Harry Potter and the Cursed Childis returning to New York City’s Broadway soon, but it’ll look different when it does.
TheTony-winning play, which was performed in two parts prior to the COVID-19 shutdown, will reopen at the Lyric Theatre on Tuesday, Nov. 16, as a newly staged version that playwright Jack Thorne and director John Tiffany have condensed into one play.
Producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender said in a statement Monday,according toEntertainment Weekly, that the “reimagined version” comes as a logistical tweak as Broadway reopens.
“This is an unprecedented moment in theatre history. After being closed for more than 15 months, almost all of Broadway and theatre across North America will return before the end of the year,” they said in the statement.
