Harry Potter and the Cursed Child astounds audiences in Toronto!
Opening at the newly refurbished CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre in Toronto, this is the sixth production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child to open worldwide. With an all-Canadian cast critics have described the play as ‘jaw-dropping’, ‘dazzling’, ‘heart-felt’, ‘mind-boggling’ and ‘like nothing you have ever seen before’.
The theatre had a full make-over for the show, owner and co-producer David Mirvish said: “I love the intimacy of it. No matter where you’re sitting watching this show, you’re going to be a part of it. You have nothing to hold you back, you feel drawn in. So the designing of creating a theatre inside a theatre was really brilliantly done, and all those people who thought that out really deserve a lot of credit.”
Producer Colin Callender went on to say: “It is the most beautiful theatre. It looks gorgeous and all the work that’s been done in preparation for the show has simply turned it into a magnificent theatre. It always was a magnificent theatre, but now it’s just glorious.”
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child continues to invite fans to return to the magic. With all seven productions now open, in six countries, on four continents, from Saturday, 25 June 2022, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will have actors performing live on stage somewhere around the globe continuously over a 24-hour period. That’s 288 cast members making 310 spells happen live on stage all in one day.

I saw it a couple of weeks ago in Toronto, and it was wonderful!! The actors were all very well chosen for their roles, and I left with such a huge smile on my face :).
I saw the San Francisco show. Highly recommended! I'm glad they condensed it into 1 show now. I sat in the balcony and the intrigue of this show kept me leaning forward almost the whole time. This was how exciting this show was, especially if you're a Harry Potter fan like me who read all of the books and watched all of the movies! There were so many unexpected plot twisters and magic tricks that wow me! Such an awesome night and made better that they passed out butter beer (butterscotch soda)! Thank you cast and I'm happy to be one of the phone flashlights for your opening night!!

I didn't like the book , to be honest , but I might like the movie , what I didn't like about the book was , that I couldn't pin point the characters , for what they were , I'm sure like any other book it was written with love , and I mean no hate , but the cursed child was just not in league of the series
