Glued to my SEAT
"This show was spectacular! The actors, comic relief and lighting effects had me hooked ! I’d love to see it again and bring my kids, but they’d probably scream out of excitement. "

A most unique way of seeing "Harry Potter"
"Liked - everything, the cast, settings, choreography - done in a most unique way. Not ready for children a lot of explaining would have to be done as to what was going on."

No singing... but great show
"The play was amazing! The actors were spot on. My niece absolutely loved it!!! I was slightly disappointed with the lack of musical numbers! There was some background music, but no singing. I've been to over 20 broadway shows and this was my first with no singing. Side note, the ushers trying to prevent phone usage was way more distracting then the phones themselves. But overall it was great! "

A must see
"I really enjoyed the play. I didn’t read anything about it so I had no expectations. Definitely recommend it for Harry Potter fans. The one thing I didn’t care for was how dark the stage was. I know you needed it that way but made it a little difficult to watch. "

Amazing time
"I thought it was amazing, people that bring their kids should make sure they have watched the Harry Potter’s so that they understand what’s going on. But the special effects and the choreography are absolutely amazing."

"I loved that it wasn’t a remake of the movie but another storyline later in Time with enough of the references from the original Harry Potter story…The acting was great and the special effects out of this world!!"

Amazing!
"Incredible production, you can feel the magic. Not sure if the time works for little children, may be too long considering it's not a musical. For real potterheads is a must!"

Not a musical, not a ballet, not just a play…. Truly unique and magical!
"Since it is a broadway show, I was not sure what to expect. I knew it was a play and was hoping they would not turn it into a musical song and dance type of show. Not only did I get my wish, but so much more. The reviews that use the word magical are all true…. Not just in the sense of classic magic tricks, brilliant and mind boggling, but also in the sense of fantastical, dreamy and enchanting. So much thought, preparation, practice and expertise has been put into each scene… the costumes, the set, the props, all are magical. The cast is fantastic as is all the back stage staff who helps pull off this truly wondrous and mesmerizing performance. Even if you do not know anything about the storyline, as one member in our party did, you are transported and delighted by the show. Cannot recommend enough. One of the best shows I have ever seen anywhere."
