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 eternal saga of magic, friendship, and adolescence. But, in this case, you couldn’t be farther from the truth. Unlike musicals, which commit their plot to the stage with no imagination, Rowling, Tiffany and Thorne have reinvestigated what made the books work in the first place – a magical spine and psychodrama all cloaked in some incredibly specific world-building – and they’ve used these findings to birth a new story. And they make it spectacular. Tiffany doesn’t hold back as his lavish production unfolds, gifting us with acrobatic wand battles, polyjuice transformations, flying Dementors, and a stunt involving water that has everyone flabergasted. Don’t miss the chance to experience all of this yourself on Sunday 19th May 2024.
