  The theatre was newer and looked nice. However this was my view for the first half of the show. I left after the first half because…well. Seriously? Why would I stay?! Will never go back to this theater again. Waste of over $200. The show sounded good from what I could hear. But everyone was having a hard time seeing. Absolutely awful.

  Wir wollten unbedingt obwohl wir nicht so Theater gänger sind mal eine Broadway Show sehen und wir wurden nicht enttäuscht. Wir haben Harry Potter and the cursed child gesehen und es war das absolute Highlight in New York, das Theater an sich ist super schön und die Show war mega gut. Sehr Empfehlenswert. 5 Sterne.

  My wife and I flew 24+ hours from Australia for our 10-year anniversary to see Cursed Child Tuesday night. The show was phenomenal! Tom, Aidan & Emmett in particular were spectacular. When my wife felt unwell (she’s post-surgery) an amazing usher let us sit on a bench at the back of the theatre so we wouldn’t have to miss the show or disrupt others if she had to suddenly get up — so a huge thank you to that kind staff member! Sadly, the night ended on a sour note. After waiting an hour at the front of the stage-door barrier, a security guard pushed me aside to bring a girl he was chatting-up to meet Tom Felton. Because of that, Tom skipped us completely and I didn’t even get a photo. The group beside us (who admitted they didn’t see the show) got autographs instead. He literally started with the girl next to my wife, skilling us completely, because we were busy being shoved out of the way by some random security guy trying to impress a girl. (I know he was security because he said he was, and then walked behind the barrier and joined the other guards after Tom left). We came halfway around the world to meet a childhood hero and that one moment ruined it. Please Lyric, ensure only ticket-holders get stage-door access and that staff treat all fans fairly. Still truly grateful for the magic inside the theatre — just heartbroken about how it ended. Thank you

  Absolutely worst theater I’ve ever been to. Atmosphere was stuffy, dingy, and hot. The staff were incredibly rude. They seemed as if they didn’t want to be there and very unfriendly. They left no time for people to exit the theater after the play ended. They were trying to rush everyone out, watching over us and leaving no time for people to use the restroom. I have been to many shows and theaters throughout my whole life and this is by far the worst treatment. Almost ruined the whole experience. The show was good and that’s the only reason I put two stars instead of one. Maybe hire new staff.

  Horrible staff and terrible experience at the bar. Came to the bar and as I looked around deciding what to order (30 seconds maximum), the bartender screamed at the top of his lungs “everyone must decide what they want before ordering!!!!!”. I purchased my candy and walked back to my seat. Very unprofessional and rude.
