HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD

Pumpkin pasty from the trolley witch, dears? This 19-years-later sequel is not to be missed! No review this time, under the author's strict orders to #keepthesecrets. But I’ll share that I just went to the Lyric Theater to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway ... and this muggle was mesmerized!

A few years ago, 3/4 of my family were home with the flu. We were self-quarantined when I received an email that my "virtual fan code" for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway came through. I entered an online waiting room with about 24,398 other hopeful theatergoers (they display your actual number in line - like at a bakery counter). Having absolutely nowhere to go that day, I waited. And waited. And waited, watching the numbers dwindle.

Finally, after almost two hours, I bought matinee and evening tickets for this two-part play in mid September. It seemed so far away! After end of school tests, summer adventures. There was still snow on the ground! But finally the day arrived, and it was perfection.

Sadly I can't tell you a single thing about it. But you simply must see it for yourselves. It is not to be believed. We laughed, we gasped, we jumped a foot out of our seats. It's full of wonder and suspense and humor and, well, magic. Lots of magic. Do go check it out. And #keepthesecrets.
