Celebrate the September school holidays with Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Loved by audiences young and old, the reimagined, now one-part production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the perfect school holiday treat for families visiting Melbourne.

Declared a “bewitching triumph” by Time Out Melbourne, Harry Potter novices and fans alike will be enthralled by the action-packed adventure, which has been described by The Age as a “must-see”, and “a spectacular stage rollercoaster into the Potter universe”.

Originally a two-part epic event, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is now reimagined as a fast-paced, one-part play, so family audiences can now experience the full spectacular in one sitting and with just one ticket in hand.

Ticket prices start at $56.90 and a four ticket package is available Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Sunday evenings where groups of four can save $20 per ticket across Level 1 & 2 seating, making Harry Potter and the Cursed Child the perfect school holiday performance.

Melbourne’s Princess Theatre is the home of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in Australia, having undergone a $6 million renovation in 2018 to house the extensive technical wizardry seen on stage.

An estimated 326,500 people saw the show in its first year, topping any previous record set by a stage play in the history of Australian theatre, with over half of these attendees made up of first-time theatregoers.
