FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' a dazzling tale worthy of the wizarding world
9 / 10
The spectacle on stage is nonstop, worthy of a world beyond the universe of muggles. Jamie Harrison’s illusions — which include, but are not limited to, wand battles, levitation, flying, telekinesis, shape-shifting and conjuring/throwing fire so intense you can feel the flames’ heat in the audience — are a stunning display of just how far theater technology has come. That falling chandelier that had everyone gobsmacked back when “The Phantom of the Opera” first landed here way back in 1990? It seems like a Home Depot can lamp by comparison.
Review: ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’ is magnificently acted and created anew for Chicago
7 / 10
This is a production built to move on tour, and that means some limitations of spectacle in a show originally conceived to be this huge; the Dementors, those nasties who chomp on human happiness, will not here pursue you all the way in the balcony. The show stays behind the proscenium and there are not as many secret traps to facilitate Jamie Harrison’s singular illusions, not that you will notice. And, in all honesty, I miss much of the text shorn from the original two-part version, as written by Jack Thorne, Rowling and Tiffany. That’s especially true at the beginning as Harry, Ginny, Hermione, Ron and Draco (Benjamin Thys) send their kids off to Hogwarts, a familiar bittersweet experience for those of us who’ve sent kids off to school or college. The even shorter tour version is a little frenetic in places but then again (as Tiffany has said), the tour makes the show more accessible to more people. Incontrovertibly true. Incontrovertibly a good thing.
