If massive success on Broadway could ever be a foregone conclusion, “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” would indubitably be the show to bet on. The two-part play has arrived on Broadway after a West End run, where it is a continuing critical and popular hit. The play has reaped a record nine Olivier Awards in London and continues to run at capacity business with no sign that the ticket-buying juggernaut will ever slow down. So it seems the producers made a sound investment in stunningly retrofitting the Lyric Theatre where “Cursed Child” opened on Sunday to provide a purpose-built home for Harry and friends.
