Harry Potter fans this play is a Must See

Absolutely magical experience!
"Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway was brilliant from start to finish — funny, engaging, and packed with jaw-dropping effects. The stage magic and visuals were absolutely phenomenal, making it one of the most immersive theatrical experiences I’ve ever seen. The icing on the cake was Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy — seeing him live on stage was truly special and added an extra layer of nostalgia and excitement. This is an absolute must-see for every Potterhead. If you’re in New York, this deserves to be right at the top of your list. "

Great Production!
"We really loved the show. My family was unfamiliar with the play, but familiar with the movies, so it was enjoyable to them to re-visit scenes they knew. Unbeknownst to me, my son (15) brought his wand from Universal. My daughter (11) liked the actor who played Professor Snape. My husband laughed out loud several times. I wanted to see Tom as Draco, and he was fabulous. I realize it's not a musical play, but I did miss live music."

Highly recommend!
"Seen the show for the first time last week. One word - SPELLBINDING! As a massive Harry Potter fan, I was always going to enjoy it anyway but it absolutely blew all my expectations out of the water. The acting, the plot and the special effects. Seeing Tom Felton reprise his role as Draco Malfoy was the cherry on the cake. Already planning my next visit. "

Great show for families
"This is a great show for Harry Potter fans and non fans. Awesome choreography , acting, graphics and most of all getting to see Tom Felton! I would advise that some parts may be scary for children under 10 years old. But we absolutely loved everything about it. The only thing that was a bit of an annoyance are the long lines to the women’s restroom for the 15 intermission it wasn’t enough time. The butter beer was way too sweet and not good. If you want really good butter beer, go to the Harry Potter store instead, theirs is perfect! "

Absolutely amazing!
"As a Potterhead from Thailand, I’ve always wanted to fulfill my Wizarding World journey. The Cursed Child is definitely the top of my list. I really wanted the show to be longer! If I have another chance to come see it again, I surely will! The cast was also great, Aiden as Scorpius was wonderful. Not to mention Tom Felton, he is and always will be Draco Malfoy!"

High Expectations - Exceeded
"I had a trip to NYC already planned when it was announced that Tom Felton was going to join the cast. I couldn't miss out. I had high hopes for the show and it blew me away. I could feel the energy Tom brought to the stage. Each and every actor was fantastic and the effects were amazing. The theater and the show were above and beyond any of my high expectations. Just wow!! "

My first time in NYC and my first ever play on broadway!
"The atmosphere and acoustics were amazing! There was not a bad seat in the house! Watching Tom Felton step on stage was a sight for everyone in attendance! The cheers and applauses seemed to go on forever. All of the actors did an amazing job! I will be returning to see this play at least 2 more times before its end in May of 2026."

"There is more comedy than I expected. It is also more heartfelt than the books and movies. It’s a different kind of Harry Potter story but it still holds are of the magic that comes from this world. Amazing!"

Great production!
"The experience begins when you enter the theater. Art on the walls comes to life on your phone. The decor is perfect. It’s such a dynamic production with movement of the actors, the sets, the props and the special effects are something you expect to see in a movie. The fact that it all happens on stage is amazing. I think kids from the age of 10 and up can appreciate the story much better than younger kids. We were wowed! Excellent!"
