"My spouse and I attended the performance and were seated in the third row. However, after observing the venue, I believe that the show would be equally enjoyable from any seat. It was a unique blend of a magic show and a play, which I found to be highly entertaining."

"I loved everything about this! It was my first time seeing a play and while I learned a lot about what I would do differently next time, that only added to it! The actors were great, the sound quality was perfect! (I sat in the balcony and didn’t miss a thing). The theater is GORGEOUS!! I’m so happy I got to experience this! I’m just sad I didn’t get any merch, but that’s my fault. I’m already thinking about when I can come back and see it again. "

"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."

"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!"

"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. "
