I've got good news for Potterheads who haven't been able to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on stage because it's only playing across the pond.
Pottermore just announced that plans are in motion for the show to open on Broadway in spring of 2018!
The Lyric Theatre in New York City will be completely remodeled — from a 1,900-seat venue into a more intimate 1,500-seat space — to suit the show's dramatic mood.
"The hope is that this theater will have its own soul and its own identity, very much a New York theater from the period and not just a recreation of what was made in London," set designer Christine Jones shared in the announcement. The public lobby also will be redesigned so that the wizardly vibes begin the moment Potterheads enter the building.
OK, so depending on where you live, traveling to Broadway still could be a trek. But at least now you can leave your passport at home.
CAN. NOT. WAIT!
