Broadway illusionist James More headlines Billionaire's exclusive Ramadan show in Dubai

Broadway illusionist James More headlines Billionaire's exclusive Ramadan show in Dubai

According to Billionaire's announcement, the acclaimed venue at Mandarin Oriental Downtown Dubai is presenting Wonder Between Sky and Spirit, a special Ramadan edition of its signature Up in the Sky show. Running nightly from Tuesday to Sunday during the holy month, this refined adaptation features internationally acclaimed Broadway illusionist James More alongside a voice-led narrative designed for Ramadan's reflective atmosphere.

What makes Wonder Between Sky and Spirit different?

In our experience covering Billionaire Dubai's regular Up in the Sky spectacle — which leans heavily into high-energy, visually bombastic showmanship — this Ramadan edition feels like a deliberate emotional gear-shift, trading spectacle-for-spectacle 's-sake for something more soulful and introspective. The show emphasises vocal artistry and intimate solo/duet performances, creating a contemplative atmosphere that aligns with Ramadan's spirit of reflection.

Several musical numbers are performed exclusively by vocalists, deepening the emotional intensity. The only dance performance, Heritage, has been reimagined as a flamenco-inspired piece that balances cultural respect with contemporary artistic expression. This creates moments of reflection before crescendos of collective energy unfold.

Who's performing in the Ramadan show?

Broadway illusionist James More headlines this Ramadan edition, bringing what Artistic Director Irma di Paola calls "enchantments that transport us to a world of awe." More's breathtaking performance adds a new dimension to the show's celestial narrative, where astonishment unfolds before guests' eyes.

Additional special acts include:

  • Duo Montico: High-tension aerial performance where trust becomes art
  • Rola Bola: A study in balance where motion transforms into stillness
  • Roller Skater: High-impact act combining speed, control, and adrenaline
  • Heritage: Flamenco-inspired dance adapted for Ramadan

"This Ramadan, Up in the Sky takes flight with a special edition celebrating spiritual renewal and the joy of coming together," explains di Paola. "Our DNA remains the same: lively, immersive interaction with the crowd, plunged into a Ramadan of lights and illusions beyond the stars."

The dining experience

From what we've seen at Billionaire's previous seasonal adaptations, the venue leans heavily on its theatrical spectacle to carry the experience, and while the Italian-Japanese fusion menu is undeniably impressive, it suits the cosmopolitan Dubai crowd looking for something glamorous during Ramadan rather than a deeply traditional Iftar experience.

The culinary offering unites fine Italian tradition with contemporary Japanese cuisine, with dining becoming part of the storytelling that extends the theatrical arc beyond the stage. The experience takes place in Billionaire's immersive amphitheatre staging on the 61st floor, suspended above the city.

For those exploring Dubai's dining scene during Ramadan, this represents a luxury entertainment night out with exceptional cuisine attached.

Wonder Between Sky and Spirit runs Tuesday to Sunday from 9pm to 3am during Ramadan. The venue is closed on Mondays. Located at Mandarin Oriental Downtown on the 61st floor of Wasl Tower, Albanny Street, Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai.
