Harry Potter and The Cursed Child

Harry Potter and The Cursed Child at KeyBank State Theatre

The magic you cannot pause, rewind or stream later. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child returns to the wizarding world at KeyBank State Theatre on Saturday, August 28.

For fans who grew up with Hogwarts, there is something especially satisfying about seeing a familiar universe pushed into new emotional territory. Newcomers are pulled in just as fast. The story picks up 19 years after the original series, when Harry's son Albus forms an uneasy bond with Draco Malfoy's son Scorpius, and the past starts pushing back in dangerous ways. When the illusions happen inches from the audience, the story turns into an event. Reveals and transformations have to land in front of you, with the timing and tension to match.

A theater full of people reacting at once is part of the magic. Gasps, laughter and applause all travel through the room together. The historic KeyBank State Theatre gives the evening a grand downtown Cleveland setting. Saturday, August 28 puts it right in the heart of the weekend. It falls early in the run. Two performances are scheduled for this date, so you can pick the one that suits your day. If you have followed the wizarding world for years, see how far the story has traveled.
