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."

Hamilton
Kimberley Arnett
The performance took you on a journey through the late 1700s America, capturing the life of Alexander Hamilton until his death in 1804. The stage set... the ambience... every scene made you feel like you were right there in every room with him. Overall the musical was captivating and very entertaining from start to finish. Cudos to the cast for a job well done!

Disney's Hercules
Nneka Alleyne
Staff were incredibly friendly, visible and helpful for navigating the theater. The production faced a technically issue about two minutes into the show, leading to a delay of approx. 40 minutes. While this was unfortunate, crew kept us in the loop and once the show resumed it ran smoothly. It was a phenomenal show with incredibly talented actors.

Mamma Mia!
Tiffany J Mockford
My daughters and I were so excited to see Mamma Mia on our first trip to London! We met our aunt, and a dear family friend, before the show for a Mamma Mia high tea and then we watched the musical. The theatre is gorgeous, and the cast had such energy. We loved it.

Amazing! We came all the way from France just for this, and we really don't regret it. The staging is incredible. It goes without saying—you English are the best when it comes to theater.

ABBA Voyage
Nicole Sibbe
The concert was just amazing—the special effects alone were sensational. I’d go see it again in a heartbeat. It’s just great how ABBA pulled it off, and the organizers too.
