Volgende zomer gaat de langverwachte toneelproductie over Hary Potter in première in het Palace Theatre ...
The lives of Harry Potter’s murdered parents are to be explored in a spellbinding drama that will open in the West End next summer. Called Harry Potter And The Cursed Child, the play will open at the Palace Theatre – in the heart of London’s theatreland.
Tickets will go on sale in the autumn, meaning The Cursed Child will open in the middle of 2016, attracting a box-office advance the likes of which hasn’t been seen in London before. Think bigger than blockbuster musicals The Book Of Mormon, or The Lion King, or Wicked.
The story was hammered out by Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling in collaboration with John Tiffany – who will direct the production – and Jack Thorne, who has written the resulting play that this column first told you about more than a year ago.
The Cursed Child delves into what happened to Harry’s parents – Lily Evans Potter and James Potter – before they were killed by Lord Voldemort, forcing an infant Harry to be raised in miserable circumstances by his mother’s sister, Petunia, her horrid husband Vernon and their spoiled son Dudley.
Informal casting has already started, with the play’s creative team – plus producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender – keeping an eye on thespians with the potential to play the leads at the Palace Theatre
