I highly recommend this play. The story was captivating and had wit and touching moments; the actors/actresses were very well rehearsed and convincing in role; the costumes and scenery were also very true to the story and looked like they would be "authentic"; and the transitions between scenes were flawless. I enjoy sitting on the side of the theater so I can see some of the behind scenes things and it was pretty spectacular to see how much of it was done.
My only complaint, which is completely unrelated to the show and production itself, was that I had Andre the Giant sitting in front of me, so it was difficult to see without leaning to the sides. The theatre does have seat boosters meant for kids (it's really just a cushion), but they let me use one, so I could a bit better for the second part.
I really I could say more, but #keepthesecrets.

An amazing experience for everyone!
I'm a rabid Harry Potter fan so my opinion may be a bit biased, but I absolutely loved every second of this production. I've seen this with friends who have no prior Harry Potter knowledge and they loved it as well. There are some references you may miss if you haven't read/seen any of the previous books/movies, but nothing that will take away from the overall story, which is beautiful and heart wrenching. I have recommended this play to everyone I know, and would recommend it to anyone even remotely interested. It is well worth the price of admission. It is an experience you will never forget and will be a memory you cherish.

A must-see (if you can get tickets)
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was nothing short of incredible. I was blown away by the technical production, set, and all of the effects that were used on stage. I did not read the script prior to seeing the live production and I think that helped me to enjoy the experience much more. The hype about this one is real.

Harry Potter was the extravaganza that I expected to be. Amazing visual effects and pyrotechnics!
