Wands at the ready J.K Rowling and Jack Thorne's theatrical heavyweight, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is heading on tour! Following record-breaking and multi-award-winning runs on London's West End and Broadway, Chicago audiences can now experience the magic of the astounding production as it launches the trek with a 21-week engagement at the James M. Nederlander Theatre, beginning in fall 2024. A continuation of The Boy Who Lived's story, 'Cursed Child catches up with Harry and co as grown-ups where the challenges of adulthood, jobs, and kids prove far scarier than anything Voldemort could have cooked up!

Leaving critics impressed and fans bowled over, the show expertly recaptures the magic of the books, while crafting a totally unique world of its own. The story is brought to life with an intelligent script, wondrous costumes and a whole Defence Against the Dark Arts class worth of great theatrical special effects. The wish of every Potter fan to find out what happens after the final line of The Deathly Hallows is truly granted!

The producers of The Cursed Child want every Potter fan heading into the play to be surprised by its twists and turns, so we won't reveal too much!

Harry and Ginny's son Albus is just starting his first term at Hogwarts, yet his father's reputation hangs heavy around his neck, and he resents being only known as the son of The Boy Who Lived. Yet when sinister forces from Harry's past reemerge into the world, Albus must embrace the Potter legacy for the battles to come...
