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.

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.

Review: HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts
by Albert Gutierrez - Jan 29, 2026

The reason the play works at all is because of the sheer strength of its production values and the commitment of its cast. When you look at all the design elements – sets, lighting, illusions, choreography – and combine it with performers who move through that space with the same ease as one breathes, it create a cohesive, immersive world that feels both magical and meticulously controlled.

Interview: Adam Grant Morrison of HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD at Ohio Theatre
by Paul Batterson - Oct 8, 2025

In HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD, Albus Potter (Adam Grant Morrison) and Scorpius Malfoy (David Fine) use a Time-Turner to go back in time to try to prevent a tragedy from occurring. If Morrison could travel back to his first role, he might try to convince his younger self to stick with acting because it was going to take him to places he could never imagine.
