'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' is coming to NYC...eventually

The eighth installment into the 'Harry Potter' series will eventually make its way to New York City according to Pottermore, the digital hub for Harry Potter. 'Harry Potter and The Cursed Child' will debut in the Lyric Theatre on Broadway in the Spring of 2018. "We are still subject to planning, but assuming we get the go ahead, we will have the theater of our dreams that will be intimate enough for a drama, yet big enough for us to follow in the footsteps of the London production and continue to provide low-priced tickets throughout the auditorium." Sonia Friedman The Lyric Theatre will undergo renovations that will see the amount of seats in the theatre shrink from 1,900 to 1,500, along with other aesthetic changes. The play is currently only running in London and the tickets for the show are sold out through 2017.
