An absolutely unforgettable experience. We went in with high expectations for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and still came out completely blown away. The visual effects and stagecraft are unlike anything I've seen in a theatre before, with moments that genuinely made the whole audience gasp. It's the kind of show you talk about for months after. Yes, it's a commitment: two parts, each around two and a half hours with a break, so plan your day accordingly. But every minute is worth it. The Palace Theatre itself is stunning, with gorgeous Victorian architecture that sets the mood before the curtain even goes up. Seats are comfortable too, which matters a lot for a show this long. The staff deserve a special mention. They're very present, friendly, and strict about phones and noise during the performance. Some might find that intense but honestly it's the right call. It keeps the magic intact for everyone in the room. A truly rare experience.
It was a truly exceptional and unforgettable experience. I was thoroughly impressed and astonished by the performances of all the actors, the special effects, and indeed, every aspect was absolutely perfect. It is one of the best experiences for Harry Potter fans out there. It is highly recommended to visit before October, as they are consolidating it into a single show instead of two parts, which promises an immersive experience without cutting any scenes. Especially if you have read the play, you will not feel that anything is missing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had the pleasure to enjoy the magical experience of Harry Potter and the cursed child yet with the two part production. Though we are glad we did not miss any details, as we imagine the shorter version will have to cut out a few scenes, we were pretty exhausted by the end of the day. The effects brilliant. The interiors of the theatre were stunningly beautiful.
Myself and the family recently watched the 2 part Harry Potter and the cursed child show at the Palace Theatre. Overall, we had a great experience and the cast and show were incredible. Of course, its an old theatre so seating is tight and it could do with updating (not modernising). Also the price for ice cream at £4.50 for a single scoop or double £8, I felt was extortionate. Overall we had a great day out and would recommend to any one who loves the Harry Potter series to go and watch.
Just watched Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in London and it was phenomenal. Absolutely worth a watch. We used today’s tix to book the tickets. Definitely try the lottery which is released every week. We managed to secure two tickets for both parts and ended up with front row seats! The magic on stage is genuinely mind-blowing and had the whole audience in awe. From clever stage illusions to powerful emotional moments, it truly feels like the wizarding world brought to life. The acting was superb across the board, and the storytelling kept us hooked the entire time. If you’re even remotely a Harry Potter fan, this is an unforgettable theatre experience. Highly recommend seeing it if you get the chance!
