The one-part West End version of the Harry Potter play, set nineteen years after the original trilogy, with music by Imogen Heap.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is back at the Palace Theatre from Wednesday 13 January to Wednesday 27 January 2027. It's billed as the eighth Harry Potter story, and it's the most awarded new play in history, with nine Olivier Awards including Best Play and six Tony Awards. It first opened at the Palace in the summer of 2016 as a two-part theatrical event, and a decade on it's been seen by more than 2.5 million people in London, including over 300,000 first-time theatregoers, and more than 14 million worldwide.
These dates are part of the reimagined one-part version, which keeps the stagecraft and magical effects but runs as a single performance rather than two separate nights. It's about two hours and 55 minutes long, including an interval. The story picks up nineteen years after Harry, Ron and Hermione helped save the wizarding world, following the trio as adults with families when a new generation of students arrives at Hogwarts.
Behind the scenes, the creative team includes Steven Hoggett on movement, Christine Jones on set, Katrina Lindsay on costume, Imogen Heap on music, Neil Austin on lighting, Gareth Fry on sound and Jamie Harrison on illusions. Between the set, the lighting and the illusions, there's a lot of the technical work that the show is known for on display in one evening.
