How Harry Potter should be seen…absolute magic!
"I wish I lived in New York just to watch this again and again. Absolutely magical, this is how Harry Potter should be seen. The effects that were performed makes me ask how???? Literal Broadway magic. Magical, emotional, hilarious. The comedy Genius that is Scorpius brings a wholesome balance to the deeper emotional plot line- he is my new favorite Harry Potter character."

Life changing show!
"This show was fantastic and really brought me back to my childhood! The magic was jaw dropping and the actors were hilarious! Seeing Tom as Draco was an added bonus, watching him tear up during the standing ovation was moving. My husband and I loved it, and we both want to go again! 10/10 would recommend."

Brilliant Production and Storyline
"The question above was asked as to whether I would recommend this show for children. I said yes, but need to clarify...children who have read the books, and maybe have seen the films, would most enjoy. If a child walks in "cold," they may have a hard time following and there may be some scary scenes. The production is simply brilliant, and I'm sorry it took me this long to see it. The actors playing Hermione, Harry, Ginny and Dolores are exquisite. The young gents playing Scorpius and Albus are similarly talented and serve the roles with honor. Delphi Diggory, a new character to my knowledge, is a blessing. I went to see this prior to bringing my nieces, so I could "vet" the show...and I'm confident that they will love it as much as I did. Thank you for reading. "

Truly Magical
"I have been a Harry Potter fan since I started reading the books to my kids 20 years ago. I read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and thought it was as good as the original series. When Tom Felton said he would return as Draco, I knew I had to go see it. It did not disappoint. My husband even liked it. I would recommend this play to young and old alike especially if you are a huge Harry Potter fan."

VFX Wizardry & Spectacular Acting! See this show!
"Best stage production I’ve seen. The visual effects, acting, quick changes, staging, EVERYTHING, are truly mind-bending! It feels like you are actually in a wizarding world. The acting is fantastic and very true to the characters (shout out to Tom Felton!). Plot moves relatively quickly, so get familiar with Harry Potter storylines beforehand to keep up. "

Truly breathtaking
"Such an amazing, life changing experience, the theater decorations are elaborate and exquisite and extend throughout the theater, the themed drinks are amazing, the show was exhilarating, one of the best I've ever seen. It is mainly about the story and less about the music however 6/5 stars and would take anyone that I loved again"
