Description

Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne, and John Tiffany, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a new play by Jack Thorne. It is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage.

It was always difficult being Harry Potter, and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband, and a father of three school-age children.

While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his headstrong youngest son, Albus, must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.

Prepare for a mind-blowing race through time, spectacular spells, and an epic battle, all brought to life with the most astonishing theatrical magic ever seen on a Broadway stage. "You’ll be wondering 'how'd they do that?' for days to come" (People Magazine).

Experience the wizarding world like never before from the moment you arrive. The entire theatre has been transformed, with hidden surprises to discover around every corner. "It's a marvel of imagination, as magical as any spell or potion" (The New York Times).

Enthralling, magical presentation of a Harry Potter continuing saga. We’ve never been to such a hypnotizing theatrical event. Truly movie making level of phantasmagorical creatures and changing sets. Strong, moving acting. Truly amazing performances. Well worth it.

"Harry Potter and the cursed child play"

Reviewed April 14, 2026 NEW

Attended Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Fox Theatre. The production and effects are excellent, and the story is engaging. It was a great opportunity to unplug and enjoy a few hours of live theater. Unfortunately, the directing choices at times felt like they were inserting a personal political or social agenda into the show. That approach was distracting and pulled focus away from what should have been the core of the experience, the story itself. To be clear, this is not part of the original books. It felt like a directing choice inserting a modern interpretation that wasn’t true to the source material, and it was distracting throughout the show.

GREAT SPECIAL EFFECTS! Never seen anything like it. Actors were great, but hard to get used to not seeing the original actors. There were a few times I almost fell asleep but that coukd be due to the lasagna I ate at Becco's, the late hour or all the walking we did during the day. Definitely recommend the play!

To be fair, the only reason why I went to go see this was to see Tom Felton. I read the script when it originally came out when the show opened in London. And I was not a huge fan. I must say that this was such an incredible experience and I am so happy that I went to see the show. Tom was fantastic, but the show was so much better than the script itself. The special effects were the neatest that I’ve ever seen on Broadway. Even if you’re not a Harry Potter fan, you will love this show!

"100% go see this play! You won’t regret it!"

Reviewed March 08, 2026

This is by hands down, the BEST play I’ve ever been too. And not just because Tom Felton, who reprised his iconic roll as Draco Malfoy (who literally fell right back into the character we love, exactly where he left off.) The entire cast was truly phenomenal! Each cast member truly embraced their roll and brought the old characters we grew up loving to life again. The magical effects had me in awe and amazement! I would go back just to see those, but the story was so good as well. Note: there are some scary parts, but in a slightly fun way. I sadly won’t be taking my little kids to this until they are a little older. Go! Go! Go!!!!!! You will not be disappointed! And you’ll be smiling the whole time!
