Oh. My. God. 6 stars
"This show is so incredible. The actors are amazing, the production is remarkable, and the storyline is so good. What really makes this show a 6 star show is the special effects. They really bring in the world of magic to Broadway and you’re immersed in it - for some of the special effects, I truly have no explanation for them other than it was magic and that’s what I choose to believe.

Amazing
"Wonderful show, it made me appreciate the book’s plot even more. My boyfriend isn’t a big fan, but he was still extremely satisfied with the performance. We were seated in the last row of the balcony, in the central section, and visibility and sound were both very good. I would definitely recommend considering these seats despite the distance"

Absolutely magical
"Loved of all, every actor made the show! Loved seeing Tom Felton, as the icing on the cake, but all of the actors did a tremendous job bringing these beloved characters to life. A heartfelt thank you for an amazing day, a wonderful experience, and a renewed love for this story that’s been close to our hearts growing up. It’s clear that you all love it like we do and it shows. Aidan Close and Emmet Smith ARE Scorpius and Albus, and John Skelley IS Harry. Rachel Christopher, Daniel Fredrick and Trish Lindstrom were outstanding, bringing their own creativity to their roles, I wish I could name everyone! The magic was palpable, I might just need to see it again! "

Continuing the story
"It takes off just where the films ended at platform 9 3/4. 19 years after the events in the movies. The way the magic and its effects are presented is fantastic. It was great seeing Tom Felton reprise his role as Draco. All of the cast were great in their roles. I would see it again, if I have the chance to do so. Seeing it on Broadway made it more special."
