Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender, producers of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, said “It has been an enormous honour to have welcomed over 2 million theatregoers to the Palace Theatre over the last nine years. We’re thrilled that the addition of these new seats will allow even more people to experience the magic of Harry Potter at our London home in the years to come.”

       

Nica Burns, Nimax Theatres Chief Executive and co-owner, said “We’re delighted to have taken this opportunity to further enhance the customer experience of such a brilliant production with the additional comfort of these new seats at the Palace Theatre.”

The current Harry Potter and the Cursed Child cast comprises David Ricardo-Pearce as Harry Potter, Claire Lams playing Ginny Potter and Ellis Rae as their son Albus Potter. Thomas Aldridge plays Ron Weasley with Naana Agyei-Ampadu playing Hermione Granger along with Eve de Leon Allen as their daughter Rose Granger-Weasley. Steve John Shepherd plays Draco Malfoy, with Harry Acklowe as his son Scorpius Malfoy.
