Program: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by Jack Thorne.
Harry Potter and The Cursed Child brings J.K. Rowling's wizarding world to the Broadway stage in spectacular fashion. This two-part theatrical experience, originally conceived for the stage by Jack Thorne, John Tiffany, and Rowling herself, earned critical acclaim and numerous awards including nine Olivier Awards and six Tony Awards. Set nineteen years after the events of the final Harry Potter book, the story follows an adult Harry working at the Ministry of Magic while grappling with his past, and his son Albus as he begins his journey at Hogwarts.
Expect theatrical magic unlike anything you've seen before. This production combines innovative stagecraft, illusions, and special effects that will leave audiences wondering how they pulled off seemingly impossible feats right before your eyes. The show runs approximately five and a half hours with an intermission, traditionally presented as two parts that can be seen on the same day or consecutive days. It's perfect for Harry Potter fans of all ages, though the themes explore more mature territory than the earlier books, dealing with legacy, father-son relationships, and the weight of heroism.
The Lyric Theatre, located in the heart of Times Square, provides an intimate Broadway venue for this magical experience. Originally opened in 1903 and beautifully renovated, the theater's classic architecture creates the perfect backdrop for this contemporary magical tale. The venue's excellent sightlines ensure that the intricate staging and effects can be appreciated from every seat in the house.
