Tickets for the production sold out almost immediately, and the price continues to remain high, with some seats costing playgoers $350 per ticket. The show, which took home a Tony Award for Best Play in 2018, is a massive two-part production with each show lasting about two and a half hours with intermission. The play, written by playwrights Jack Thorne and John Tiffany in collaboration with Rowling, follows the original trio 19 years later, with the main story revolving around Harry’s son Albus and his friend Scorpius Malfoy as they attempt to change history with a time turner. It came as little surprise to Harry Potter fans when it was announced that the popular, Boy Who Lived, would take to the stage in April 2018 in a new story titled, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. The subsequent films would immortalize Harry Potter (played by Daniel Radcliffe) and his friends forever, leading to a massive theme park, lucrative merchandise, and a permanent spot in book/film history. The story, following a chosen wizard named Harry, captured the hearts and imagination of children and adults across the world. Rowling’s mystical seven-book series about the hidden wizarding world became an instant global phenomenon when it hit the shelves back in 1997.
