Award-winning Harry Potter play coming to Canada

TORONTO — The witches and wizards of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child are bringing their magic to a Toronto stage.

Mirvish Productions says the Tony award-winning show will make its Canadian première in fall 2020 at the Ed Mirvish Theatre.

Exact dates and ticket information have yet to be announced.

The two-part play comes from playwright Jack Thorne, based on an original new story by Thorne, series creator J.K. Rowling and John Tiffany.

The stage sequel to Rowling’s books follows a grown-up Harry Potter and his youngest son, Albus, who wrestles with living in his father’s shadow at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The play premièred in London in 2016 before heading to Broadway last year, racking up box-office success and awards that include six Tonys.
