The Broadway production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has donated 1,500 tickets for the performances of Part One and Part Two of the play at the Lyric Theatre September 23 to the annual gala of the organization Lumos.
Lumos was founded by Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling to shine a light on the eight million children who are trapped in harmful orphanages and other institutions across the world. All funds raised will help rescue children from harmful orphanages and reunite them with their families.
Based on an original 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 received its world premiere in July 2016 at the Palace Theatre in London, where it continues to play to sold-out houses. It opened on Broadway April 22 and received six 2018 Tony Awards.
The Broadway production features movement by Steven Hoggett, a set by Christine Jones, costumes by Katrina Lindsay, music and arrangements by Imogen Heap, lighting by Neil Austin, sound by Gareth Fry, illusions and magic by Jamie Harrison, and music supervision and arrangements by Martin Lowe.
