES, CA, January 22, 2019) — Coming off one of the most successful runs of its shows ever, Delusion, the vanguard of interactive theater, has announced that the spring 2019 extension of its new, original play Delusion: The Blue Blade, will be a “Director’s Cut” and will bring with it a number of exciting changes that are sure to captivate current fans of the Delusion Universe and newcomers alike. Highlights of the spring show include new plot twists, new audience challenges, new artifacts, new actors, and more. To tease the new show, Delusion has also released a brand new trailer. Individual and group tickets are now available at www.enterdelusion.com. 

From visionary creator Jon Braver and The Great Company comes Delusion: The Blue Blade, an Indiana Jones meets Blade Runner-style adventure that invites guests in groups of eight to a world left erratic since the disappearance of the rare artifact, The Blue Blade. Once held by The Safeguard Society, an elite group of historians, the sacred blade was stolen by Professor Evelyn Lowell… one of their own. The fate of time and space hang in the balance as Evelyn and the blade slip further away. As a sign of desperation, The Safeguard Society looks to you and your friends — their most promising initiates — to track down Evelyn and The Blue Blade. Rumored to be underground and protected by a strange cult, Evelyn’s disappearance had created more questions than answers. Now it’s time to play your part (#playyourpart) in the most transformative theatrical production of its kind.

“We’re really excited about the extension of this sixth story in the Delusion Universe,” said Jon Braver, creator of Delusion. “This is the first time we’ve extended a show beyond the fall season. We’re confident this show in particular can transcend any one season. Plus, changes are afoot, as Prof Evelyn Lowell has manipulated time in ways she could never have imagined, which means the show will offer something new and exciting for those who have seen it before as well as brand new Delusionals.”

Heralded by NPR as the “hottest ticket in town”, Delusion has captivated sold-out audiences since its first play opened in 2011, transforming them into characters inside a living, breathing, dark world of epic interactive storytelling.Delusion: The Blue Blade marks the first show for which there will be corporate pricing, group discounts, and a VIP package that includes a behind-the-scenes tour. There is now also a Wait List for fans who want to show up on a given night and fill in for no-shows. All of these additions bring the production to an even broader audience, including those who have never experienced Delusion or interactive theater before.Tickets start at $95. Past seasons have sold out quickly, so we are urging guests to book tickets while they are still available.
