If you have three hours to kill and a desperate need to see middle-aged wizards grapple with their suburban ennui, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is waiting for you at the Lyric Theatre. Securing Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Broadway tickets at face value is a fiscal disaster, so play the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child lottery instead. It is the only way to justify the cost of a mediocre cocktail near Times Square. Check the odds at our Broadway lottery hub.
The plot picks up nineteen years later, proving that even in the wizarding world, the trauma of your parents never really stays buried. Harry is now a weary bureaucrat at the Ministry, while his son Albus struggles to exist in a shadow cast by someone else’s fame. It is a family drama dressed up in expensive capes and pyrotechnics. While the stagecraft is technically impressive, the narrative relies heavily on fan service to keep the momentum going. If you can stomach the relentless nostalgia and the sheer length of the production, it offers a decent night out. Just leave the wand at home.
