Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is

production received its world premiere in July 2016 at the Palace
Theatre in London where it continues to play to sold out houses. It
officially opened on Broadway at the Lyric Theatre on April 22, 2018. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

2019; on the US West Coast at San Francisco’s Curran in fall of 2019;
and, in Germany at Hamburg’s Mehr! Theater am Großmarkt in spring of
2020.
It
was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now
that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband,
and the father of three school-age children.
While
Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his
youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he
never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son
learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected
places.
