Harry Potter and the Cursed Child London Poster Horizontal

Harry’s story isn’t quite over yet. This record-smashing global hit continues its successful West End. Nineteen years after the end of the iconic novels, Harry Potter’s son faces new kinds of dark magic. The two-part play is an epic tale of love, family, and redemption, with theatrical magic like you’ve never seen before. 
Fall under the spell of *Harry Potter and the Cursed Child* at the Palace Theatre and book your tickets today. 

What does Harry Potter and *Harry Potter and the Cursed Child* have in common? They both share a birthday! In the books, Harry Potter was born on 31 July 1980, and *Harry Potter and the Cursed Child* was released on 31 July 2016. Clearly, it’s a magical date in the diary. *Harry Potter and the Cursed Child* transformed the West End; it was the only two-part play in the West End when it premiered, and became an immediate sell-out. 

Watch out for the magic illusions in the show, courtesy of Jamie Harrison and Chris Fisher. We’re keeping the secrets, so you’ll have to see the show for yourself. *Cursed Child* continues to play to packed crowds, and audiences escape to Hogwarts for a full day when seeing the show. 

If you’ve already sat under the sorting hat and know your Hogwarts house, why not see a House-themed version of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child? Enter a Palace Theatre adorned in Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin colours and wear your Hogwarts clothes with pride.

You won’t need a time-turner once you’ve seen this play, so book *Harry Potter and the Cursed Child* on TodayTix.

## What to Watch For: 

We’re not going to tell you! As we’re keeping the secrets, you’ll have to book tickets to see the show for yourself. Get your tickets and head to the Palace Theatre now.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - LON - Box Office

Just as <a href="https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/hamilton">Hamilton</a> has been all-pervasive on Broadway since it opened there last summer, there's been little talk of anything but Harry Potter's official stage debut over here since the first announcement was made revealing that it was on its way over a year ago. (There was previously a small two-man fringe show called Potted Potter that raced through all the books to date in 70 minutes that transferred from the Trafalgar Studios small house to the Garrick where it was Olivier nominated in 2012, and then off-Broadway).When tickets finally went on sale for the initial run at the 1,400 seater neo-gothic pile that is the <a href="https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/palace-theatre">Palace Theatre</a>, they sold out almost instantly, long before the show had even gone into rehearsal. (A new batch is set to be released imminently).There's been a drip-feed of news ever since that, through to the casting and J.K Rowling tweeting drawings of the show's swords, and the revelation of the front house displays, each fuelling the air of anticipation around it. So now that it is finally here, does it deliver?   The first and most important thing to say is: And how! This is absolutely tremendous family entertainment that brilliantly and evocatively brings Harry Potter from the page to the stage -- but instead of adapting an existing story, does even better and continues the story, 19 years from where we left it at the end of the 7th book, to take it further forward in all sorts of spellbinding (in every sense) directions.Theatregoers are being urged to #KeepTheSecrets -- we're even given a badge to remind us! -- but this much I can say: some of our favourrite -- and a few of our less favourite -- characters are all here. Harry Potter is now 37 and a father of three, and Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley now married with children of their own. Albus Potter, Harry and Ginny Potter's middle child, is leaving for his first term at Hogwart's, along with Hemione and Ron's daughter Rose. One of the first people they meet on the train is Scorpius, son of Draco Malfoy.We are immediately plunged into another of J.K Rowling's ingeniously plotted rabbit holes of collisions between the natural and supernatural worlds, Muggles and mystery, Wizards and wonderment, and good and evil. An overriding theme here is parenting, with Harry Potter wrestling with being a good father to his son Albus when he, an orphan, has no model to follow.Some of this is deeply poignant: it reminded me at times of the great Sondheim musical Into the Woods (itself being revived in London at the moment at the Menier Chocolate Factory), which is also about parents and curses and outside forces threatening the world. But of course this isn't a musical, though there's an attractive electronic soundscape and propulsive movement from Steven Hoggett.If you're not quite a Potter-head, the programme has a helpful summary of the first seven stories. But you don't really need it, either: the story stands on its own feet (though you may miss some of the references that cause the audience at points to collectively and loudly catch their breaths with surprise).It's a show rich in theatrical magic as well as evoking magical powers, but also deeply human, too, with fantastic performances from a brilliant ensemble cast, led by Jamie Parker as Harry Potter, Sam Clemmett as his son Albus, Noma Dumezweni as Hermione, Paul Thornley as Ron, Alex Price as Draco Malfoy and Anthony Boyle as Draco's son Scorpius.A group of theatre makers at the very top of their game bring it all to impressive 3D life, from the brilliant designs of Christine Jones (cleverly using the auditorium of <a href="/theatres/palace-theatre">Palace Theatre</a>&nbsp;itself in one scene), evocatively lit with architectural splendour by Neil Austin, to Steven Hoggett's propulsive movement.The result is a work that will thrill new audiences as well as regular theatregoers alike -- some 50% of the audience is reported to be first-timers -- and could inspire and encourage a whole new generation to make theatre part of their lives.<a href="https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/harry-potter-and-the-cursed-child-parts-i-ii">Buy Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Tickets</a><hr /><h3>What the Press Said...</h3>"It's a spectacle for the theatre, one that is filled to the brim with fan service and magical imagery that will amaze. For any Potterhead who can get their hands on a ticket, it will no doubt be a fantastic experience..." Jack Shepherd for the Independent"This is a production that thrills at the aura of possibility lurking in the Victorian splendour of the theatre itself, a bygone age of smoke and mirrors." Dominic Cavendish for The Telegraph"It's convoluted, but the latest expansion of the Potter universe is thrillingly staged, with time travel and age-old quests given a dash of post-Freudian guilt." Michael Billington for The Guardian"For once the so-called theatrical event of the year really is just that...a feast for fans, packed with pathos, dazzling choreography and moments of pure enchantment."

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, review of Harry Potter play at London's Palace Theatre

There’s magic in every moment at Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the most awarded play in history and “one of the most defining pop culture events of the decade” (Forbes). And now, the 8th Harry Potter story is bringing the magic back to London’s West End.

The Palace Theatre is an iconic Red-brick playhouse that graces the heart of London, located specifically at Cambridge Circus on the corner of Shaftesbury Avenue in the City of Westminster. It's an impressive example of architectural elegance, with notable Richardsonian Romanesque style, designed by the well-renowned Thomas Edward Collcutt. The theatre seats more than 1,000 people, providing enough room for audiences to revel in the grand spectacles it stages. The Palace Theatre has housed spectacular productions from its establishment in 1891, notably hosting famous musicals and productions such as 'Jesus Christ Superstar', 'The Woman in White', 'Monty Python's Spamalot', and recently the critically-acclaimed 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child'. The venue is well-equipped with bars on all four levels and a merchandise booth for show-specific souvenirs. The theatre offers a unique charm, coupled with a historic cultural ambiance that leaves visitors in awe. 

## How to get here
The Palace Theatre is easily accessible via public transportation. The closest tube station is Leicester Square (Northern and Piccadilly lines) which is a 2-minute walk away. Alternatively, you can use the Covent Garden station (Piccadilly line), a 5-minute walk away. Numerous buses stop at Cambridge Circus, providing a wide range of routes across the city. If you are driving, note that the theatre is inside the London Congestion Zone, so remember to pay the charge if it applies. Nearby car parks are available at Soho and Chinatown.

The Palace Theatre opened in 1891. It was first known as the Royal English Opera House, intended to stage operatic productions. After the closure of its first production, the theatre was sold to Sir Augustus Harris, who changed the name to The Palace Theatre of Varieties. 

From 1921, Charles B. Cochrane took over the reins and ran the theatre as a cinema. The 1930s saw Fred Astaire grace the London stage for the final time in Cole Porter’s *Gay Divorce* before making his move to Hollywood.

In 1968, Judi Dench played Sally Bowles in *Cabaret.* Long-running musicals include *Jesus Christ Superstar* and 7,602 performances of *[Les Misérables](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/les-miserables)* from 1985 – 2004.

A host of musicals have followed, but the theatre’s latest tenant is the world premiere of *[Harry Potter and the Cursed Child](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/harry-potter-and-the-cursed-child-parts-i-ii)*, which officially opened in July 2016.

## Palace Theatre Seating Information

The auditorium has four levels - Stalls, Dress Circle, Grand Circle, Balcony. The seats in the Stalls are lightly raked, and most notably from Row N onwards.

In the Dress Circle, the view is impaired in Row H onwards by the overhang of the Grand Circle. 

In the Grand Circle there isn't as much legroom as in the lower levels of the theatre, and this level is considered to be quite high. 

The seats in the Balcony are extremely high.
