"Even though I’m a die hard HP fan and am not really impressed with the story itself, the special effects alone make this show worth it! It felt like real magic. Several times it had us gasping in awe"

Great show
"I thought the special effects were amazing! I liked the story line but at times it was hard to hear the actors. It was great for Harry Potter fans. I would suggest children over 10 that are not easily frightened."

Phenomenal Show! Didn’t want it to end.
"While visiting from Australia we had to see a Broadway show and Harry Potter well and truly exceeded all expectations. Absolutely loved it! The set changes were seamless, spells and action scenes were mind blowing, the actors were absolutely incredible and it felt like you were fully immersed in the HP world! Once you’ve seen a show on Broadway, nothing else will compare! Thank you for making our NY part of our trip so memorable! Cannot recommend more highly! Worth every cent."

Wife & I have waited years to see this… it did not disappoint!
"Wife and I had been talking about seeing this show for years and finally pulled the trigger. We were worried the show wouldn’t live up the hype or the pedestal we put it on. It lived up to the hype and then some. We’re big Harry Potter fans, her more than me but it was overall incredible, from beginning to end we were completely captivated. The special fx was literally like magic and so quick and subtle at times. Was worried we would be too far from the stage sitting in the right side dress circle but having the aisle seat helped my short wife and even though we were row F it was perfect and reasonably priced. We were so beyond thrilled, if you’re on the fence definitely go!!"

One Muggle's Dream Come True
"As a diehard HP superfan, I entered the beautiful Lyric Theathre with exceeding high expectations for the Cursed Child, and the play did not disappoint! My favorite feature of the show was its unique special effects, especially the one for the time-turner scenes--it was truly incredible! I knew the book version well which made it easier to follow the story, and I mention that because some older gentlemen in the crowd seemed a bit confused at times about what was going on. If you have read the other HP books (or seen the movies), however, you should be able to follow it just fine without reading the screenplay beforehand.
For young children, there were roughly two mildly scary scenes with the dementors that might frighten sensitive kids. With that said, HP and the Cursed Child did not seem to have anything worse than most Disney movies.
If you are still reading this review, I'm guessing you will love the show ALMOST as much as I did. "

More than expected
"When watching the video ads and reviews for this play I wasn’t sure if it would keep my kids attention. I was worried that the length would be too long or it would be too slow moving for my Harry Potter loving but very ADHD family. I couldn’t be more wrong. Absolutely recommend sitting in the lower sections for the full experience. But still really enjoyable in the top sections too. My kids left completely blow away and want to go back to see it again my self included. "

No singing... but great show
"The play was amazing! The actors were spot on. My niece absolutely loved it!!! I was slightly disappointed with the lack of musical numbers! There was some background music, but no singing. I've been to over 20 broadway shows and this was my first with no singing.
Side note, the ushers trying to prevent phone usage was way more distracting then the phones themselves.
But overall it was great! "
