Harry Potter Food App

[Lauren2]

Was wondering if anyone hasn’t gotten food at the Lyric theatre when you went to see Harry’s Potter. If so could you tell me what type of food it is, if it is good and how much it cost it would be appreciated!

I don't recall it being anything different from what you can get at the bar or sweet shop in the lobby, more about having it delivered to your seat than anything else. I am unclear whether the prices are very different if you opt to have it delivered.

It is all the same things you can buy at the sweet shop and the bar. They don’t charge for delivery. With that being said, I had no service in the theatre and the WiFi wouldn’t connect, so no idea how people would order anything. It’s free for them to deliver it.

Also, stay away from the soda at this theatre. I got a Diet because I wanted the cup and it was FOUL. Don’t know the brand (it’s in a glass bottle) but it is gross.

We didn't order the in-theater delivery, but the people next to us did.  The food is exactly the same as what's available at the concession stands, which is to say: not a lot.  As I recall, it was caramel popcorn, green/white jelly beans, red/yellow jelly beans, gummy bears and some fancy versions of M&Ms and Reese's Pieces.  Plus bottled water (still or sparkling) and some sodas.  They also had a snack tray which was basically a sandwich cut into fourths and served with some sliced vegetables.  The prices were pretty high - $8.00 for about 1 cup (8 ounces) of jelly beans, $7 for a small bag of caramel popcorn etc., but on par for theater snack prices.  No fee for delivery that I saw.  The snacks were good (how can Jelly Belly brand jelly beans be bad???) but expensive.

Same food/drink options at most theaters:

Candy
Popcorn
Pretzels
Chips
Bottled water
Liquor
Frozè
Soda

The food app is just for convenience to order from your seat. The same food/drink options.

Things in the ‘sweet shop’ are just glorified snacks that are arranged to be Potter-themed so they can justify charging you twice as much for the same things you would get at any other show.

Someone please tell me that they deliver snacks during intermission or have some sort of after-part-I and/or before-part II window for delivery, and that people aren't getting deliveries and eating during the show....

The servers are dressed like death eaters, so it just seems like part of the show.

That's amazing! If I saw this play as a kid, I totally would have tried to "Avada Kedavra" my server.
