When amazing classic theater. So close to Times Square. On the outside he has all these classic columns and Masonary work call. It’s just starting to look at. A real slice of old Broadway theater history. Now in houses the Harry Potter and the cursed child show. I can’t wait to get inside and see it when I can get some tickets.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was the most dynamic play I’ve seen. The incorporation of choreography and music into a non-musical really bright a lot of energy to the performance and set the changing tone. The technical mastery to bring this story to life was unlike anything I’d seen. The overall ambiance and seating in the theatre was lovely. The overall performance spectacular.

Went to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. The play was spectacular and grander than I could ever imagine. The special effects were dazzling and downright magical. It must have taken hundreds of not thousands of hours to set up the theater for production. Even if you arent a fan of Harry Potter, the play is worth seeing just for the special effects. Otherwise you have no excuse.The theater is wonderful and regal and reminds me of Lincoln Center. Restrooms and plentiful and available on multiple floors. Even the downstairs bathroom lobby is nice.

This is a review of the theater and not the show.Lyric is a well-run, organized theater. I came to see Harry Potter and the experience was wonderful. The interior and exterior decor adds to the show. The staff is friendly and helpful. You get numerous emails and notifications on the entrance procedures.The seating is slightly uncomfortable after a while but its a beautiful theater. I sat in Orchestra row X on the even side and I missed some of the overhead action. Rows behind P are below the balcony overhang so you will not see anything happening above the audience. I might recommend the balcony over these rows.

Beautiful historical theatre on Broadway!I came all the way from Canada to watch Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and I must say it was a spectacular experience!I applaud all the staff at Lyric theatre for their friendliness and help, and I recommend this play to anyone who is a fan of the series!

One of the best theaters on Broadway. Won first row tickets to Harry Potter and the cursed child play and it was such a treat to watch it in this theater. It is gorgeous and we enjoyed every bit of it. We got some champagne as well and bar was just outside orchestra.

The show is everything you expect and hope - filled with excitement and magic. Felt as though it follows the tone and cadences of the book series well, with Part One being more light and fun and Part Two, a bit heavier and darker. Really fun treat for any Harry Potter fans and approachable for anyone who hasn’t read the books (my plus one had not and still understood everything).Also, you can order food to your seat and pre order your wine upstairs. It was a game changer come intermission.

Their staff! I did not see an upset or stressed expression on any of them. Every single one, down to the bathroom attendant, was pleasant and exuded happiness. (Maybe because the play on the stage was Harry Potter!?)My overall assessment is that The Lyric Theater is expert at keeping the flow of people moving. I was towards the end of a long line waiting for the doors to open, but when they did, the line moved through security checks quickly and efficiently. The concession stands are dotted here and there so you can purchase your snacks and move through the crowds. The clean, well-ordered bathrooms had different doors for entering and exiting. No need to push your way through people waiting to enter when you are done.There was seating by the bathroom and in some areas outside the auditorium for waiting. The seats within were well-maintained and clean. The gift shop items are also available online and I notice they are different selection from any associated with the “Harry Potter: A History of Magic” museum exhibit.

Truly a most spellbinding experience and I’m not just saying that because of the play this venue hosts. Quaint but well maintained, this theatre considers the details to complement the play - down to the floor carpet and wall paintings. Sound projection and effects are great during the the play, absorbing you in the moment. Nice drinks and snack bar, with a merch shop that leaves you spoilt for choice. Service is friendly and swift, security stern but professional as it should be.

Theyve done a marvelous job renovating this building. We were two big boys in the balcony, yet the seats were very comfortable. We loved the shows :-)

I have new been so in awe and felt so much wonder. Hands down a must see again. Everything was fantastic. I was living the best life ever. #gryffindor

Beautiful theatre with very helpful staff. Clean facilities and great beverage options to enjoy during a show. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has been snowing here for a while and it was long but very well done.

If you’re a Harry Potter fan, you’ll love this show. I’m a fan. ;). It’s a two-part show, so it’s a long day, but it was worth it. I was lucky to win lottery tickets via Today Tix so that was a bonus. Great seats too. This theatre was clean. For the above, I would have given more stars. However, the customer service was lacking. The employees were not friendly. They seemed annoyed at being there. This was from the waiter to the ushers. Also, had two drinks and a small popcorn which came out to $45 (yikes) from a waiter that couldn’t even crack a smile.

I’m going to take negative approach here. Went to a lot of trouble and expense to leave our family and fly to New York. Bought tickets to see Harry Potter. Sat down on first row of balcony seats 128-130 and literally couldn’t see a thing. I’m 6’0” tall which is kind of average and the angle of the seats makes it so you literally can’t see. Talked to two ushers who sent me to two to the manager, Libby. Libby said she’s come find us if there were seats available and never, over the two night play came to help. She told me to talk to the box office so walked to theatre the next day and wasted another 30 minutes and they said sorry. The tickets did not say there was an instruction. Libby and others said it’s easy to see and made it sound like it was our fault. It was bad. I get around and this was one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve ever had.If they had admitted the problem and told the truth it would have been fine. They didn’t. They blew it off and didn’t care. Really disappointed. Sadly it’s all about money and not doing what is right. That’s a sad commentary about a lot of things in our world today. Great example about how not to act and how not to treat people. Huge failure on the part of the lyric theatre.The funny thing was I looked around and could see open seats. I’m surprised that after intermission they didn’t come and offer to help us see at least half of the play. Disappointing.Enjoy the view down my seats...see pictures. I think it’s safe to say that was obstructed. :)

While I was in New York stopped by to see Harry Potter and the cursed child. Part one started off slow but will have to say part two was amazing and filled with action and thrill. The bathroom lines were a little long. Al the staff were helpful on helping to find your seat. Overall it was an amazing show!!

This theater is absolutely beautiful. Comfortable and has many options for drinks before a show and during intermission. Plus delivery to your seat which is awesome. We visited for HP and the Cursed Child and the theater itself is a key part of the show, which totally enhances the experience. Plus it’s close to many food options so, particularly for HP, it was nice to be able to eat quickly between parts one and two.

The interior has been renovated to fit the play. In my opinion, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Lyric Theater is even better than all of the 8 movies. (The books are still better though). If you love Harry Potter, you MUST see this play.

Very nice theater. We visited for the Harry Potter and the cursed child. So the entire theater from the front doors to the back of the theater sports look arge Hs. The carpet, walls and flags are adorned with this symbol. Staff is professional and polite. They serve a limited menu to your seat in between acts or you can go to the snack and drink area. Bottled cooks brew coffee is available plus wine, beer and mixed drinks at a reasonable price.

The entire experience was amazing!!!! The woman that helped us in the box office was an angel she helped us solve our ticket problem with ease. The theatre was lovely, the sets were amazing, the actors did an incredible job... My husband and I were mind blown !!

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was unreal. This jaw dropping, bone chilling, tear evoking, laugh inducing play was magical from beginning to end. The acting was phenomenal and the special effects were out of this muggle world!

Harry Potter and the cursed child is an awesome show. All the performers were great. Very funny and and keeps you entertained throughout. Actors playing Scorpius Malfoy and Moaning Myrtle stole the show. Would defined see both parts again at some point. Two thumbs up

Amazing Harry Potter play. Very cool theater. First Broadway show. I will return. Just wish I could take pictures without a flash. #culture

Seats very comfortable. Im 64..have seen Spider-Man, Paramour, On the town and now Harry Potter. A new spacious theater.

Gorgeous theater, amazing show! Even my husband, who has only seen the first Harry Potter movie, loved it!

Beautifully redone theatre. A lot of great attention to detail. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the current tenant. It certainly looks like they plan to stay a while based on what they remodeled. The ushers and staff were pleasant.

The theater is beautiful, there are some many details in everything, the carpet, the walls, the ceiling... everything HP related. There is a lot of HP merchandise available, a great variety of snacks and drinks to have during the play. It give the perfect and magical environment for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

This theatre is very well managed and the staff is very courteous and helpful. Libby was extremely helpful in helping me and my husband (who is in a wheelchair but can transfer) get to our seats and explain the process of where to go, restrooms, intermission, etc. Since we came with a wheelchair we had to enter the theatre on the other side through a different entrance. There was also a separate bathroom for my husband to be able to use that was very convenient and made the experience even more pleasurable. Overall the experience here was fantastic and would highly recommend this theatre regardless of the show that is playing (ours was Harry Potter) because the staff (Libby, Mike, and the lady that escorted us to the theatre from the separate entrance - Im sorry I didnt catch your name) were so amazing. Thank you!

Small theater. Gorgeous interior. No matter where you sit the view is great. Went to see Paramour from balcony, enjoyed it very much. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase and you can enjoy them right from your seat. Disliked the idea of popcorn sold at a Theater.

We did it. We saw Harry Potter (& Cursed Child) and the thought the venue was amazing. The acoustics and views from all angles were great. The ease of finding seats and of getting in and out was also A+. The show? Very cool indeed and recommended!

Saw Harry Potter and the Cursed Child parts 1 and 2 here and I have to say that the place is perfect for such an epic piece of theater. Huge theater, separate areas for snacks and drinks. Huge gift shop so you can shop for everything a Pottherhead may want. As soon as you enter, you see a spiralling staircase with just the perfect ambience to make you think you ate entering the hallowed halls of Hogwarts itself. Just go.

Wow! Unbelievable! Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was amazing! The “magic” and special effects alone are worth seeing it. I found the theatre to be clean, decorated in the HP themes. The security were efficient at getting people in and out. The ushers “played along” with the show, saying “Happy Voldemort Day” when we came back for part II, cute and pleasant. I was hesitant to spend the $ for a family of 4 to see the show, but I’m so glad we did.

The play was amazing. Well worth the money! And the theatre was a perfect place for it. There are no bad seats!

Was here for the Harry Potter cursed child play and it was a very nice theater and the upgrades they did for this performance was amazing and the attention to detail was unmatched. I do have to say the seats where a little small I am very broad shoulder guy and I had to sit at odd angles to make sure I wasn’t going into others personal space.

An incredible theater to see an even better show. The way theyve transformed the entire building to match the theme of Harry Potter is incredible and really adds to the experience. The foyer is pretty small, so you might as well wait to show up until seating begins 30 minutes before the show. Also seemed like the ladies washroom was smaller than demand.

Stunning! An integral part of the ambiance as well as the show itself.

Beautiful theatre with friendly staff and good facilities. We sat in the back of the theatre and still had a good view.

Wow. Just wow! Such a beautiful theater! The remodel is amazing. The secret lounge was worth every penny. Loved Harry Potter too!

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (Parts 1 and 2) are being performed at this beautiful fully renovated Broadway theater. The interior has been transformed and it is truly stunning. Even the carpets have a Hogwarts symbol!

Beautiful theater. Fantastic performances. Wonderful first time experience!

This is a beautiful theater, just lovely. The bartender was super friendly. Most of all, Harry Potter was incredible!

The cursed child was not the first show I saw at this location. However the remodel they did is beautiful on the inside. Every section of the lobby has a different theme that all connect to the storyline and give you something to look at before being allowed into the theater.Another reason this theater is amazing is because compared to other Broadway theaters the seats are not completely cramped and they actually have more than one restroom which help speed things up during intermission.

Cursed child is a masterpiece! Love Harry Potter and this did not disappoint. Dont read it first, just come see it. Its meant to be a play! Id come back to see both parts again!

Such an amazing experience! The show was excellent and the theater is beautiful. Our seats were on the far right, but we still didnt have problems seeing everything on stage. It was really lovely.

Great theater. Of all the theaters in NYC,IL,Denver and Miami weve been to,we loved how efficient this place was ,especially in regards to getting in and out. The acoustics are great and the staff was honestly superb.

Beautiful theatre in which to see the Harry Potter play. The play is extremely well done.

Absolutely beautiful, Our view was fantastic. The decor is elegant you become lost in a time long lost.

Absolutely beautiful. The play was remarkable as well. Im not even a Harry Potter fan but I truly enjoyed it.

You like the magics, you say? This is for you! Also, get the souvenir cup if you plan on having more than one drink. The womens restroom upstairs has a shorter line (so says the wife) during intermission.

Beautiful theater with great views regardless of where you sit. Staff was nice but will put you in your place if you try to take photos during the show. They also offer food delivery at this theater! Just download an app and order from it, staff on site will bring it to your seat in between intermission.

Beautiful theater with a wonderful staff and an awesome team!

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was a fantastic play. If you have not read the screen play before you go DO NOT read it first! One reading it kinda sucks and two the play however good it was would have been so much better if I had not read it. The theater is very cool. It has been done just for this play so even the carpet and wallpaper are Harry Potter themed it really is a Potter Heads dream. My only complaint it it was kinda more like going to a movie than a play many more people than normal did not fallow theater etiquette but the staff sure did try to have people do so. It was worth the 3 years it took me to get tickets.

Beautiful theater and great play! We went and saw Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

Very nice theater that has a reasonably priced parking garage on the same street. It was cool enough inside, sound was great and the all over theater was beautiful.

This theatre was recently renovated for the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (which is a fantastic play by the way). The seats are comfortable, the sound is good, but the theatre gets VERY cold during the performance so keep that in mind.Also the concession stands are particularly packed in terms of lines, so try to beat the crowd. Otherwise, great venue!

One of the best Broadway shows Ive ever seen and experienced. Truly magic. Story wise, I felt part 1 was better compared to part 2 but overall definitely a fantastic experience. Highly recommended and worth the price of admission

The security was polite and very quick getting everyone in the door. The staff were all super helpful kind. And what an amazing show!

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is currently playing. Every little detail of the theater has been thought out with care. The wall paintings are gorgeous. The carpeting is specific to the show. It really helps you to become immersed in the world. And of course, the show is amazing.

Great venue for an outstanding play. Cant miss Harry Potter and the Cursed Child!

I bought tickets way back in the fall months of 2017, to see both parts of Cursed Child on my birthday this year. The show was transcendent. Reading the script when it was released as a book did it so little justice. Anthony Boyle as Scorpius was an absolute delight, as were the rest of the cast. The theatre is also gorgeous in its own right, so get there early and explore a bit! Theres loads of merchandise to peruse, and theres an entire wand section with beautiful replica wands. I absolutely recommend the show, and the theatre in general. Definitely try the frozen drinks they sell on the main floor! They come in a plastic Cursed Child tumbler that you get to keep.

Went to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and it was incredible! It was such a magical experience! It was a total dream and I wish I could give 10,000 stars. The theater was amazing, all the detail they put into it, the carpet, the fixtures, Patronus wall, even the signs like the Cloakroom was so clever. Our seats were great and it seemed like there wasnt a bad seat in the place. 11/10 would recommend. If you have the chance to see this, it is so worth it. I hope to go again!

Box office was great and gave me last minute box tickets. Theatre is clean and renovated for Harry Potter, and the visual effects are out of this world!

Seeing both parts of Harry Potter today. OMG... I knew they changed the theatre, but it is so beautiful! Staff is great, too!

The entire staff was amazing...but a specialShout-out to Hector, who is one of the best and most personable customer service agents / usher you could ever hope to meet on Broadway. He took exceptional care of us — even made some great dining recommendations after our theater snacks!The Lyric has amazing lighting, acoustics, and visibility from every angle...and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was a tremendous two-night experience. Great show; great staff; great venue.

The theater is awesome! I came to watch Harry Potter and the Cursed Child after winning the Broadway lottery for it. The theater is decorated according to the Harry Potter theme, as there was a room with the different characters Patronuses and the bathroom area was decorated like the Forbidden Forest. I really enjoyed the theming! The theater itself was also very pleasant, and I particularly appreciated that the seats had more legroom than other theaters Ive been to for Broadway. The stage set was really well-done, and the special effects in the theater were great. The sound system was great and the line of sight was pretty good too. I definitely liked this theater more than most of the other ones Ive been to!

Amazing space and wonderful staff! An award winning experience in my book, great way to close out our NY Trip!

Beautiful theater! Restrooms located below the orchestra balcony levels.Very cold air conditioning as well.

My wife and I watched Harry Potter and the Cursed Child here and it was a lovely experience. The staff were very polite and helpful. The show was fantastic. Refreshments and snacks are very expensive. Popcorn is $9.00 for about 2-3 cups. Soda is $4 per refill and the collectors cup is $4 itself, so $8 for a soda and $4 after that. 16oz of cider was priced at $11. Other than the cost, it was an enjoyable experience and the theatre was lovely!

Whether you enter the theater on 42nd or 43rd, the lyric theatre its a beautiful and creative venue. However if you are here for Harry Potter, it is recommended you enter on the more crowded 42nd Street entrance to get the full immersion into the Potter world. There are large restrooms on the lowest level with a guaranteed line during intermission. In fact, there are much smaller restrooms on the dress circle level that will have a shorter turnaround. Be sure to read the historical backing off the lyric. Its fascinating story is recorded on large sums in the main lobby. This is what theater is all about. Enjoy!

The theater was remodeled for the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child plays and looks fantastic. The plays are amazing and a must see for Harry Potter fans.

The theatre is beautiful, the seats however are crazy close together and not that comfortable. Be prepared to get cozy with your neibor and being hip to hip. Forget obout trying to leave your seat for any reason.

Very very nice theater. This was my view from the last row in the dress circle. A bit hard to see but you get used it. Didnt like the harry Potter play so much, I know Im in the minority here

The recent renovations of this theater are amazing!! The current show (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) is a behemoth of a play, and it was amazing to see it performed onstage.

Beautiful theatre, perfect for the Harry Potter play

Harry Potter was amazing. The Lyric Theatre is Beautiful. We sat in the last row of the theatre, and just so happened to get upgraded our 1st night! This play is awesome from no matter where you sit..Go see it..

Great Broadway show harry potter curse child! Very good acting , 2 day show you will be engaged with effects and much more , its a must see for those fans of J K Rollings

The theatre has been beautifully redone for Harry Potter and Cursed Child. My only complaint is that they are selling obstructed view seats without stating that up front (see pictures). The play was fantastic though and worth taking the day off to see both parts!!

I went to see harry potter, cursed child. It was really amazing playing. The theater was also well made to enjoy the show

I went to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on 8/10/19. After part 1, I went to get a meal at a local restaurant and realized I lost my wallet. i went back to the Lyric Theatre in the hope I find it there. The staff were very helpful in looking for it. A custodian found it and brought it to security. I am very grateful for the courteous and professional staff at the Lyric theater.As for the show, fantastic! The cast, the special effects, music, lighting, the theatre, all amazing.

Was in NYC solo on Sat 21 December 2019 - visiting from far away - and bought tickets to both shows Harry Potter shows back-to-back. Unfortunately, the lady sitting next to me at both performances was so large, she spilled over into my seat and I couldn’t sit there. I asked to be reseated. Helpful usher went to management multiple times - but was never offered any refund - and initially no assistance at all. Finally after the ushers 3rd attempt I was reseated - but into an obstructed view seat in back of theater - for both shows. So, even though I paid a lot for my seat - I really can’t evaluate the show as I could only hear much of it. Would hope that the theater / production would be better equipt to handle these situations - am sure they are profitable. Really disappointing. Can’t bring myself to try to see it again. Unfortunately, can’t recommend the Lyric Theater.

6 hrs of Harry Potter. Beautiful on the inside, remodeled for the Cursed Child play. Did I say that parts one and two were 6 hrs?The seats are getting somewhat similar to airline seats in that the width of the seat is very tight. Also I have never seen lines for bathrooms are long on Broadway as I saw here.The staff to show you to your seats and to bring concessions to your seats seemed to be battle-weary.

Beautiful detail throughout! Be sure to get to the theater early so you have enough time to walk around and check all the features out the inside is quite spacious, with even roomy seats, perfectly comfortable for the show. There is also a refreshment shop that sells snacks, sandwiches, and drinks.

I havent been to many theaters, but I saw Harry Potter and the Cursed Child here the other month and boy did they do an amazing job decorating this theater. I highly recommend seeing this play or any other play in this theater as they do an amazing job.

This theatre is a dream! So much leg room in a lot of the rows (especially in the dress circle), MULTIPLE bathrooms with reasonable lines. Lots to look at before the performance. Clean and easy to get around. And Harry Potter was amazing too. :)

Had an amazing time at Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Pt 1 & 2 on Saturday Jan 26th. Our seats were row 2 orchestra and we were literally in the action. To keep with the #keepthesecrects theme I wont spoil any major parts of the play. The only negative issue if any would be our seats while in row 2 really based on our location and seating configuration of the theater were really row 1 and some of the action on stage we were unable to see. If your extremely tiny I would not recommend sitting this close. My wife is 5 Ft 1 inch and had a hard time seeing some scenes.Technically the actual first row center (we were right behind this) was even closer and even harder to see. Honestly though the special effect details you may miss are not make or break choosing this location and as a die hard fan it was a dream come true for me. The staff was above friendly and helpful. Merchandise was (and there is lots to choose which changes per part) priced much cheaper than I expected and this was a pleasant surprise as they could have hiked prices up 200% but they didnt. My final thoughts are two things I found helpful. The play has 2 entrances 42nd and 43rd st. We found the 43rd street entrance had a much shorter line to go through security. We breezed through 43rd St for PT 1 but waited in a long line for PT 2. After Pt 1 ended wich was 4:50 PM we had plenty enough time for a sit down meal on a Saturday evening at Olive Garden in Times Square and made it back to PT 2 before they opened the doors. The play ended at 10:10 PM .

The house is majestically refitted to take on the Harry Potter play, and the amount of TLC they put into it shows with all the different places to hang out before the show. The theatre itself is grandiose as well but the show? The. Show. Is. Phenomenal. The things they do with this theatre are unbelievable and your jaw will just hit the floor. I cant even go into specifics because of spoilers, but lets just say its impossible to even begin to expect whats in store.

I won the TixToday tickets for Harry Potter (4 tickets a SUPER price)...Show Highly Recommended ...but, the space in between the chairs all the same (small)if you have knee problems (require isle otherwise going to be uncomfortable). Paid for 1 inch more

Saw a play here and loved it. During intermission got some drinks and prices werent bad for NYC

Well organized for the crowd, comfortable seating, only complaint is that we had 8th row seats and the acoustics were probably designed better for behind us, we had a hard time understanding the actors in the first set.

The Lyric Theater is currently decked out in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child decor, from the carpets to the walls. Entry to see the show, despite being sold out, was smooth sailing. Vending staff were pleasant & some were super into Harry Potter, which was cool. It made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Id definitely see a show here again. Drinks are pretty pricey, but standard in terms of what you pay at Broadway shows.

Watched Harry Potter broadway here and it was amazing! The theatre house is detailed and vintage too! Sound system is great and seating areas are comfy. Definitely recommended theatre for broadway shows.

Went to see the new Harry Potter play and the theater was very nice and newly renovated. The line for the bathrooms downstairs go faster than up stairs. The lines for the bar during intermission get long and slow

All I have to say is WOW!! The amount of detail they put into the theatre in order to transform it into a full Harry Potter experience was amazing. They didnt skip out on any of the smallest details from murals, to the designs on the wallpaper. I took a trip to NY just to go here and see a play and it was the best decision I have ever made. The staff was great, the show was exhilarating, Ill carry the memories of this place with me for the rest of my life! I plan on going back to see more plays in the future (as this was the first Ive ever seen on Broadway). I HIGHLY recommend the Lyric Theatre!!

Amazing. This was the perfect place to see a play. We saw Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. It was completely magical!

Amazing theater, great staff beautiful upgrades and restoration. Had a great time watching both parts of Harry Potter.

Beautiful theater where we saw Paramour. A wonderful show and evening.

Cirque do Soleil Paramour was very entertaining. Different from the typical cirque shows. This is like a Broadway show with acrobatics

Wow. The theater was completely redone for Harry Potter and it is amazing!

The theatre is beautiful and everyone working there is super nice and very helpful.

The theater is delicate and elegant in Broadway compare to other theater

Saw Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Both theater and show get 5 stars.
