What’s the show about? Set 19 years after the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the story follows Harry as an overworked Ministry of Magic employee and father to three children, including his youngest son, Albus. As Albus struggles under the weight of his family’s legacy, he and Harry confront dark forces that blur the boundaries of time and challenge everything they thought they knew about the past, present, and future.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' review: A magical mystery tour de force
9 / 10

The stagecraft on display is unlike anything I've seen, with magical moments taking your breath away at every turn. Brooms and suitcases and people fly about with abandon on Christine Jones' inventive set, fire flashes across the stage, a lake materializes, then a forest. Time travels and everything is a blur. Oh, please, could we have instant replay?

‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’ Broadway Review: JK Rowling’s Wizards in a Father-Son Battle
7 / 10

Despite the show's reported record-breaking $68 million price tag, Tiffany has wisely chosen to give the 'Cursed Child' a low-tech look. As long as parents don't have to take out a mortgage to purchase the tickets, the two-part play is great children's theater that in no way attempts to replicate the movies. The stage versions of 'Mary Poppins' and 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' dumbed the imagination with their literal interpretations. Tiffany avoids that visual trap by suggesting a train, for example, rather than presenting one on stage. The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is little more than two moving staircases, and yet, in one illuminating sequence those steps conjure up dozens of locales in the imagination of any theatergoer, young or old.
