A cartoon child with brown hair and a purple shirt stands joyfully, arms raised beneath magic icons—wand, cards, notes, dollar sign—amid sparkling clouds. Large yellow text beside them reads, “Shelly Shazam: A New Musical by Abby and Julia Segal.”.

Shelly Shazam: A New Musical by Abby and Julia Segal

March 19, 2026

Join us at 54 Below for a night of music and magic from the new musical Shelly Shazam, the new musical merging the worlds of musical theatre and magic from sisters Julia and Abby Segal! The musical tells the story of a young girl who discovers a passion for magic. This discovery lights a spark within Shelly, inspiring her to find the magic in everything she sees and spread the joy that it brings her to everyone she meets.

The evening will feature the songs and magic tricks of the musical, written by composer/producer Julia Segal and adapted from the children’s book Shelly Shazam, written by Abby Segal. The show celebrates creativity and wonder and encourages people of all ages, genders, and abilities to share the gifts we have within ourselves. This will be a one-of-a-kind concert and magic experience, with new musical theatre performed by an all-star cast and intimate and interactive close-up style magic performed by Abby, a Chicago-based magician and performer on the CW’s magic television series “Penn and Teller: Fool Us.”

Shelly Shazam teaches us that the magic is already inside each and every one of us – and it’s up to us to discover!

Music direction by Julia Segal.
