Magic Theater (Team Build)

Magic Theater is the 15th world in Plants vs. Zombies 2 that takes place in a theater framed as a play composed of multiple sets for the multiple acts. It was released in March 18th 2023, and its unlocked after beating Chomper's Candyland.
This worlds enviroment modifiers consist of cardboard cutouts of zombies, that will work as walls and defense for Zombies, and spotlights, that, after placing the spotlight on a Zombie, it will get boosted with speed and strength.
===Ambush===
The ambush in this world is "Showtime!", this causes a lot of Zombies to spawn and for multiple spotlights to light up on multiple Zombies, giving them all boosts, a lot of cardboard cutouts of Zombies and other props fall from the sky on random tiles, staying in said tile until they are destroyed.
==Origins==
Magic Theater is based on the concept of stage theaters with the plants and zombies themed around that concept and many jobs done with traditional theaters like the Director or the dresser, but also has movie themes too with Stunt Double Zombies.
This world also feels like a play in the sense that the levels feel like a show the Zombies are putting together. Evident by some of the attacks of certain zombies are either props or handled by the stage crew by moving them across the lawn or have a cardboard cutout launched through a rope holding it.

===Exclusive Brain Buster===
The exclusive Brain Buster for Magic Theater is Itmustabe This Way. 
The goal of this Brain Buster is to lead the Actor Zombies to the right sets by placing direction tiles onto the lawn that will take them to the correct set. The Actor Zombies would sport flags that show you where they need to go. Your givien a certain amount of sun to place the tiles, and watch out for Faux Plants. If any Faux Plant kills the Zombie, it’s game over.
Gameplay for this Brain Buster takes inspiration from the game ChuChu Rocket.
Itmustabe This Way is encountered on Day 6, Day 19 and Day 28.

The Endless Zone of the Magic Theater is The Epic Encore, which is unlocked by obtaining the activation key that is the Arctic Explorer Zombie's glowy stone but slightly bigger that is given upon completing Day 20.

==Trivia== 
*Originally, this world was gonna go all out with the Movie theater theme. But due to creative differences, the stage theater theme replaced it instead.
*This is the first world to not feature Zomboss as the boss fight of this. This is due to the creators wanting the world to stick to the stage theater theme as having Zomboss be the boss wouldn’t make any sense.
