Actor James Snyder fired from Broadway's ‘Harry Potter And The Cursed Child’ set

'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' is now ready to make its return to Broadway and this time in a new show format that combines the two-part experience into a single-ticket performance.

Produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, Colin Callender and Harry Potter Theatrical Productions, the Broadway show will begin at Lyric Theatre in New York on November 16, 2021. Tickets will go on sale to the general public beginning July 12, 2021.

The play is based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany. It is written by Jack Thorne and directed by John Tiffany. It acts as a stage sequel to JK Rowling’s original best-selling Harry Potter books and originally debuted in London in 2016 before opening on Broadway in 2018.

Rowling, in a statement, shared that “collaborating on Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has been one of the great joys of my professional life.”

The Broadway show will not only make its return to San Francisco but Toronto, Canada, which will shift to the new one-part format while the currently running and soon-to-return productions in Melbourne, Australia, London’s West End and Hamburg, Germany will continue in the original two-part format.

In a statement, producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender called Broadway’s reopening “an unprecedented moment in theatre history.” They said they were“delighted” to announce the debut of a re-imagined show “audiences can see in one afternoon or evening.”

“Given the challenges of remounting and running a two-part show in the U.S. on the scale of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and the commercial challenges faced by the theatre and tourism industries emerging from the global shutdowns, we are excited to be able to move forward with a new version of the play that allows audiences to enjoy the complete Cursed Child adventure in one sitting eight times a week,” Friedman and Callender said.

Broadway had been shut down since March 2020 owing to the pandemic.&nbsp;

'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' to return to Broadway as single show

After a hit debut on London&#39;s West End this summer, &quot;Harry Potter and the Cursed Child&quot; is in talks to move to New York&#39;s Broadway in 2018, producers said on Friday.

The play, based on author J.K. Rowling&#39;s popular boy wizard character, is being planned for Broadway&#39;s Lyric Theater, which will undergo a multi-million dollar revamp to house the elaborate production, the show&#39;s producers said in a post on Rowling&#39;s website Pottermore.com.

The Lyric Theater is one of Broadway&#39;s largest venues, with nearly 1,900 seats, and has housed complex theatrical productions such as &quot;Chitty Chitty Bang Bang&quot; in 2005 and &quot;Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark,&quot; which ran from 2010 to 2014.

In preparation for &quot;Cursed Child,&quot; the Lyric Theater will be remodelled with a slightly reduced 1,500 seats, &quot;to accommodate the dramatic look and feel&quot; of the play.

&quot;Cursed Child&quot; is sold out at London&#39;s Palace Theater until 2018, although more tickets are expected to be released in January.

The play is set 19 years after Rowling&#39;s book series concluded the boy wizard&#39;s teen years with &quot;Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows&quot; in 2007.

The play is penned by Jack Thorne, with a story co-created by Rowling, and centres on the lives of an adult Harry Potter and his son.

A book of the &quot;Cursed Child&quot; script, released to coincide with the opening of play, has become a best-seller this year, with more than 3 million copies sold in the United States within its first month.
