London Theatre Reimagines Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Tickets are on sale now for the reimagined one-part production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Palace Theatre.

The first performance will take place on Friday 9 October, with the reimagined production currently booking to 27 June 2027. The one-part production has a running time of 2 hours and 55 minutes including one interval.

Celebrating 10 years at the Palace Theatre in July, the final performance of the original multi-award-winning two-part production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will be on 20 September 2026, as previously announced, marking the culmination of a celebratory decade of extraordinary achievement, innovation and creative collaboration since the original critically-acclaimed production opened at the Palace Theatre in July 2016. Having welcomed over 2.2 million people, including over 300,000 first-time theatregoers, now is the final chance to book tickets for the two-part production.

Since its world premiere in London, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has achieved global success with 9 productions staged around the world including six productions currently running worldwide in London, New York, Hamburg, Tokyo, a North American tour, and the Netherlands production which opened earlier this month. Previous productions have been staged in Melbourne, San Francisco, and Toronto.

About Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

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.

The West End production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the only version worldwide shown in two parts and the only production where you can see 9 of the characters from the Harry Potter series – Hagrid, Bane, Bathilda Bagshot, Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon, Dudley Dursley, Young Harry and Lily Potter Jr – alongside Harry, Ron and Hermione and many more.
