Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- 19 years after Harry, Ron, and Hermione saved the Wizarding World, they’re back on a most extraordinary new adventure - this time, joined by a brave new generation that has only just arrived at the legendary Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Prepare for spectacular spells, a mind-blowing race through time, and an epic battle to stop mysterious forces, all while the future hangs in the balance.
This one-of-a-kind theatrical experience is packed with “thrilling theatricality and pulse-pounding storytelling” (The Hollywood Reporter). It will leave you “audibly wowed, cheering and gasping” (The Telegraph), as “visions of pure enchantment send shivers down your spine” (Rolling Stone). “You’ll be wondering ‘how’d they do that?’ for days to come” (People Magazine).
The friendship Draco’s son has with Harry’s is sweet 🥹
It’s a bit odd because normally Draco and Harry would be enemies Then they became friends when they were older now The sons are best friends
I ship 'em.
@GameplayWanderer What? They have chemistry and a better foundation for romance than their fathers ever had (for the record, I don't get "Drarry," at all).
I also wouldn't have mind Scorpius' last minute interest in Rose Weasley if they hadn't rewritten her character to be awful.
Oh you don't know what it's like to read this comment after seeing the performance in person
@@NobodyC13 No. They’re probably both straight
The stage ‘magic’ is just superb and amazing to see. I was lucky enough to watch both parts in London and would so love to see it again
My slytherin side envied you 🥲
It's b u l l ...t.... Not the same actors. It's ruined like the rabbit the hobbits were roasting in front of golem. All ruined.
Hustled watched it in NYC and I have to agree with you
@@BNJA5M1N3 Of course its not the same.. They couldn't make it a movie so this was the next best thing.
Honestly I just finished watching it in NY today and the effects were A M A Z I N G
Saw the play this afternoon. My kids are obsessed whereas I have limited knowledge of the series. We all LOVED it. The performances were superb but the effects are out of this world. The dementors are almost beyond comprehension. The production design and lighting is phenomenal. As for the story, I really enjoyed it and the play rattled along and didn’t feel 3 hours long. My daughters absolutely loved it as did my wife and I.
I wish they had come up with a better story, one not involving time turners and voldemort or anyone related to him. I don't think I could get past the terrible plot, even if the performance is great. I hope they can do something similar in the future
I agree. They mashed together the worst fanfic clichés in the HP fandom in the worst possible way. Draco, Scorpius and Albus are among the few salvageable aspects here.
@@foxbluereaver7457 Have to disagree on Scorpius' behalf, but it might just be McKenna's portrayal of him - there is nothing in it that makes me believe this guy is the living embodiment of social awkwardness living in the shadow of the "Voldemort's Son" rumor.
So, I'd rather see it with the original cast, Boyle did terrific with Scorpius.
And dumbledore's portrait. Fu*k
Yeah that story is freaking horrendous!!
Just watch A Very Potter Musical and go
To those who have only read the script without seeing it live -- there are MANY plays that are quite boring on paper (just reading the script), but really come alive when actors are able to interpret the work. That is the case with CURSED CHILD. I did not care for the story or the script too much when I first read it years ago. However, seeing it on stage was a completely different experience. Story beats, character moments -- stuff I had never thought of suddenly made sense and came alive. This is a story that is meant to be experienced live.
How lucky you are, to watch them on stage.. I only could dream about it
We don't say it's boring but that the plot is confusing and the characters unfaithful to the original series
I was Morbin when Voldemor was making love
Agree. Playwriting scripts are supposed to be appreciated in the theater/play itself.
Being boring is not the issue, the massive plot holes are
I liked the part when Albus said "It's morbing time!" and morbed into Ron, and then kissed his aunt Hermione, and proposed to have a baby with her...
Definetely one of the plays of all time.
What??)
@@dariasavina1056 It's a meme. Though I can't tell if you don't know that or you're adding to the comment and I'm taking your comment too seriously.
@@knick7143 I goggled about morb time and that's amazing joke 🤣
@@dariasavina1056 oh yeah, I was just messing with the morbing meme format lol.
But the part about Albus kissing Hermione and talking about having a baby with her really happened in the play. But instead of saying "Its Morbing Time" he used polyjuice potion. I wish I was making this up, but the script is that dumb, unfortunately.
@@rayfarron6268 that's crazy. He is just a child!
The lighting, the stage overall looks fantastic.
Such a pity that the play is so poor.
the story does need to be the strongest part of a good musical.
@@kamion53 Of course.
such a waste of production value
@@kamion53 and it's not even a musical. it's a play. so you don't even get the catchy songs that at least carry the story a little bit.
It’s one of those plays where you actually have to see it to enjoy it. I didn’t like the script that much since it’s so drastically different from the original seven harry potter books but seeing it in person was absolutely incredible and I just fell in love with the storyline. So many people are refusing to see it before they watch it which is rubbish because that causes a biased opinion. It was incredible.
Just saw this today in Toronto and all I can say is wow! Wish I could replay it again like a movie but it wouldn’t be the same as seeing it live.
You can always go a 2nd time. Today I did. Loved it just as much. You can call the box office and ask for a discount code. I got %25 off. Not much but it helped.
@@dexpup7722 in toronto ? where did you call for the discount ?
@@porteauloin the box office. MAGICHP works right now
I watched this on June 1st at Toronto, it’s even better than trailer
I'm going to a late July show in Toronto! I hope it's good.
@@suvash11 yesterday when I took a visit to Toronto I saw a sign near lakeshore saying that the play is coming again! Don’t think parent are gonna let me go :(
I saw it yesterday in Toronto it’s so good
@@Apollo_kid13 I saw it on Saturday. I loved it too
@@Apollo_kid13 I saw it two days ago in Toronto.. It was so good oml I love Scorpius sm
Saw this a couple weeks ago on Broadway and absolutely loved it. I thought the story was fun and having no idea of the plot, I was pleased with everything! Would absolutely go see it again, the magic and performance was phenomenal!
May I ask where you sat in the theater? I’m looking at tickets now and can’t decide ❤
@@MariaCyzaBeauty our tickets were at Lyric Theatre, Dress Circle Row D seats 111-114 and in my opinion, they were perfect! There's a few parts of the show that you'd want to be on the upper level for, not that being on the floor would mean you can't see them, I just think it was better being higher up. Also go with plenty of time to look at everything they have out before the show, we showed up with about 30-40 minutes before showtime and felt rushed. Also if you're buying something, don't try and buy it during intermission, it's too busy and you'll miss part of the show while waiting, and you don't want to miss any of it! 😊
Yes, I saw it on Broadway last Wednesday (And I performed at Carnegie Hall on Saturday! Woo hoo!). I really didn't know anything about it either and I found it amazing. As a person who has been in many stage productions, I was always analyzing it and the acting and transitions (as well as the special effects) were top notch and captivating. I forgot that I was even watching a play and not a movie.
@@MariaCyzaBeauty I sat in the first tier Row E seat 127 and only a few times did I feel it would have been better to be down closer below. Still enjoyed it immensely.
i saw this in New York, one of the best experiences of my life
Hey! I will travel to NY in a couple of months. Which position in the theatre is the best? (of course I don't want to spend 250 bucks...) Are the balconies good? Or I will miss some FX up there? It is better to be in the low seats? Thanks in advance!!
I would suggest the middle left or right at the bottom row, you will see the most FX and have a pretty good view (ive never been on the balcony, so i cant say how it is up there)
Horribly written play with ridiculous plot holes and canon breeches, but the effects look great. I may see it one day.
Wait, you said it’s a horribly written play with ridiculous plot holes and canon breaches, but you didn’t even see the play yet
@@brianorozco1074 I didnt see it too, but there is a book
Kinda a stupid comment to put if you haven't seen it you're just not in a position to judge it.
@@elixier33 there is a book so you can judge the plot just from the book alone
@@elixier33 there is literally a book.
i still remembr the sound effect in the show, its soo good it was a life-time experience.
the time traveling sfx are soo good and soo loud(not bad), it was soo good
We just saw it today and can’t wait to go back. The magic, the message in the story is fantastic. Can’t remember liking a play as much as this. Our 2 grandkids ( 10 and 12 years) absolutely loved it.
Glad you liked it. Lot of people have a rather different opinion on the subject
I read the script/book years ago. Me and my brother were going to watch the Broadway show in 2020, but the pandemic happened... Just earlier today (Feb 25th 2022), we finally got to watch it and we enjoyed the show. Both of us weren't fans of the script/book. But the Broadway performance made it worthwhile.
The music was great! And I fell asleep 😂
Unfortunately a great performance and execution on stage cannot change a terrible story.
luckily the actors are carrying this play but it has so much more potential
I saw this in person! I didn’t know that Broadway could do anything like what was done!
Broadway didn't. it just copied the West End production.
@@worrywart1311 I mean, for example, showing magic like it’s real, and making everything move itself like in the movies. Also, I see your online name is “worrywart.” I wish to sweetly say that worrying has never solved problems, and that we are happy because we are thankful, not the other way around, and that we grow old when we quit laughing, not the other way around. You can choose your emotions.
they should make a dvd for those who can't go watch it live...
They only care about the fans with more money.
@@TothanCrawk then they should do shows in major cities in the world
It’s looks amazing! I only have read the script which…wasn’t good but I do want to see this on stage!
The casting is a joke too lmao
Trust me the visual audio affects and choreography make the play
I wish they would just record it and put it online to watch
Can we have a dvd of the performance ? Like really, i dont have a way to watch on live, a dvd would be perfect 🙃
I saw it live and I’m dying to get a DVD or something, I really really loved it, but seeing it live is a completely different experience! If you can, I would highly recommend it ☺️
@@7auros sadly I cant, i dont have the money to go to another country+ buy the tickets... And is impossible to get a stage play like this in México...
That is why a dvd would be my only option 😭 (well and the book but I already got that)
I watched it in London. It’s amazing 🤩 I hope I can go watch it again another time 🤞❤️
I watched it in Toronto on Friday and it was absolutely amazing
I am seeing it today in Toronto. Looking forward to it!
I actually am part of the child actors in the london west end version of this..
Who are you?
Wait really?
wooow! really?
I saw this last Saturday in London, one of the best things I’ve ever seen
I really hope they might do a recording of this play on a streaming site like they did for Hamilton
Some of the best musical songs in this
I saw it last month in Toronto with my 9 years old son.. It was really AMAZING!!
Me and my mom saw this three years ago before covid started and we loved it.
I went to this play and Voldemor Literally walked down my aisle and I was sitting closest to the aisle and all I wanted to do was trip him
I am going this evening!! Super excited.
How was it? I went there around a month ago, so I must’ve experienced it around the time you did.
Watched it in Hamburg and my hearth stopped for a beat when the dementors appeard. It was super scary, go and watch it if you can.
Omg yes! And when all the writing appeared on the walls!
How to watch this movie is this movie is release
@@mfkgaming7203 This is not a movie, it’s an actual stage performance
@@mfkgaming7203 It's not a movie but a musical. You have to find a theatre where it is played.
I saw this today and it was awesome 😭 I loved it sm
When I tell you tears ran down my face! 🥲
Trevor White as Harry Potter
Luke Kimball as Albus Potter
Brad Hodder as Draco Malfoy
Trish Lindstrom as Ginny Potter
Thomas Mitchell Barnet as Scorpius Malfoy
It looks amazing, the actors seem great, but nothing could change the fact that the play just butchered those characters. I get that Harry, Ron and Hermione grew up, but they would NEVER act the way that they did in the play. They went through too much. The concept of "Albus goes to Slytherin" is interesting, but they made such bad choices with it. I don't know, it's just disappointing
I watched it last month in Hamburg, it‘s amazing!
How do you see everything clear..... from far seats..... is there screens?????
There are no screens, but you can always use binoculars. You can look up the seating plan to get a better feel for what the view is from certain seats.
It’s not that hard to see
I've just been in London. It's amazing!!!! You see it all.
I did my waiting! 20 years! 20 years in waiting! Let' s abandon it
Lol! Hilarious
I watched the cursed child and it was amazing! Great acting and effects and the characters had great chemistry!
I’m sorry but they did the original characters dirty with the new cast
And don’t get me started on Hermione 😭
(No hate to anyone)
I saw it when I Was in New york. I wanna move from Sweden to Pursure a Career on Broadway. MOVING FROM THE LAND OF MELODIFESTIVALEN TO THE STATE OF BROADWAY
Where can I find it in streaming,please?
I saw this yesterday best thing I've ever seen, the dementors the magic the set pieces it was amazing. ❤
LUCKY!
Oh it was wild, my group kept talking afterwards about how they even did some of the affect, favorite part was the UV light writing over all the walls
@@GuyWhoWatchesStuff omg yes I was in one one of the balconys I when I saw the UV writing I look too my right an saw Norse runes on the wall, along with vudu an hudu symbols it was awesome.
Yeah, the dementors were pretty darn cool!
@@moocraft8297 Hey! I will travel to NY in a couple of months. Which position in the theatre is the best? (of course I don't want to spend 250 bucks...) Are the balconies good? Or I will miss some FX up there? It is better to be in the low seats? Thanks in advance!!
I kinda ship scorpious and Albus 😮💨👏
My aunt and cousin was originally meant to go to this last year but something came up, so she ended up giving the tickets to me and my mum as my late birthday and early Christmas present, It was amazing
I’m so excited! The day I went to see it in London it was closed and I was so upset. Glad I have the opportunity to see the show without having to cross the ocean again
I watched this in New York City, it’s amazing! Just as good as the actual Harry Potter series.
As someone who’s read the script, I know that’s not true
You sound american
@@fashionablechangeling1988 maybe they talk about the visual efeects
My mom and I watched it in New York as well and we found it great as well
@@johnathantufano8068 yeah
Saw this for my birthday in NY and I was really disappointed by it, the watered down version is just not the one :( I think i've just been lucky with seeing the one in the UK 3 times
Show off :p
I saw it a few days ago it was so beautiful
They should call this the play that must not be named
I saw this show last week, it was fantastic. But there wasn't as much action as I anticipated. When the movie gets made, it will be fun to compare it to this.
This play enraged me so much that I wrote an entire fanfic with the same premise, but with different characters and a completely different plot. It was like a 150 pages long, and it's not even that good, but I still think it would have worked better than the shit show that was the cursed child
For real, did you post it somewhere online? I can't tell you how excited / disappointed I was when the screenplay came out. I even took my little cousin to the release! Ugh
I'd love to read your version!
i just saw it today and it’s crazy to say it’s very similar although different casts
Checked this out in Melbourne and it was spectacular
The production looks nice but god the story is a bit morbid.
ah yes, the cursed addition to harry potter because jkr should’ve put the pen down when she said wizards used to shit themselves and clean themselves up with magic before toilets were invented
she didnt use a pen for that
@@VincentWeasleyPotter … it’s a metaphor 💀 and not the point lmfao
yeah, the plot sucks and the characters are pretty unfaithful but it was definitely a cool spectacle.
I’m seeing it on Wednesday! I’m soooo hyped!!!!
Poor guy, I was just like you when I red the book and I ended up like Oedipus.
How was it?
@@davidgomez8566 i really enjoyed it in london :D
I saw this today in Toronto and it was superb - I can’t stop thinking how amazing it was 🤍
@Editzs daily yes it was and the amount of work and attention to detail that went into it is incredible
It's Cursed Child cos Hermione change skin color under PC Woknes Curse??
Sadly the script reads like mediocre fan fiction. But at least the visuals look cool.
I can feel in the future someone will definietely make a movie of this in the future. Waking every Potterheads once again
Theyd have to make a lot of changes then. Most Harry Potter fans are in agreement that this is THE WORST piece of Harry Potter media. So much so that most deem it non-canon lol!
Making a movie would probably be the worst possible decision regarding HP. It would be like the last Star Wars trilogy made by Disney : best way to kill a licence. The plot is just awful. I read fanfictions that were way better than that, without plot holes as big as Asia.
I only saw this like two weeks ago and I already miss seeing it
Do u think it’s appropriate for kids? Like is their romance or anything weird?
@@lyallamagsi2965 nah there’s no romance at all, it’s more appropriate than the movies were
@@itslunar8058 That’s great to hear! Bc I’m not really the biggest fan of romance stuff lol, tysm for the quick reply! :)
@@lyallamagsi2965 np!
Oh this was amazing live iam never going to forget the experience it was just incredible
I’m sorry to anyone who I had to sit through “Harry Potter and the cursed play”
All the people calling it shit have to stop until they see it live its awsome
They’re really into those cape flourishes. Calm down.
I went to watch in London a few days was absolutely outstanding!!
I would LOVE to find out how they do all of the magic effects so I can also do it
no Broadway just make a movie
I had no idea it was a musical. Did it always have songs and choreography??
It's not a musical. It has music, and "dances", especially during scene changes, but no singing.
I'm a bit disappointed and sad because Daniel Radcliffe is hesitating to cast in Cursed Child. And I don't want the producers to recast the actors.
Are they making a movie of it ?
@@tiffany5333 A think the director of Harry Potter movies said that he would love to make Cursed Child a movie, but I'm not really sure of how they would do it if Daniel Radcliffe says he doesn't want to, at least Tom Felton has said that he would love to play a Malfoy again.
@@tiffany5333 Hope not. It would kill HP as efficiently as Disney killed Star Wars with its new trilogy. The story is just awful and many fans would not go see the movie at all, just like what happened with Solo (first Star Wars movie to lose money) and Star Wars 9.
@@Alexielios yeah, I'd watch a movie with Radcliffe if it was significantly better than Cursed Child. At least as good as Fantastic Beasts. But if he was in cursed child, in sorry but I'm not watching that
Saw this in Tokyo. What a ride!!
I love Harry Potter I am obsessed with it is my favourite movie now I might get to watch it on the cinema
The only accepted gay moments we need is Draco's son and Harry's son.
And the news say: "World Wide Casting for the new Harry Potter 😎"
한국에도 공연 왔으면 좋겠다❤
Saw this; it was quite satisfying for this HP fan! I wish it were a full on musical though-- heard a rumor that Rowling doesn't like musicales, hence the no singing. I do like that they worked in some nice choreography at least.
Thank you for answering my question.
yea Good luck getting tickets..
by the time this was 1 - 2 years old there was a 6 -8 months waiting piriod
Here is the thing... I also want to watch it and am ready to spend all my savings, but I don't live in any places where I can watch this. Is it allowed to record the show?
No, photography and filming are both strictly prohibited and they will probably come chasing after you if they see any signs of that
I read the script and I disliked the story. It was inconsistent to the 7 books and Harry Potter canon. The story has plot holes and plot conveniences. The main character is not Harry Potter. There is one scene in the script that I would refuse to show anyone. After reading the script, I felt disconnected to Harry Potter.
yea, it's awful.. jk Rowling didn't write it but I guess she really wanted a play about Harry so gave them the greenlight.
Well duh it’s not about Harry Potter. It’s supposed to be about what happened to Albus when he went to Hogwarts.
Yeah I don't think i could get past the horrible plot and one- dimensional characters. I hope they can do something similar in the future, but based on a better plot.
does that mean there will be a new movie soon?
where can i watch the full version online pls
Just saw it today, it was so good, Albus and Scorpius were *very* fruity, and the fire was real👹
If the original cast choose not to return and with some resting (RIP) a series with all new faces would be a great starting point only problem I think Disney owns it not sure tho
Where can I watch it online
Just curious since I haven't read the book but do they actually do this stuff like being friends and stuff
I thought the book is excellent however I wish I can see the play but live to far from the places that do the play
these comments seem to be written by the same doe eyed huffelpuffs in serious need of a trip to mungos
Huh Where To Watch
When you put some garbage on a Golden plate
I have a question to anyone who has watched Harry Potter and the Cursed Child parts 1 and 2. I thank anyone who can shed a light into this matter.
I have bought tickets to see this play on the Palace Theatre in London with my parents on March. We will be travelling from Spain. The case is that my mother had a surgical procedure in her back some time ago, for the relief of pain and other symptoms that occur when a herniated disc in the spine presses on an adjacent nerve root. So basically she can't be seated during too much hours. Of course she will make an effort for this special occasion, but taking into account that both parts last two and a half hours, I am afraid she might can't make it. I made sure to buy tickets for the Dress Circle, which I understand is the best, but still...
So my question is, in case she didn't have a good day with the pain... which part is worthier watching, One or Two? And I am only talking in terms of special effects (spells and stuff) since she doesn't speak English anyway, she is going simply to witness an spectacular play. She is a GREAT Harry Potter fan.
Mesmerising !
i wish real actors,and real set..this is so sad 🥺
It's a good plot for theater. But a terrible one for a book. Like always, theater saved bad books
Saw this in new york was alot of fun my favorite part was the dementors
I’ll stick to watching the movies thank you 😂
Ok
None of your pretty visuals, great music, and good acting don’t mean shit if the story is the worst fanfic possible.
I saw it and it very much does, thought not this one
