Now playing at the Orpheum Theatre through May 17, 2026, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child brings the wizarding world back—but in a way that feels more grown-up and a lot more personal.
Around the BroadwayWorld is our monthly snapshot of the biggest stories making waves across the global theatre community. In this March 2026 edition, we're bringing you a fresh batch of standout reviews from regional stages across the country.
The magic of HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD has officially arrived in Atlanta, with the first-ever touring production now playing at the Fox Theatre as part of the 2025/2026 Regions Bank Broadway in Atlanta season, running through March 15. To celebrate this landmark engagement, I caught up with Adam Grant Morrison, who stars as Albus Potter, Harry’s son, in this theatrical continuation of the beloved wizarding world. In our conversation, Morrison reflects on growing up in Atlanta, discovering theatre unexpectedly, stepping into an iconic role he once only dreamed of, and what it means to bring this magical story home to the Fox Theatre stage.
The North American tour of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is playing at The Fabulous Fox. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the first Harry Potter story to be presented on stage and the eighth story in the Harry Potter series.
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.
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. The show, which is the most expensive Broadway touring production at a cost of $23.5 million, will be performed from Oct. 12-26 at the Ohio Theatre (39 E. State Street in downtown Columbus).
The usher simply whispered “Enjoy the magic,” as we walked into the 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' production at the Providence Performing Arts Center this past Wednesday. The wife (Harry Potter Lover-read all the books 2-3 times) smiled while I (never read the books but saw a movie or two) pondered the statement and moment.
Rise and shine, BroadwayWorld! It is September 12, 2025 and it's time to catch up on all of the theatrical happenings you may have missed in the last 24 hours.
