With the recent unveiling of the new marquee for Broadway's Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the big question has been what magic is in store inside the newly renovated Lyric Theatre's interior. The top-to-bottom redesign (helmed by Christine Jones and Brett J. Banakis and overseen by Gary Beestone) has been unveiled in eye-catching new photos released by Ambassador Theatre Group.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will be the first production to call the Lyric Theatre home since Cirque du Soleil Paramour played its last performances in the space in April of 2017.

Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne, and John Tiffany, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a new play written by Thorne and directed by Tiffany. The production is one play presented in two parts. Both parts are intended to be seen in order on the same day (matinee and evening) or on two consecutive evenings. The production received its world premiere in July 2016 at the Palace Theatre in London, where it continues to play to sold-out houses. It opens on Broadway on April 22.
