 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' NYC plays break weekly Broadway box office record
According to Broadway weekly box office record, the current New York City production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child broke the one-week record in sales for any play, bringing in $2,138,859 for the week ending in April 8, 2018.
The prior record for a play (non-musical show) was held by the Tony-award winning production of All the Way back in 2014. Do note that the Cursed Child's total comes during previews, where prices are actually much lower than they would be during post-opening performances (starting from April 22, 2018). No doubt it will continue to break its own weekly box office records.
It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband, and the father of three school-age children.
While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.
Seven members of the Original West End Company reunite on stage for the Broadway premiere: Jamie Parker (Harry Potter), Noma Dumezweni (Hermione Granger) and Paul Thornley (Ron Weasley) with Poppy Miller (Ginny Potter), Sam Clemmett (Albus Potter), Alex Price (Draco Malfoy) and Anthony Boyle (Scorpius Malfoy).
