Of their experience with the writing during the lockdown, the creative duo said, “It has given us a unique opportunity to look at the play with fresh eyes and we have been inspired by the entire creative team every step of the way.” Upon the announcement of the slimdown last July, playwright Jack Thorne, and director John Tiffany said they had been hard at work during the pandemic to bring fans one condensed version of the story. The original play, which initially took Broadway by storm in 2018 as a two-piece performance, treated audiences to a total of five hours of storyline and forced those that wished to come to both parts to buy separate tickets.

Harry Potter fans have been long awaiting the return of the Broadway show, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and now, according to Deadline, we finally have some answers about when they can catch the Wizarding World back in action. Did someone say Lumos? Because the lights of Broadway are back! And with them, shows are lining up one by one to announce their debuts and reopenings.
