A continuation of The Boy Who Lived's story, adapted by Emmy Winner Jack Thorne (Adolescence, Enola Holmes), 'Cursed Child catches up with Harry and co. as grown-ups, where the challenges of adulthood, jobs, and kids prove far scarier than anything Voldemort could have cooked up.
Leaving critics impressed and fans bowled over, the show expertly recaptures the magic of the books, while crafting a totally unique world of its own. The story is brought to life with an intelligent script, wondrous costumes and a whole Defence Against the Dark Arts class worth of great theatrical special effects.

What Is The Story of The Cursed Child?
Our Golden Trio, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, are now all in their late 30s, married with kids, and respectfully employed. Harry and Ginny's son, Albus, is just starting his first term at Hogwarts, yet his father's reputation hangs heavy around his neck, and he resents being known as the son of The Boy Who Lived. When the Sorting Hat chooses a surprising house for the Potter-Weasley offspring, he finds an unlikely friendship in one Scorpius Malfoy - the son of his father's old bully, Draco. At the same time, sinister forces from the past are reemerging to threaten the Wizarding World once more, and it might just be down to Albus and Scorpius to take their parents' school days example and get themselves all wrapped up in it...
Thrilling, dark, and dramatic, but buoyed up with humor and heart, don't miss this breathtaking adventure that carries on one of the world's most cherished stories!

Well, quite frankly…
…the cast and the production deserved far more applause than they got Friday evening (9/11/26). Mea culpa. Forgive me - As I was stunned. Stunned by the production, its pace and effects. And equally stunned by the ensemble (and individual) performances. I’ve never seen anything like it - Broadway or elsewhere. The production and performances set a new (and far higher) bar for excellence. Maybe I’ve missed something equal or semi equal in the past. But, for some reason (perhaps the undeniably extraordinary event I witnessed) - I don’t think so.
A thousand apologies for my subdued response. Again, you deserved far more than I showed. Surely you all know how good you are and what a great production you are all part of. What can I say? Other than…
Thank You. Thank you all for that extraordinary experience.

Awestruck--Amazing beyond my expectations!!!
The storyline, the magical stage effects, and some comical moments all had me sitting on the edge of my seat. The stage effects I think is what really did it. I was happy to see the Harry Potter characters. At some times, I had a difficult time understanding what was said because speaking accents were too strong when certain characters spoke but I was able to follow the story quite well. I recommend all Harry Potter fans to make a special trip to see this play. I believe you will absolutely adore it.
I sat orchestra right center behind the center line. I felt as though I was a little too far back--just wish the seats were on a steeper incline because tall people sitting in front of you can be a problem. ... Read more

Amazing acting and incredible stage/effects
Magical!
The acting was incredible. The story was endearing, funny, and enjoyed by the whole family.
The special effects - truly the most amazing and impressive set, tricks, and coordination I’ve seen live.
We left awe-struck and are still talking about it days later.
Bravo! ... Read more
