Harry Potter and Cursed Child is well worth the money. Excellent production. People may say it expensive but it well worth it. all the cast were excellent and an amazing experience. It was a great family day out. The play is worth another 2 stars.

We had an amazing experience there! Atmosphere is so good! For Harry Potter lovers - it definitely worth visiting. I put 4 stars because we were siting in balcony seats, and it was super uncomfortable and very difficult to sit until the end. I am tall enough, and it was difficult. Bit the view was good, and you can clearly see and hear everything. There is free drinking water available.

Great Theatre & Amazing Show but I was so uncomfortable. Watched Harry Potter The Cursed Child. The gentleman next to me who was larger like me, had no understanding of personal space and kept his legs wide apart and arms wide to his sides. For the first 2.5 hours I was polite and kept my knees together and arms crossed so I didn’t upset him. When we came back for the evening performance of the second half I asked my friend to switch seats with me. He is smaller than me but I’d shared my discomfort and my politeness. During the first half the gentleman was trying to be the same pushing back and eventually my friend pushed back. The gentleman’s wife/partner shouted across to my friend during the interval that “people who keep their legs wide have small cocks” I can only assume she was speaking about her own partner. As he did this to me for the entire 2.5hour first part.
This couple destroyed our enjoyment of what should have been a wonderful show. I took a sneaky picture. I hope they will refrain from similar situations in future.
There are manners, and as a bigger guy I do my best to make my neighbours comfortable with me.
They were both wearing green. Our other neighbours were great! We’d vacated the seats for this photo.
Sad day

This is a great theatre. Comfortable seats, avoid the balcony and the far corners of the rows. Currently playing Harry potter a really innovative and very impressive show

Had such a nice experience watching the HP play. We had seats on the balcony and the view didn't disappoint. The sound was also very clear. The play itself is pure magic, so I highly recommend watching it. The theatre itself looks like a little Hogwarts.

Amazing play ! And amazing cast ! The stamina they have and the memory to be able to act in an around 6 hours play ! And the effect. All of it was amazing and i recommend it to all of the harry fans. My only bad note was the tight seating. As someone with knee pain, it was painful to sit for so long in such tight leg space. Other than that, wow 🤌🏼

An amazing place inside & out. The play was wonderfully executed, brilliant special effects. The cast are wonderful as the Potter saga continues. The drinks & snacks are reasonably priced. The only thing (and I mean the only thing) that lets the place down is the uncomfortable seats.

What a show and superb acting by the cast and excellent performance by all the show crew members. I highly recommend this play to be watched by even none Harry Potter fans. 10/10 from me even though I book one of the cheap seats and viewing of the stage was limited at times. I may even one day book in the future watch it again in a better viewed seats.
