Harry Potter and The Cursed Child at Keller Auditorium

The incredible set design helps transport theater goers back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Once the curtains open, the crowd is hit with an air of familiarity that is unmatched by any of the other productions on tour or on Broadway. There's somewhat of an adjustment period to get used to watching other actors playing some of these legendary roles. J.K. Rowling herself admitted when she first saw Harry Potter and The Cursed Child LIVE it was tough for her to see Professor Snape, the character, with his back to the audience and feeling like she would see the late Alan Rickman's face when he turned around. There might be those highly emotional moments for you as well on this Tuesday night if you're a big fan of the franchise.

Thanks to, the story being told on stage and the way that the background plays into everything it helps audiences to adjust their eyes a bit. That way, when you get to the main part of the plot, you're seeing "Harry Potter" as the character without expecting to see Daniel Radcliffe. You have to know, that you're getting a roller coaster of emotions with Harry Potter and The Cursed Child. This ride is much more exciting than anything that you can find at Universal Studios. Perhaps what makes this play so impactful is that it sticks to the tone of the books. It would've been a massive mistake to try and make this into a full-on musical to rival something like The Lion King. Most audiences would've hated the idea. Harry Potter isn't a musically led movie, and therefore, a story within this world on stage shouldn't be either.

It's essential to choose the right spot to experience this show at Keller Auditorium. They put a lot of work into that background to make audiences feel that they are truly getting on a train at Platform 9 at Kings' Cross for you to miss those details! Finding a seat toward the middle of the theater in a row that's maybe a little elevated could be ideal. People are flocking to see Harry Potter and The Cursed Child live. Don't be one of those folks who missed out because they weren't able to hit that get tickets button fast enough. Go now; worry about the rest later.
