BWW Review: HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS IN CONCERT at Providence Performing Arts Center
by Andria Tieman - February 19, 2019
Are you a Gryffindor or a Hufflepuff? Do you see yourself more closely aligned with Slytherin than Ravenclaw? These are important questions to know the answer to before attending one of the Harry Potter film concerts, because probably 60% of attendees are wearing their house colors, and when the conductor asks you to cheer for your house before the show begins, you need to be ready. Right off the bat it's made very clear that this is not a typical symphony performance. Attendees are encouraged to cheer for their heros and boo for the baddies--the Dursley family got no love from the audience at the 8pm show. For true Harry Potter fans, this adds another dimension to watching the much-loved movies, and it is absolutely thrilling to watch the Rhode Island Philharmonic score the movie live.
