HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD Eying Broadway Next?

HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD does not open at London's Palace Theatre until July 30, and already there is buzz about a future transfer to Broadway. The New York Post's Michael Riedel writes: "Word is that Friedman and Callender are in negotiations for a Shubert theater possibly for next season. They may hit Toronto first, however."

Advance ticket sales have reportedly reached $32 million and the show is "practically sold out for the next year."

HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage. Harry Potter is back, and it isn't much easier to be the boy who lived, now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband, and father of three school-age children. While Harry grapples with his past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never truly wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.
