The version of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child that audiences will see on its reopening in New York, San Francisco and Toronto will be a revised edition, in one single play.

According to playwrights Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, “We are incredibly excited to be returning to the U.S. with this reimagined Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. We’ve been working hard on this new version throughout lockdown and it’s been a joyous process of rediscovery. It has given us a unique opportunity to look at the play with fresh eyes and we have been inspired by the entire creative team every step of the way.”

Rowling herself said, “Collaborating on Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has been one of the great joys of my professional life. While no one would wish for what has happened over the last year, it has given Jack, John and the first-class creatives who first breathed life into the production the opportunity to revisit the play, and to find a new way to frame our story-with amazing illusions and some exquisite new staging-all the while keeping our original story intact. I’m so proud to be associated with this new, reimagined version, and to be able to welcome back audiences to the Lyric, Curran and Ed Mirvish theatres.”

There is as yet no indication regarding the London production which is at the moment looking at an October reopening.
