Unbelievable Experience
"Cannot emphasize enough how much we enjoyed this show! It was clever, creative, and engaging from start to finish. The set was amazing and I love how they incorporated not just the stage but the whole venue to make the experience truly immersing. The acting was next level, the stunts surprising, and a great story with emotional depth. Completely recommend for both long time fans of Harry Potter and newbies! "

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. "

"One of the best productions we have seen to date. The acting is wonderful, the effects are spectacular. It's funny, it's emotional, it's just wonderful! If you have the ability to see this while Tom Felton is in the cast, do it! Highlight of our weekend in NYC. "

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"

Amazing show!!
"My family enjoyed this show so much. My son is 11 and was enthralled (he's read all the books), but I'm not sure I'd recommend it for kids under 10 due to some scary parts and some slow parts. The script was funny and the theatrics were incredible!! Half play, half magic show. Lyric theatre was clean and everything was very well-organized. Snacks delivered to your seat for free, too! Overall, highly recommend if you're a Harry Potter fan."

A Magical Evening
"On Monday evening, I had the absolute joy of seeing Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway — and I am still under its spell. This is not simply a sequel. It is theatrical spectacle of the highest order. The Lyric Theatre becomes a world of shifting staircases, Polyjuice transformations, duels, and time travel — all unfold live before your eyes in ways that remind you why theatre, even in the age of CGI, remains incomparable. The illusions are breathtaking — but they always serve the story. So does the music. The atmospheric underscoring weaves through the production like an invisible spell, heightening tension, underscoring heartbreak, and propelling the time-bending action forward. It never overwhelms; it breathes with the actors, giving emotional shape to moments of intimacy and awe. The score is as essential to the storytelling as any wand or wand duel. At its heart, this is an intimate piece about fathers and sons, about legacy and the burden of expectation. Harry and Albus’ fractured relationship carries genuine emotional weight, grounding the spectacle in something painfully human. What moved me most, however, was the bond between Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy. Their love — steadfast, sacrificial, and utterly sincere — becomes the emotional center of the evening. It called to mind David and Jonathan: a friendship marked by fierce loyalty and a profound soul-connection that transcends rivalry and inherited division. In a world shaped by old grudges, these two young men choose one another with courage and tenderness. It is beautiful to witness. And it was especially thrilling to see Tom Felton make his Broadway debut. Watching him return to this world, now older and reflective, added a layer of poignancy for those of us who are longtime fans. The audience response to him alone was electric. Grand, heartfelt, and unapologetically theatrical. Broadway magic, indeed."

Stunning, imaginative, book to life!
"This was my first broadway show. I’ve always wanted to see this show but to be honest, Tom Felton was the reason I couldn’t wait any longer. It was so amazing to see him but even more amazing to see him with a family of cast members. His presence was humble and with them and just amazing. The whole ensamble was more than I could have imagined. I laughed, cried, and sat on the edge of my seat, totally immersed in the show and the community of the audience. The special effects were amazing. I would go again if I got the chance. "
