Review: HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD at Paramount Theatre
by Jay Irwin - Aug 27, 2026

Dear Readers, when discussing the play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”, currently playing at the Paramount Theatre, we need to consider things in two time frames, B.C. and A.C., Before Covid and After Covid. B.C. the show was only in select places such as New York, London, and San Francisco, and was a two-show experience (either on two successive nights or in the same day for a matinee and evening). A.C., where we obviously are now, the show is still in London, New York, and elsewhere, and is also touring the country (hence being here in Seattle), and is a condensed one show affair, clocking in at almost 3 hours. I managed to see it B.C. in both New York and San Francisco. So, how does B.C. compare to A.C., and how is the show on tour? Well, it’s still a spectacle, only a little less spectacular, and it feels like less of an event and more of just a show. But we’ll get into that.

Interview: David D'Lancy Wilson of DISNEY'S THE LION KING at Salle Wilfred Pelletier, Place Des Arts
by Noelle Hannibal - Aug 12, 2026

Canadian-born David D’Lancy Wilson is nearly one year into his run as Mufasa in THE LION KING. Next week, Pride Rock comes roaring into Montreal and Wilson is coming home to Canada. I had the opportunity to chat with Wilson about his life, career, and the experience of wearing the mask of one of musical theatre’s most iconic fathers. For Wilson, however, Mufasa is more than a king, warrior, husband and protector. At his core, he says, “he is just a parent trying to do right and best for their child.” As a father of two young boys himself, that perspective carries particular weight. THE LION KING takes the stage at Salle Wilfred-Pelletier, Places des Arts, 175 Rue Sainte-Catherine O, Montréal, QC H2X 1Y9 from August 19 - September 6, 2026.

Review: OC's Segerstrom Center Welcomes HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD
by Michael Quintos - Jul 22, 2026

In the fantastical, visually-enchanting stage play HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD—the theatrical continuation of J.K. Rowling's beloved magical saga—the idea of revisiting the past is embraced as its central theme, which in turn shifts the focus away from the mischievous school adventures that made the original franchise a global phenomenon, but, instead, explores the far messier realities of adulthood, parenthood, regret, generational trauma, and the very concept of leaving behind a proud legacy. The resulting stage show is a marvel of theatrical magic, mesmerizing in spectacle and movement, and filled with fantastical elements that will have audiences spellbound—even if the play 'borrows' its machinations from Back to the Future Part II.
