Rather than being a biography, Houdini – told in a contemporary tone – tells the story of an epic battle that took place between the world's greatest illusionist and a trio of women, known as 'Spiritualists,' who convinced millions of people, including the editors of Scientific American and The New York Times, that they could communicate with the dead.
The writing team was in flux throughout development. Glenn Slater was originally involved as lyricist. He was replaced by David Yazbek. Danny Elfman was the original choice for composer. However, Stephen Schwartz eventually wrote the score. In January 2013, bookwriter Aaron Sorkin left the show due to scheduling conflicts.
