Breaking News: Cursed Child NYC Cast and Ticket Announcements!

Since the first report of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’s transfer across the pond to the Great White Way, fans have anxiously awaited news of the production moving forward–and that news has finally arrived! Cursed Child NYC tweeted a series of huge announcements earlier today regarding the Broadway cast and ticket sales.

The first tweet confirmed that seven members of the Olivier-award winning London cast will return to their original roles!

WhatsOnStage further reported that the seven actors coming to Broadway WILL be the leads of the original Cursed Child production.

This means American fans will finally have the opportunity to see Paul Thornley as Ron Weasley, Noma Dumezweni as Hermione Granger, Jamie Parker as Harry Potter, Poppy Miller as Ginny Potter, Sam Clemmett as Albus Potter, Alex Price as Draco Malfoy, and Anthony Boyle as Scorpius Malfoy!

The second tweet announced that 28 new (and, of course, brilliant) actors will join the cast, which will open to previews in March and officially premiere on April 22, 2018.
