Forget any worries that Harry Potter's leap to the stage would be stuffy, artsy, or light on magic. Rest easy, muggles, because Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a blast! This joyous, big-hearted play is packed with hilarious moments, outrageous events, and enough magic to rival Diagon Alley. Writer Jack Thorne, director John Tiffany, and a dream team have created a truly unforgettable experience. While the two-part, five-hour show might seem long, it's a forgivable indulgence. Cursed Child is a love letter to Potter fans, drawing its power from the sheer thrill of seeing these iconic characters come alive right before your eyes.

Susannah Clapp,
The Guardian4/5
“I have until now been resistant to the Hogwarts background: too much exposed to boarding-school capers on the page and in political life. Thorne’s sequel slithered me round to seeing it as one version of the bewildering, bullying, beguiling nature of institutions."
Andrzej Lukowski,
Time Out4/5
"Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is an absolute hoot, a joyous, big-hearted, ludicrously incident-packed and magic-heavy romp that has to stand as one of the most unrelentingly entertaining things to hit the West End."
Dominic Cavendish,
The Telegraph5/5
“British theatre hasn't known anything like it for decades and I haven't seen anything directly comparable in all my reviewing days."

Phantom of the Opera
Julia Grabowska
The overall experience was amazing but the most mesmerizing for me were the costumes and the set design. I will surely remember the boat scene and how the whole space got lit up by all the candles. It was a sight!!

I was visiting London for a few days and was delighted to see that Wicked was playing. It is my favorite Broadway musical. I thoroughly enjoyed the venue here in London.

Matilda The Musical
Gozde Gul
This is the first musical I have ever gone to a theatre in London. For me the Matilda Musical was astonishing. The Concept was so pure and the production of the theatre is amazing. The children's acting was so realistic. The actor who played Miss Trunchbull was so funny. I recommend this musical to everyone.

The entire experience was breathtaking. The music, the venue, the constant unbelieveable light show and the avatars. We had planned our visit for two years and it didn't disappoint.

Beetlejuice
Yasmeen Eisa Sabeino
It was a modern comedy musical score with bit inclusion of current issues on lyrics to rapping cadence to usual rhythm & theatrical music & melody. . The Actors acted so well and convincing, and the costumes & props are on point as I've seen in the movies. Had an enjoyable & fun night.
