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).

Seats are assigned as best available at the time of purchase in the section selected. Please note the exact seat location given at checkout can change after the booking is placed based on availability at the time the purchase is made.

"VIP Experience was Disappointing"

Reviewed December 10, 2025 NEW

The show was fantastic and seeing Tom Felton was amazing. I wish we didn’t book the VIP experience. Our seats came with a cookie and 2 drinks: champagne upon arrival and a drink for intermission. Since I’m pregnant, I was able to get N/A butterbeer instead of the champagne. My friend and I ordered a second drink before intermission. A bottle of water for me and an espresso martini for her. For intermission we pre ordered popcorn and the signature mocktails that were only available at intermission. The staff assured my friend could get hers spiked, no problem. Intermission turned into quite the mess! I paid quickly since the staff seemed rushed and realized that the bill didn’t align with expectations. I thought we would only be charged for the espresso martini and bottle of water but for some reason we’re billed for 2 mocktails and a shot as well as a popcorn they never provided. I told the staff quickly and they put off assisting us but then proceeded to argue our check and insist only the first 4 drinks were included. It made us rushed and not enjoy the experience. We were not the only guests that had this issue and ultimately had to pay the billing error to avoid missing the start of the 2nd act.

"Phenomenal Show and Nostalgia!"

Reviewed December 08, 2025 NEW

I saw Harry Potter and the Cursed Child last Thursday, and it was fantastic. Tom Felton returning as Draco was a huge highlight, but Aidan Close, Scorpius Malfoy, stole the show! The story was exciting, the magic effects were amazing, and the whole cast delivered great performances. An unforgettable experience for any Harry Potter fan!

The play was an amazing continuation of the Wizarding world- absolutely fantastic! All the actors were top notch and it was the icing on the cake to see Tom Felton reprise his role of Draco Malfoy. The special effects are beyond belief. All HP fans need to see this play!
