Well... it IS time to believe in magic again.  And keeping secrets only made sense until they published the playtext anyway... Didn't they publish the playtext at pretty much the same time as previews started? They pushed the 'keep the secrets' thing for years. |

I think they were semi forced into it by pirate versions coming out and I seem to remember lots of people complaining about it when they bought as they seemed to be expecting a novel rather than the bare bones you get in a script. |

The script (Special Rehearsal Edition) was published the day after the premiere, so keeping secrets made sense until then. After that anyone could go and buy a copy. And yes, a lot of people bought it and were surprised it was a play, I even read reviews which complained about it. Shows how many people know nothing of theatre...

The Melbourne production is to join the North American production in becoming one part. I wouldn't surprise if this is a precursor for them touring that production to the rest of Australia, it's been there for nearly 3 years and that's fairly lengthy time for an Australian production to be in one city.

There’s a ticket available in the Noticeboard section at the moment.

At least in the US Kindle store on Amazon, it wasn't advertised as a script but as more of a sequel. I was caught by that, but Amazon refunded the purchase when I cancelled on seeing what it was (and wasn't). I don't think I was aware of the play then, so wasn't thinking in those terms. |

I have choice TT seast on 110 pound or side seat for 160 D29/E30 are awful, right behind a pillar, I haven't sat in them but the seats directly beside (D28/E29) which were much better but still a bit restricted. They've put those decent seats up in price sometime since the pandemic so they're no longer discounted sadly! If A5 stalls is available that's an excellent seat, and still discounted compared to those around it at £50 for both. |

lightinthedarkness D28 my beloved. be there and love it.. have't sat in A5 but A26 soo yeap they are lovely. Probably all better seat sold out . I was looking in December on some April dates ( when cheap ticket were still on sale) and you can buy E3 back then but only in a package with E4 for 160 £ ... probably no longer keep better rvs in BO (they released more less in 2 weeks before the date on the website but this "policy" was 3 years ago) I think i need start looking other show to visit ;/ ( lottery is no a option  zero chance )

Heard through the grapevine that the audience were made to leave halfway through the show the other day, nothing on social media except cryptic sad tweets by the cast/crew? Anyone know what happened?

The sad tweets definitely hint towards something very sad happening…hope everyone’s Ok. I notice Jamie Ballard hasn’t been on as Harry since a mid show cancellation in January.

Please can anyone tell if there are any loud bangs across the two performances and roughly when to expect them. Thank you.

Please can anyone tell if there are any loud bangs across the two performances and roughly when to expect them. Thank you. I'm going to see this in New York next weekend so would also appreciate the heads up (although the NYC version is one part and cuts a lot so I guess there may be differences) |

There’s one jump scare that’s accompanied by a loud bang in Act 3 (so the first act of part two). It’s a good few scenes into act 3 from what I remember. Without spoiling too much but to give you an idea of when to expect it it comes after the sort of ‘main events’ so to speak of that act.
From what I know of the new one part version it’s part of the many aspects of the show that’s been cut so won’t be in that.
Some of the spell effects are accompanied by noise but nothing too loud.

The show implies Cedrick becomes a death eater just because he was embarrassed during the Triwizard Tournament.

Have to say the short version sounds pretty bad

Apparently the intention is for London to be the only place to see the 2 part version and it will remain 2 parts indefinitely and why it’s being pushed lately as the “spellbinding original”.
Now that the Australian production is 1 part the only production outside of London that is 2 parts now is Hamburg though there hasn’t been any indication on when that may switch to 1.
What isn’t always obvious from a lot of the 1 part reviews is that a couple of the illusions have also been simplified so while they often claim that all of the illusions have been maintained there’s a couple that aren’t as impressive in execution.

Tbh I think that "indefinitely" means until it keeps selling very well, then they'll switch to the one part version for a couple of years and then they'll close |

zero chance )
