Acting and effects were really astonishing! Unfortunately using cameras was prohibited so we don't have any photos or videos, but still the show was an unforgettable experience. Our jaws dropped at the beginning and stayed at the floor until the very end of the show.

Absolutely magical! The Dementors’ entrance was a true wow moment—one of the most spectacular scenes of the show. And seeing Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy was definitely another highlight. A fantastic Broadway experience!

The edge was very nice. The view way amazing. My wife and l enjoyed that more than the visit to the two islands. You need to book weeks in advance to tour the inside of The Staute of Liberty .

What surprises me the most is that the sky in the theater, the walls, are all part of the performance. I would highly recommend this show.

Review by Headout

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
