An incredible show! Great special effects, outstanding acting, plenty of emotion, and truly unforgettable scenes. The whole thing is incredibly impressive, and it’s definitely worth seeing live. One thing particularly surprised me as a Pole visiting a theater in the U.S. for the first time. During the show, you can order popcorn, beer, drinks, and other snacks, and then eat and drink them at your leisure while the performance is going on—just like at a movie theater or a sports stadium. In Poland, that would be pretty much unthinkable! 😄 An extraordinary experience and a great atmosphere. I definitely recommend it!

We really enjoyed the show. It was fun and worth going to see. Even my wife, who is not a Harry Potter fan, said that the show was the most immersive she had ever been to and she really enjoyed it.

The atmosphere in the theater was electric from the moment the show began — you could feel the excitement and anticipation from the audience throughout the performance. The cast was phenomenal, bringing so much emotion, energy, and chemistry to every scene that it felt completely immersive. One moment that truly wowed me was the Dementor sequence and the wand duel effects — the staging, lighting, and illusions were so flawlessly executed that it genuinely felt like magic was happening live on stage. The stage effects and storytelling were incredible — the magic felt real and the transitions between scenes were seamless. The cast delivered emotional and powerful performances, especially the actors playing Harry, Scorpius, and Albus. The combination of lighting, sound, choreography, and illusions made it one of the most immersive theater experiences I’ve ever seen.

The official eighth story in the Harry Potter series, this Tony-winning play follows Harry’s son Albus on a time-twisting Hogwarts adventure.

See Harry Potter film star Tom Felton reprise his role as Draco Malfoy on Broadway in a limited 19-week engagement starting in November 2025.

Winner of six Tony Awards and nine Olivier Awards, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has been hailed by The New York Times as “a game-changing production.”

Conceived by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne, and John Tiffany, with illusions by Jamie Harrison and choreography by Steven Hoggett, this production redefines live wizardry.

Playing at the Lyric Theatre, this is a record-breaking phenomenon where powerful storytelling meets on-stage magic. Book your tickets to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway.
