One-part version of the West End hit play, set nineteen years after Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger saved the wizarding world.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is running at the Palace Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue, with performances going through to 27 June 2027. It's an original story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, set nineteen years after Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger helped save the wizarding world. The play follows the trio as adults with families, pulled back in by a new generation of students arriving at Hogwarts. Thorne wrote the play and Tiffany directed it, and it's been one of the West End's most celebrated shows since its world premiere in 2016.
For its first ten years, it was a two-part theatrical event, but it's since been reimagined as a single one-part performance. The Palace Theatre describes this as a new era designed to share the show's magic with more people than ever before, and it keeps the same stagecraft and magical effects as the original. The creative team includes set designer Christine Jones, costume designer Katrina Lindsay, composer Imogen Heap, lighting designer Neil Austin, sound designer Gareth Fry and illusions and magic designer Jamie Harrison. It's recommended for ages 8 and over, and has drawn praise from The Hollywood Reporter, The Telegraph, The Times and The Independent.
