Positive from Theatrely:

https://www.theatrely.com/post/el-mago-pop-makes-you-believe-in-magic-again-review

"At a time when comic books mean green screens and Gwyneth Paltrow not caring to remember the Marvel films she stars in, or when the theatre’s own adaptation of Back to the Future is as bleak and unimaginative as the dollar would allow, El Mago Pop emerges as a brand ambassador for true wonderment. A helicopter might have appeared on a Broadway stage over 30 years ago, but Díaz makes its blink-and-it's-there reappearance cause for true celebration."

The Daily Beast is mixed:

"Díaz’s skills as an illusionist are faultless, but the show feels off-kilter as a piece of theater. Díaz feels impressively in charge of his tricks, but not the show as a show."

4 stars from Time Out:

"Broadway hasn’t hosted a magic show since before the pandemic shutdown, and it’s good to have some illusions again. For 75 delightful minutes, you may feel a little transported yourself. "

It's a really fun show but it's here for such a short time, it doesn't make much sense to review it extensively.

Did NYT not review it?

Are there any discounts for this? It's looking like their rush policy only applied to preview performances.
