HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD Australia On Sale This Week

Tickets for the Australian premiere of record-breaking theatrical event Harry Potter and the Cursed Child go on sale to the general public at 9am this Monday August 6 via HarryPotterThePlay.com.

It follows unprecedented demand for priority booking tickets, which were initially released to mailing list subscribers on Monday and sold-out the same day.

Producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender said: "We're overwhelmed by the response to our very first priority ticket release for Harry Potter and Cursed Child in Australia and thank ticket buyers for their patience whilst waiting in queue online. On Monday we will be releasing additional seats to the general public for performances up until November 3, 2019 so there will be another opportunity to purchase tickets. We are excited to be a step closer in bringing our magical production to Australia and making Melbourne our next home.

Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a new play by Jack Thorne, directed by John Tiffany. The production is one play presented in two parts. Both parts are intended to be seen in order on the same day (matinee and evening) or on two consecutive evenings, or each part can be seen separately.

It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn't much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband, and the father of three school-age children.

While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.
