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.

User reviews
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."

Moulin Rouge! The Musical
Wayne E Watson
Sets were incredible. The voice were stupendous. The acting was off the chart wonderful. Pure acting and singing talent. We sat in royal balcony and the view was fantastic. We look forward to returning to London and seeing another production at the Piccadilly Theatre.
(One recommendation would be to include on the website some recommended parking garages for those of us coming from out of town in vehicles.) love love loved it!!!

The Play That Goes Wrong
Rachel Mayes
The Play That Goes Wrong was absolutely brilliant. I haven't laughed so much in ages. The cast were fantastic and I loved the interaction they had with the audience. I particularly liked the mispronounced words and the visual humour.

Hamilton
Monika Sonta
An amazing show in a beautiful venue! Hamilton absolutely delivers – brilliant music, powerful choreography, and incredible energy from the cast throughout. The show is clearly physically demanding, especially for the dancers, who brought nonstop intensity and precision to every scene.
Victoria Theatre is the perfect setting – elegant, well-maintained, and full of atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, adding to the overall experience.
And a special shoutout to the King – absolutely hilarious and a true highlight of the night!
Definitely a must-see – unforgettable from start to finish!
