SIX on Broadway

SIX on Broadway [20737] Product Media

There is nothing I enjoy more than discovering a show and then going back to see it again (and again) with someone who has never seen it before. As someone who goes to the theatre for work, I view every night as a treasure hunt for the next theatrical crown jewel, and I love revisiting these gems time and again with friends and family.&nbsp;So when I saw a little show called <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/20737-six-musical-tickets">Six</a> for the first time in London's West End in 2019, I couldn't wait to evangelize about it and take everyone I know. When the show came to the U.S. for a North American tour before heading to Broadway, I took my brother and sister-in-law to the show at American Repertory Theatre in Cambridge, Mass.&nbsp;And when the show was preparing for its March 2020 Broadway bow, I took a good friend, dancing in the aisles at the last show I saw before the pandemic shutdown.&nbsp;Now, the production is the first new musical to return to Broadway since theatres closed, and in the intervening time, I've actually moved to London, where I was at the musical's first performance back in the West End in May 2021. So being back in New York for Broadway's reopening and seeing Six (for the sixth time, no less) feels like a seminal moment for the show.&nbsp;This time, I also took a good friend, who also had never seen the show or heard any of the music. Watching her experience pure musical theatre elation for a pop-packed 75 minutes was greater than any returning-to-theatre joy I could have imagined. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll dance. It's everything a theatre experience should be and more.&nbsp;So what is Six, you might ask, oh uninitiated one? The show is essentially a pop concert featuring the six wives of&nbsp;Henry VIII belting and riffing about all the "bullsh*t" they had to put up with from the king. Featuring vocal stylings in the vein of Nicki Minaj, Adele, Ariana Grande, Beyoncé, and more, the performers deliver a "histo-remix," in a concise and endlessly catchy concert-style show that is part singing competition, part history lesson.&nbsp;Now, you don't need me to tell you how popular the music is, as the U.K. cast recording has been streamed over 100 million times, and writers Toby Moss and Lucy Marlow (also the show's co-director with Jamie Armitage) have scored a deal to write pop music. Not bad for two students at Cambridge who came up with this show in school and premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe.&nbsp;The queendom has now gone global, and the Broadway production is bigger, bolder, and beltier than any Six I've seen yet. From new riffs to surprise costume reveals, every element has been leveled up for New York, leaving no stone unturned. Adrianna Hicks (Catherine of Aragon), Andrea Macasaet (Anne Boleyn), Abby Mueller (Jane Seymour), Brittney Mack (Anna of Cleves), Samantha Pauly (Katherine Howard), and Anna Uzele (Catherine Parr) form a tight ensemble, fulfilling all your girl group dreams and your next karaoke night.&nbsp;The show itself is a retro-mashup with Gabrielle Slade's bedazzled costumes featuring Reformation-inspired silhouettes; Carrie-Anne Ingrouille's choreography showcases Tudor-meets-pop moves; and Emma Bailey's scenery and Tim Deiling's lighting feels like what a royal ballroom might look like in a techno disco.&nbsp;Ultimately, the queens' own stories of overcoming struggles and the show's circuitous journey to Broadway are also beacons for the power of positivity, perseverance, and coming together in times of struggle. Just like these six "ex-wives," we've all had it rough for the past year and a half, and the queens are here to bring in a new regime. Long may they reign.&nbsp;Six&nbsp;is playing on Broadway at the <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/venues/lena-horne-theatre">Lena Horne Theatre</a>. &nbsp;

In *The Queen of Versailles*, Jackie Siegel has it all: a wealthy husband, eight kids, and a gigantic house she can’t wait to show you. Modeled after the Palace of Versailles but situated in Florida, the gaudy home is to be the United States’ largest private residence. Based on a true story, *The Queen of Versailles* is a new musical about glitz and greed.

Kristin Chenoweth, as Jackie, has played a vapid character with a big heart before: Glinda the Good Witch in *Wicked*. Audiences familiar with her signature humor and sky-high slinging will find plenty to enjoy in this new musical, penned by Stephen Schwartz who also wrote *Wicked* and helped catapult Chenoweth to stardom. Rounding out the cast is F. Murray Abraham, as a sleazy businessman, who is known for playing a lecherous wealthy man before, as seen on *The White Lotus*. Together, Chenoweth and Abraham offer a hilarious portrait of Florida “royalty.”

## What to watch for
- Truth is stranger than fiction: The musical is based on Lauren Greenfield’s documentary *The Queen of Versailles* and the life stories of Jackie and David Siegel.
- Vogue says “Not since she belted “Popular” in a bundle of pink tulle has Kristin Chenoweth sunk her teeth into a part so uniquely suited to her talents.”
- Stephen Schwartz is a theatre icon but has also won three Oscars for his music in *Pocohontas* and *The Prince of Egypt*.
- Bookwriter Lindsey Ferrentino is an Olivier-nominated playwright who has been called “a moral compass second to none among her generation of playwrights” (Variety). She had three plays premiere in 2024 season, including The Queen of Versailles, The Fear of 13, and The Artist.

The Queen of Versailles - NYC - Todaytix

This new musical is based on the life of Jackie Siegel, a former Mrs. Florida and wife to an ultra-rich businessman. She’s queen of Versailles — not the palace, but her own recreation of it, which is to be the US’s largest private home. But a recession looms, and Jackie’s dreams may crumble.

Get *The Queen of Versailles* tickets on New York Theatre Guide to see Kristin Chenoweth back on Broadway. The stage icon, Tony Award winner, and original Glinda in *Wicked* stars in the new musical *The Queen of Versailles* about the Florida woman who has it all — including the largest private home in the US she can’t wait to show you. Tony Award winner Michael Arden (*Parade*) directs this new musical by Stephen Schwartz (*Wicked*) and Lindsey Ferrentino (Kesselring Prize winner) that also stars F. Murray Abraham (*The White Lotus*).

Welcome to Versailles — no, not the palace in Paris, but the real-life, under-construction home in Florida where Jackie Siegel (Chenoweth) is queen. Rising from computer engineer to Mrs. Florida to billionaire status, Jackie has it all, including a wealthy husband (Abraham), eight children, and what will soon be the world’s largest private home. She is the American Dream incarnate — but trouble looms.

As the 2008 recession hits, Siegel must confront her ideals, real needs, and non-stop shopping habit. Will she (and her $100 million house) survive the turning tides? Experience The Queen of Versailles on Broadway to find out. The Queen of Versailles explores the true cost of fame, fortune, and family.

The new musical reunites celebrated Academy Award–winning songwriter Schwartz with Tony and Emmy winner Chenoweth, two decades after they changed Broadway forever with *Wicked*. It started off in Boston where it won raves: “Chenoweth soars in a fabulous, tour-de-force performance,” Theatrely wrote. 

WBUR called it “lavish, funny, and heartwarming. The Queen of Versailles dazzles in an exciting night of theatre,” and Variety said “Schwartz’s score is the most emotionally affecting of his long career.”

Don’t miss Chenoweth back on Broadway, and all hail the queen: tickets to *The Queen of Versailles* in New York are available now.

The Book of Mormon on Broadway [127] Product Media

An old friend of mine turned Mormon on me a few years ago to the extent that I no longer know who this woman is. I felt like I was watching a perfectly intelligent person be kidnapped by people who believe that God lives on a planet called Kolob, an angel called Moroni delivered golden tablets to Joseph Smith in upstate New York that are the secret basis for this religion, and oh yeah — there is the hair shirt thing. So it was with some trepidation that I saw this show. Even though everyone has been raving about it, I was still cautious.

The good news is that this production bowls you over. You don't have a chance to not like it because it, like the Mormons it depicts, is positive that something good will happen if you just hang around for awhile. And the message is that, in the words of Dr. Seuss, "We are all a little weird, and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love."

Two little Mormon missionaries - are they all white men? - are paired up together and sent to Uganda. Elder Price (Andrew Rannells), who could be the Ken to anyone's Barbie, was hoping for Orlando. Elder Cunningham (Josh Gad) is a sad sack grateful to be chosen for anything at all. Disappointment and enthusiasm are thus bound together and shipped east, way east.

Upon their arrival they meet villagers who are suffering from AIDS, drought, disease, and dictators. The villagers teach the two missionaries their favorite uplifting song, "Hasa Diga Eebowai." As life batters them in the head over and over again, it is this song that keeps them going. Price and Cunningham join in with that old-fashioned Mormon enthusiasm, only to find out that this song means, "F--k you, God." Welcome to the world, boys.

At missionary HQ they meet a randy bunch of also white boys led by Elder McKinley (Rory O'Malley) who have nothing to show for their time in Uganda - no Baptisms, no nothin'. But they do have one thing: their own musical theme song to aid them in times of question and doubt. "Turn It Off" - as in, turn off anything that means questioning the Mormon path: thoughts of homosexuality, memories of abuse, guilt of any kind. Welcome to another world, boys.

What follows is a love story where Price and Cunningham have to find their own paths without the other's help. Price tries to flee his fate while Cunningham deals fast and loose with his proselytizing. On the other side of the story, the villagers are caught between swallowing the Book of Mormon (the Third Testament of the Bible) as told by Cunningham, and making it through another day without being killed or having a clitoridectomy.

As a matter of fact, the clitoris is a focal point of this story and is mentioned, oh, about 30 times as a point of focus in Uganda. Here girls are raped and then circumcised (read: genital mutilation) to keep them from getting any ideas or pleasure for the rest of their lives. This subject is bandied about like a beach ball throughout the show along with child rape, frog rape, AIDS, maggot infestation, Spooky Mormon Hell, and Jesus. It is mentioned just enough to get people's attention, but I hope not so much that it will be dismissed as incidental or worse, a myth.

In the end everyone here is gullible and worthy of a dope-slap. From the Mormons to General Butt F--king Naked (Brian Tyree Henry) to the young woman Nabulungi (Nikki M. James), whose name Cunningham never gets right in a running joke that somehow works every time. The Mormons will figure out an answer to any argument. The General would rather kill than argue and wants everything and everyone to belong — to him. Nabulungi — kind of like the Little Mermaid — wants to get out of Dodge and go to Salt Lake City ("Sal Tlay Ka Siti"). Like the rest of us, the gal just wants to belong, period.

Ain't no one or nothing safe in *The Book of Mormon*, least of all the audience. This show makes you realize that when you are pointing one finger to make fun of someone, there are three fingers pointed back at you. And this news is delivered with a smile — a real one. Parker, Lopez, and Stone have a laser beam precision with the aim of a 10-year-old boy just discovering he can write his name in the snow when he pees. You don't know whether to laugh at the boy's delight or duck and cover. No matter. Either way, you're going to get some on you.

(Photo by Joan Marcus)<hr />"A newborn, old-fashioned, pleasure-giving musical has arrived." Ben Brantley for New York Times"The show is blissfully original, irreverent, outspoken and hilarious. And all that's tucked inside good -- no, great -- old-fashioned musical." Joe Dziemianowicz for New York Daily News"It's a fiendishly well-crafted, hilariously smart — or maybe smartly hilarious — song-and-dance extravaganza. The show's a hoot. The show's a hit." Elisabeth Vincentelli for New York Post"Like several shows this season, "Book of Mormon" is too long and comes close to wearing out its welcome before redeeming itself with a strong second act. And like most 12-year-old-boys, it isn't nearly as nasty as it would have us believe. Not that there's anything wrong with that." Jeremy Gerald for Bloomberg"Manages to combine outrageous parody, solid storytelling, and sympathetic yet goofy characters." David Sheward for Back Stage"One of the most purely enjoyable musicals in years." Robert Feldberg for The Record"Brilliantly original, hysterically funny and tunefully irresistible." Roma Torre for NY1"In a season of tuners mostly derived from old movies, stories and songs, it's a gold-plated Broadway miracle to encounter something so new and audaciously fresh in every respect of the word." Michael Sommers for Newsroom Jersey"The defining quality of this hugely entertaining show is its sweetness... One of the freshest original musicals in recent memory. It has tuneful songs, clever lyrics, winning characters, explosive laughs and disarmingly intimate moments."

MJ The Musical on Broadway [23379] Product Media

Michael Jackson, one of the most beloved and influential musicians of all time, chased perfection his entire existence. It's unfortunate he is not alive to witness the flawless production of <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/mj-the-musical" target="_blank">MJ the Musical</a>, a model biographical musical now open at the <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/neil-simon-theatre" target="_blank">Neil Simon Theatre</a> on Broadway.Under the exemplary direction and choreography of Christopher Wheeldon, the production gives context to Jackson's inherited demons and zooms in on his daunting creative process and peerless genius. MJ is the platinum standard the often uninspired, generic jukebox musical could benefit to emulate.&nbsp;The musical doesn't tell his full life story. The book by two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage narrows in on Jackson's Dangerous Tour rehearsals in 1992 — well before allegations of child molestation charges against Jackson arose. With the Jackson estate on the production team, Nottage has fixed this musical's lens on the stories the artist told through his music. Jackson's troubled childhood, pain, and loneliness fueled creativity and inspired the lyrics he wrote.Nottage's brilliant book gives the character of Jackson depth, and Myles Frost (who plays the eldest of three MJs who share the role) embodies the musician's complex persona. With every "hee-hee" and pelvic thrust, one can almost forget they're not seeing the King of Pop before their eyes. It's not easy to sing a Jackson song or move with the late star's precision, flexibility, and finesse. Many American Idol auditions have proven this true. But here, Frost has immersed himself into the spirit of Michael Jackson, producing distinct parallels to the icon's childlike behavior, restlessness, and paranoia.Frost gives this show not only his divine voice, but also a nuanced performance that humanizes the flawed superstar. In fact, all three generations of MJ exceed expectations. Little Michael (a talented Christian Wilson at the performance I saw) and young adult Michael (a fierce Tavon Olds-Sample) work together in seamless transitions to tell the full story of Jackson's early years.Both Quentin Earl Darrington (Once On This Island), and Ayana George (Broadway debut), who play Joe and Katherine Jackson, respectively, give powerhouse vocal performances. George especially shines during "I'll Be There," an affectionate duet with Little Michael. Though one can read Katherine as an enabler to Joe's rampant physical and emotional abuse, this number gives a tender softness to her love and vowed protection of Jackson.&nbsp;Darrington also plays Rob, Jackson's trusted tour manager. The smooth and swift changes between a man Jackson fears and a man he trusts give scene transitions delicate density.Musical numbers like "They Don't Really Care About Us," "Human Nature," "Stranger in Moscow," and "Thriller" are the show's highlight reels. The numbers are filled with Wheeldon's masterful choreography, blending modern dance, Jackson's iconic moves from the 90s, and deep, soul-stirring storytelling of the artist's triumphs and tribulations. The dance ensemble delivers paramount performances that leave an imprint on the memory. This team is a true tour-de-force.In the audience, some longtime fans sang along and cried, others who never experienced Jackson live remained mesmerized, and even a few skeptics cheered thunderously. They'd gasped loudly every time Frost changed a jacket or put on the iconic bedazzled glove.Paul Tazewell's magnificent costume design carries the cast through the MJ timeline seamlessly. A killer set by Derek McLane, amplified by gorgeous lighting by Natasha Katz, gives the show a visual beauty that makes it hard to look away.While Jackson's story is flawed, it's too complicated for anyone who hasn't danced in his shoes. MJ The Musical, however, is the perfect salutation to the life of an imperfect but gifted icon.<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/mj-the-musical" target="_blank">MJ The Musical is at the Neil Simon Theatre.

There have been moments in the history of musical theater when, like a twister, the sheer talent and whirling spectacle of a production have flattened any negative criticism that stood to get in its way. Take October, 2003 for example. That was the month that <a href="/show/wicked">Wicked </a>opened in New York to generally dour reviews. But since then, more than 8.8 million people have found the heart, nerve and wisdom to pay a visit, resulting in the happy scene of a Broadway house filled with as many teens as adults, and making a tale, born from a 115-year-old children's novel, one of the top five highest grossing shows of all time.The latest incarnation of this impeccably oiled entertainment machine finds a new gear courtesy of a British import. Reprising the role she played on the West End for three years, Rachel Tucker steps in as the green-skinned Elphaba, a.k.a. the Wicked Witch of the West, and nearly blows the roof off the massive Gershwin Theatre with her opening number, "The Wizard and I." As the song reaches its climax, Tucker raises her arms, not especially high, but in a crooked witchly fashion, showing off the kind of smart physicality she brings throughout the evening. Opposite her, as Glinda the Good, Kara Lindsay aces the delicate assignment of being both ditzy blonde and sensitive friend while showing off her clear soprano and great comic chops.Among the show's many happy surprises, Michele Lee turns up, in fine form, as the scheming Madame Morrible, and Arielle Jacobs charms us from a wheelchair as Nessarose, until that unfortunate incident with a falling house. James Lynn Abbott's best moment of choreography comes not from any of the numerous, raucous ensemble pieces, but from a beautifully rendered bit of quiet ballet that arrives unexpectedly during the energetic "Dancing Through Life." And Stephen Schwartz's classic score provides a wonderful playground for the cast to swing upon, while reminding us of this composer's important history. Close your eyes and hear strains of Pippin in "As Long as You're Mine." Find the hint of Godspell playfulness in the staccato beats of "What is this Feeling."The Wikipedia plot summary for Wicked is over 2100 words long, which speaks not only to the show's dedicated fan base, but to the fact that this is a musical with a lot going on. It's a romantic comedy with strong political undertones, an animal rights treatise with a talking goat and flying monkeys, a parable on the pitfalls of getting what you want, a warning on the limits of friendship, and an homage to a classic film. In the realm of mythology, green-hued creatures have never had a simple time of it (see Shrek, Hulk, et al.), and rare is the story, let alone the musical, that is centered on two women who are unrelated, yet have a complex emotional attachment, while still remaining starkly unique individuals. But Eugene Lee's epic scenic design provides the framework to tie everything together. The show is completely set within the machinations of a huge clock, the Clock of the Time Dragon to be precise. And whether or not you are up on your Oz lore, this seems, at first, incongruous with the magical proceedings on stage. Why is Glinda's bubble-mobile so pendulum like? But then the metaphor becomes clearer. "I would do anything to turn back the clock," laments Elphaba, and later she demands, "Wait just a clock tick!" Once a spell is cast, it cannot be undone. Life moves forward, and Wicked reveals itself to be, more than anything else, a cautionary tale about learning to live with one's choices.(Photo by Joan Marcus)<hr />"'Wicked' does not, alas, speak hopefully for the future of the Broadway musical." Ben Brantley for New York Times"It's such a 'Wicked' waste of talent." Howard Kissel for New York Daily News"The most complete, and completely satisfying, new musical I've come across in a long time." Elysa Gardner for USA Today"Overproduced, overblown, confusingly dark and laboriously ambitious jumble." Linda Winer for Newsday"Far too arch and sophisticated for children...lacks... sophistication and wit that would make it palatable for adults." Frank Scheck for Hollywood Reporter"The best thing about 'Wicked' is its stars, whose talents cast a powerful spell." Roma Torre for NY1"Lavish, ambitious and problematic."

Today I've got magic on my mind.&nbsp;The Harry Potter kind.&nbsp;Apparently so does the rest of the world.&nbsp;After seeing this spectacular&nbsp;<a href="/show/harry-potter-and-the-cursed-child">Harry Potter and the Cursed Child</a>&nbsp;I decided to borrow a book&nbsp;from the Library.&nbsp;I have NEVER seen a book available in so many languages.&nbsp;Some of which I don't even recognize.&nbsp;But who can blame them? Don't we all want to take a couple&nbsp;of classes at Hogwarts?&nbsp;Perhaps they have some adult education offerings.&nbsp;And about the owls.&nbsp;Henceforth I want all my mail delivered by a feathered messenger.&nbsp;In addition, I got my eye on a fetching fluffy white owl just like Harry's. (Apparently there were real owls in the London production until one of them took a left turn when it should have taken a right.&nbsp;Off into the audience it flew.)&nbsp;I want IN.J.K. Rowling's writing is masterful.&nbsp;Even though this play was written by Jack Thorne, it has her finger prints all over it.&nbsp;Under the spectacular direction of John Tiffany we are included, indeed, we are beckoned, into the world of witches.&nbsp;As observers only, of course, but that is almost enough.The story is richly layered, like all Rowling tales. The grown-up Harry Potter (Jamie Parker) is married to Ginny Weasley (Poppy Miller) and still friends with the entire Weasely clan because Ron (Paul Thornley) finally got his act together and married Hermione (Noma Dumezweni).&nbsp;Both Harry and Hermione work at the Ministry for Magic (the same one that threatened to topple Dumbledore years back).&nbsp;Today they are seeing their children off to Hogwarts.&nbsp;Albus Potter (Sam Clemmett) and Rose Granger-Weasley (Susan Heyward) are first year students.&nbsp;Rose, being Hermione's daughter, is thrilled and full of all the possibilities that lie ahead - like picking the right friends immediately.&nbsp;She relishes the idea that because of her mother she is already someone.Albus on the other hand is having a not-so-good-very-bad-day.&nbsp;Just the idea of Hogwarts overwhelms Albus.&nbsp;He does not want to be the "Son of Harry Potter."&nbsp;He does not want to be anything except a hormone filled boy with a wand that should really be licensed.&nbsp;Instead, he stumbles upon another misfit, Scorpius Malfoy (Anthony Boyle).&nbsp;Together they become a team of two misfits.&nbsp;And decide to take the past into their hands.If certain events in the past are just tweaked, they reason, then the present would be in much better shape.&nbsp;Lives would be saved, etc., etc.What they don't count on is ye olde pebble tossed in the lake routine.&nbsp;One event leads to another and pretty soon everything is ass over teakettle with the Dark Lord on the loose and aimed directly at the two mischief makers.There are some serious twists and turns, of course.&nbsp;But these are almost unnoticeable in the face of the special effects that are on display for our enjoyment.&nbsp;These are not the fancy schmancy special effects, but they are spectacular.&nbsp;They are simplicity itself, made of puppetry magic and lighting that tells us exactly where to look.&nbsp;This far and no further.&nbsp;The&nbsp;shadows are teaming with unseen life that are eager to reach out and touch someone - could even be you if you are in the right seat.&nbsp;The ensemble's choreographed movements, clean, simple and unrelenting, give the entire production a physical urgency. Even the program tells you what to read and when.Ultimately this is a tale of family.A boy who lost his father grew up to be one and has misplaced his parenting manual. Harry must rely on his wife, his friends and his mentors long gone.&nbsp;In the process of recovering each other they also cross paths with the past, and we are touched when the friends (and even a few pests) show up in the flesh.My friend who attended with me is a Brit and was concerned, lest the American audience was not as hooked on the Potter legend as the Brits. He needn't have worried.&nbsp;As one witch after another produced sorcery - the audience cheered.&nbsp;As characters we had only read or seen on the silver screen appeared there were gasps of recognition.&nbsp;We were children oohing and ahhing throughout.And when it came time, after 5 hours of immersion, to say good-bye to these treasured friends (all the&nbsp;principals take their bows en masse) we stood up and cheered farewell, like the crowds used to do when a ship was leaving.&nbsp;If given our druthers we would have put on an invisibility cloak and joined them.I mean, they do live there, right?As to the child? As to the curse? I have sipped the potions and am #KeepingTheSecrets safe. &nbsp;As the complimentary pins on your way out request.Bravo, Brava, Bravastrodamus!(Photo by Manuel Harlan)<hr /><h2>What the popular press says...</h2>"Time is a dangerous toy in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,&nbsp;the enthralling two-part play about the later life of its title wizard. Various characters in this deluxe London import find it in their power to journey into the past, which means altering the future, which means serious trouble for everyone." Ben Brantley for New York Times"There are more magic wands than you can shake a stick at in the wildly theatrical and thrilling Broadway spectacle Harry Potter and the Cursed Child." Joe Dziemianowicz for New York Daily News"The world of&nbsp;Harry Potter has arrived on Broadway, Hogwarts and all, and it is a triumph of theatrical magic." Adam Feldman for Time Out New York"Anyone still ready to dismiss&nbsp;Harry Potter and the Cursed Child&nbsp;as a cynical brand extension, or a theme-park ride on stage, clearly hasn't experienced the thrilling theatricality, the pulse-pounding storytelling vitality and the unexpected emotional richness of this unmissable two-part production. The ecstatic hype that accompanies the smash London import&nbsp;to Broadway is amply justified, and then some." David Rooney for Hollywood Reporter"This is no time for bogus expressions of sophistication. So, let's just say:&nbsp;Hooray!&nbsp;With Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,&nbsp;the Boy Who Lived has finally come to Broadway, bringing enchantment to a world that could really use a little magic right now."
