The Australian production officially opened with a red-carpet performance on Saturday 23 February 2019. Melbourne was the third city worldwide to welcome Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, after London and New York. It will unequivocally not play any other city in Australia.

The production marked its first birthday on Sunday 1 March 2020, with a special gala performance at Melbourne's Princess Theatre. In its first year an estimated 326,500 people saw the show, well surpassing any previous record set by a stage play in the history of Australian theatre.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child resumed performances on Saturday 26 June after a 4-week hiatus, following the lifting of COVID-19 public health restrictions.
