Reviews

What is a complete revelation, and was by no means assured, is the sheer scope and integrity of the accomplished storytelling the authors and entire creative team bring to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. ... My wager is that the lucky young ones who see these plays will be hooked on the theater for life. What could be better than that?
-
In embodying the magical with such seeming spontaneity, Cursed Child becomes the new gold standard for fantasy franchise entertainment on Broadway. By contrast, most of the family-courting stage versions of animated films that have ruled the theater district for so long look as stiff and artificial as parades of windup toys.
