Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Reviews and experiences

the theatre has this cosy, Hogwarts‑ish vibe that actually made the lobby feel special, and a kind usher walked us to our seats when my daughter slipped on the wet floor during the interval. They were apologetic, helped clean up and offered to check on her, which was something — could’ve been worse. So I’m grateful for the human bits: the staff who handled the rebooking, the woman in our row I ended up chatting with, and the small gestures after the slip. Still, I won’t pretend the performance lived up to the marketing; it’s loosely inspired by the books at best and more amateur than enchanting. Would I recommend it? Only if you’re curious about the venue or you’ve been tipped by a friend — and even then go in with low expectations. We left thankful it wasn’t a total disaster, just an expensive disappointment with a few decent people around it.

coat check was cash-only, which surprised me, and concessions were expensive but expected. Overall I enjoyed the night and felt the delivery and customer service were competent, if a little uneven in spots. Made the evening more relaxed than it might have been.
