A Broadway Experience That Truly Feels Magical
"Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a masterpiece. The theatre, set design, lighting, costumes, choreography, and overall staging make you feel completely immersed in the world of the show, like you’re actually living inside the story rather than just observing it. The most impressive part of the production is easily the special effects. I won’t spoil anything, but if you want your mind genuinely blown, this show is absolutely worth seeing. The pacing is fantastic, and you won’t be bored for even a second. An added bonus was getting to see Tom Felton reprise the role of Draco Malfoy, which brought an extra layer of nostalgia and emotion to the experience. There’s a certain magic this show captures, and it’s truly not to be missed."

A lot of fun
"Story and special effects were great. A little “silly” than the books and film. Lots of jokes. Still really enjoyed it though."

Incredible
"I’ve always loved Harry Potter and seeing this was honestly one of the highlights of my trip to New York. It was my first broadway show and I was beyond static to see this. It was just a bonus that Tom Felton happened to be reprising his role as Draco. He did a fantastic job and if I could’ve I would’ve bought tickets to see it again before I had went home. "

Absolutely Brilliant!
"I wasn't sure what to expect, but wow was I blown away by the performance. The set design was fantastic, coreography was amazing and I enjoyed all the special effects and stunts. Mics could have been a little louder in some instances, but overall a really enjoyable afternoon at the theatre. Tom Felton was superb as an adult Draco Malfoy. I wish we had more of him on stage but it wasn't all about him. The cast did an excellent job and it made me long for my time back in my high school drama club. I would highly recommend this for anyone interested in the Harry Potter world and seeing the next generation of wizards in action. "

Nostalgia mixed with a new story
"The actors were phenomenal and so entertaining to watch. I grew up with the original Harry Potter books and movies. When the rehearsal edition script for this show was released I bought it. The story was a mixture of nostalgia but also refreshing. I was so excited to see it live and experience the magic again. Special effects felt magical and really aided the performance. I would caution on bringing small children because some elements may be scary for them. "

My New Favorite Play
"This play was incredible! I was blown away by the cast talent, the special effects and overall theater experience. Watching Tom Felton play Draco was the cherry on top. This is now my new favorite play! I highly recommend it! My kids (tweens) loved it too and my husband who did not read the books or watched the movies was amazed as well. I loved that the theater had delivery concessions service at intermission. We purchased the frozen butter beers and that was a fun treat to have during the second half. "
