Harry Potter and The Cursed Child at Lyric Theatre

You might be thinking that this is just another play capitalizing on the success of a magical saga of magic, friendship, and adolescence. But, in this case, you couldn’t be farther from the truth. Unlike musicals, which commit their material to the stage with little imagination, Rowling, Tiffany and Thorne have reinvestigated what made the books work in the first place – a fairytale spine and psychodrama all wrapped up in some truly magical world-building – and they’ve used their findings to craft a new story. And they make it spectacular. Tiffany spares no indulgence as his extravagant production unfolds, stunning us with acrobatic wand battles, polyjuice transformations, flying Dementors, and a stunt that involves water that has everyone boggled. Don’t miss the chance to experience all of this yourself on Thursday 1st February 2024.
