Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Australia – The Magic to End in July 2023

We are extremely proud of our Melbourne production and to be the longest running play in the history of Australia is an extraordinary achievement. Opening our production here has been one of the highlights in the life of our groundbreaking, astonishing show and we look forward to an amazing final five months in this glorious city.

Sonia Friedman CBE – Producer

Melbourne has such a rich culture of arts and theatre and we want to thank the Australian audiences for embracing our play. We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of our cast, company and creative team for getting us to this milestone and coming on this incredible journey with us.

It has been the greatest honour to play Harry Potter as an adult and explore the complex and thrilling story the creative team have crafted,” he said. “At its heart this is a story of family, and I pay tribute to the incredible family we have created at the Princess Theatre over the past four years, both those on stage and those we welcomed into the theatre each night.

All good things must come to an end, and after an incredible four years it is time for the most spectacular production Australia has ever seen to play to its final audiences. Melbourne has been an incredible home for Harry Potter and I can’t thank the people of Victoria for welcoming the cursed child with such incredible enthusiasm. I know they will ensure the show has a memorable farewell.
