Harry Potter was a pretty amazing spectacular.

We were so impressed with the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child! The special effects are out of this world! The whole experience was great. We bought our tickets online a month in advance - still had a good choice of seats. We went there on a weekday.

Simply amazing. Best thing seen in a long long time.. special effects, the background score, dementors floating around the theatre, actors transfiguring live on stage, chairs flying around, excellent actors, list goes on and on..

Just a fantastic experience especially for the cursed child show. The whole production and special effects really blow your mind on so many levels. I had my expectations and this place just blew me away.

I'm thinking that's a theatre question, but due to the length of the show - I wouldn't recommend it.

The Lyric Theater was completely rebuilt and it's new opening was in 1997.

Does the box office sell RUSH tickets

Alyssa Snow | Sep 27, 2019
Heather C | Sep 27, 2019

It's Show-dependent. Currently at the Lyric it's Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. They don't offer rush, but they do have the Friday Forty where you can enter on the Today Tix app the Friday before the week you're interested in. If you win, you pay $40 for both parts.

If you're seeing both parts in a day, (weekday) will it be too late to get food after the whole play is over? Or should I do dinner during the intermission of parts1 and 2?

Monique Rose | Sep 27, 2019
Jill White | Sep 27, 2019

We ate after the 2nd part. We did weekend shows and there is always something open.

Will it be cheaper to buy the tickets at the box office vs. buying them online? Is there a difference as far as processing fees, etc? Thanks!

David Hernandez | Sep 27, 2019
Gerry E | Sep 27, 2019

If you can buy directly from the box office, do it. Deals are better and less fees. If you have to buy online, do not use the Broadway dot com link. Way more expensive and they tack on large processing fees. Ticketmaster dot com is better, cheaper, guaranteed and you can buy insurance. Fees are added but minimal. Enjoy! #keepthesecrets

I purchased 2 tickets for my daughter and her husband for Christmas for both parts of Harry Potter on Sat. Jan. 26..there will be almost 2 hours between shows and I got a gift card for them for dinner close by. Can they leave and eat and come back?

Vic Cruz | Sep 27, 2019
Glenn Whelan | Sep 27, 2019

Yes. There is enough to time to get a good meal between shows, but I wouldn't risk going too far away from the theater. And it is an excellent experience!

I bought 2 tickets for the shows in Jan. for the 17th & 18th, Thursday & Friday. When I got the mobile download tickets, I received 2 tickets, but in the in the top right of the ticket it just says Jan 18. Should there also be two that say Jan17?

Brandon Westervelt | Sep 27, 2019
Caitlin Smehil | Sep 27, 2019

You should receive separate emails for separate days and/or part 1 vs part 2. Check your spam folder and maybe give it a day and then give them a call if you haven't received all four tickets.

is there an elevator or escalator to the balcony?

natalie andersen | Sep 27, 2019
Colleen Morgen | Sep 27, 2019

No. Elevator goes up to the dress circle, then it's stairs until the balcony.

The website says to show up an hour before curtain. That’s ridiculous! Surely if I arrive 20-30 minutes before curtain, they must seat me. What’s that about? Wanting me to spend money?

Elaine Bander | Sep 27, 2018
leah reinsager | Sep 27, 2018

1 hour is only necessary if you want to shop/look around before hand. they don't start letting people in until an hr before and the line only takes 15min from the back. we arrived 15 minutes before on the second day and there was no line and we had time to get drinks before it started. Enjoy the show! We loved it.
