Harry Potter and The Cursed Child at Eccles Theater

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the concoction of Jack Thorne and showing in Salt Lake City this fall. He wrote the original play with some direction from the original series’ author J.K. Rowling and beloved theater director John Tiffany. The original Jack Thorne script initially only ran for a humble two acts. But the creators expanded it to four for an compelling musical performance that audiences would remember forever.

This Harry Potter play adaptation begins when Albus Potter meets Scorpios Malfoy on their way to Hogwarts. While Albus struggles to live up to his father’s valorous renown, Scorpios stumbles on his own biased distinction as a death eater’s offspring or the circulating rumors of being Voldemort’s child. 

Each character encounters sympathetic development obstacles like carving an identity separate from their fathers and correcting the previous generation’s sins. They hope to craft a better future for themselves and their cohorts. Their method involves manipulating a time turner so that they can go back to the past and keep Cedric Diggory — one of Voldemort’s targets — alive. 

Can altering the past correct the damages of the present? Or will it make things worse for the imprudent pair? The Harry Potter play promises to answer these questions during its nearly three-hour runtime. The audience can grab refreshments and hydrate during a brief intermission at the performance’s half-way point.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child earned pop-culture impact with performances in Melbourne, Australia, Hamburg, Germany, and Tokyo, Japan. It has delighted fans far and wide since its 2016 premier at the Palace Theatre in London, England. Each production flawlessly utilizes original scores from experimental music phenomena Imogen Heap.
