"It was the most magical play I have ever seen. There were so many moments where I asked myself: “How did they do that!?”. Everything was just perfect and I would definitely recommend going there to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child."

"You would have to be a Harry Potter fan to follow a lot of the story. My wife has not read the books or seen the movies, but she did enjoy the skill that the cast and stage crew displayed. It was truly fantastic! I was blown away by the special effects."

"The special effects were incredible!!!! It was like watching a magic show - and it was.... The magic was truly magical. WELL DONE!!! My grandson and I were on the edge of our seats. The acting was dynamic and incredibly energetic. The Lyric Theater is lovely. Finally, a ladies restroom that is big enough so the line doesn't trail down the hall. The butterbeer was really tasty. We were sitting in the first row of the balcony. My only suggestion is the improvement of the sound. It was difficult to hear all of the lines - perhaps the English accents and the acoustics made the words a bit difficult to hear. The play is long, so theater goers to this performance should be prepared. BRAVO!"

"Sets were amazing. Change of sets very well done. Special effects outstanding. The sound quality was poor. I could not understand about half of the dialogue even though we were seated in K row (seats 7&9) and we spent a significant amount of money for the seats."

"If you have read all the Harry Potter books and watched the movies, you get the chance to watch this book in the musical/Broadway version. It’s worth the trip out of town to view this, it was my first Broadway at Lyric Theater in NYC as a tourist and an avid reader! The drinks were on theme as well as the atmosphere. Be prepared to be stunned by the visual effects and the heartwarming storytelling of JK Rowling."

"I loved this play. It is recommended that you read or at least be familiar with all the Harry Potter books as there are many references to incidents in them. I also recommend reading the play by the same name. There will be some confusing scenes unless one is aware of things like polyjuice. "

"I was a little bit disappointed from the character of Harry Potter, I didn’t imagine him growing old as a father like that but the play allows to think about the balance of parenting between knowing or thinking knowing what best for our children and let them have there own experience and take their own risks "
