The Boy Who Lived, back on Broadway. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a breathtaking stage continuation of J.K. Rowling's cherished series that transports audiences back to the wizarding world. With mind-blowing spectacular effects, like wraithlike Dementors, time-turning illusions, and wand duels, this Broadway production elevates the narrative. The play takes place nineteen years after the last book and delves into the intricate dynamics between Harry, his son Albus, and the youngest Malfoy, Scorpius.
The Lyric Theatre is transformed by the stunning set, the brilliant choreography, and the performances of the cast members under the direction of John Tiffany. Everyone, from longtime Potter fans to those unfamiliar with Hogwarts, will be captivated by the mesmerizing blend of nostalgia, drama, and innovation. Playwright Jack Thorne superbly expands the Harry Potter world while remaining faithful to its essence in his screenplay, which expertly combines nostalgia with fresh difficulties

Adam Feldman,
Time Out NY5/5
"Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is haunted by death and pain; it is often suspenseful and sometimes downright frightening. Yet amid the cinematic tumult and dazzle of the densely action-packed plot, Thorne and Tiffany carve out quiet scenes of intimacy and tenderness"
Alexis Soloski,
The Guardian5/5
"The play’s great gift is to let us know that they boy who lived has to go on living and then make room for his sons and daughter to live their own lives, too"
Steven Suskin,
New York Stage Review4/5
"But while there is a good deal of machinery and a greater deal of millions behind it all, the specialest effect that shines through—and, truly, makes Cursed Child what it is—is high-grade theatrical imagination."

Aladdin

An Amazing Show!!!
Everything went very smoothly—the staff at the ticket office were very friendly. A peaceful atmosphere, comfortable seats.
The best part was the show itself. We saw *Aladdin*, and honestly, even if it had lasted two more hours, it wouldn't have been a problem at all.

The Great Gatsby
Martyna Kowalczyk
The Great Gatsby wasn’t just a musical—it felt like stepping into another world. Every scene was filled with breathtaking choreography, powerful vocals, and stunning visuals, but what stayed with me most was the emotion behind the glamour. It reminded me that no amount of wealth can replace love, hope, or genuine human connection. I left the theater inspired, emotional, and still thinking about the story long after the final curtain fell.

It was a fantastic show. The music and singers were unbelivable! Unfotunately small children sit behind us. They were talking all the time. It was very disturbing. As I knew little children are not permitted on the show.
