The Broadway production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will have benefit performances on Saturday, May 12, 2018 to aid The New 42nd Street and arts education programs at The New Victory Theater in New York City.

So, for those who missed out on getting tickets for the shows in October, they can be purchased here, with most proceeds going to help fund The New Victory Theater.

Since its founding in 1990, The New 42nd Street has revitalized seven historic theaters on 42nd Street including the Lyric Theatre, where we welcome the Broadway production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in Spring 2018.

Proceeds from this special benefit performance of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will support the award-winning arts education programs of The New Victory Theater. A project of The New 42nd Street, The New Victory Theater is NYC's premier performing arts nonprofit for young people. As the largest provider of live performance to New York City schools, The New Victory annually gives 40,000 New York City students in-depth access to the performing arts, and offers high school and college-age youth paid employment and professional development through jobs in the arts.

About Harry Potter and The Cursed Child

Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, a new play by Olivier and BAFTA Award-winner Jack Thorne, received its world premiere in June 2016 at the Palace Theatre in London, where it continues to play to sold-out houses. The critically acclaimed play is the most-awarded production in the history of Britain's prestigious Olivier Awards, winning a record-breaking nine awards including Best New Play and Best Director.

Directed by Olivier and Tony Award-winner John Tiffany, 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, bringing together some of the most exciting talent working in the theatre today.
