First of all I am a fan off all things Harry Potter. I am campaigning to have our grandchildren enroll in Hogwarts. What., You say it’s not real? Hogwash! “Cursed Child part I and II was/is a magical experience not to be missed. The scenery, the characters, the special effects - no green screens here! The theater was transformed, down to the carpeting. The only criticism is that there was no utter beer offered at the concessions. I won’t say more because... well because it’s like going on a fabulous vacation and trying to tell a friend about it on your return: if you don’t see it yourself it’s impossible to imagine. You must be there. Put a spell on yourself and... goooooooo......

Caught the opening last night and it was, as noted in my review title, Fabulous! The acting was top-shelf all the way. The stage direction, lighting and sound engineers were the best! Creative development of the plot through stage props was off the chart--especially the use of suitcases which functioned as classroom desks and tombstones, the great ways the staircases were used and moved really underscored the gothic feel of the period. We are so lucky to have this show in San Francisco! Kudos to all involved!

Just got back from the second part. Absolutely frickin' wonderful. My husband wasn't a fan of the play when he read it and I hadn't read the play---we both deeply enjoyed it in person. The special effects were amazing. It was Harry Potter with magic + Cirque de Soleil style movements. Just awesome.

Booked this while in San Francisco for 5 days from uk and absolutely blown away. The show was brilliant from start to fin ish. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute and magic was amazing. Well deserved of standing ovation had a brilliant night

Want a magical memory that will last until your very last breath? Well before you leave this planet, going to another dimension, it's spellbinding enough to visit the dimension of Harry Potter & The Cursed Child! Take your family and friends or go alone , no matter what , after watching HP your faces will be jawdropping for hours, days , months , years .

If like me, you're worried the magic won't match what you see on the big screen, and your vision of Hogwarts will be torn away - then you've nothing to fear. It makes you believe in magic just that touch more. The illusions you witness, the use of special effects and the story leads you to feel even more involved in Harry Potters world than ever before. It's a triumphant piece of theatre, and if I could use a time turner to go back and watch it again, I would!
