Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - One Part
A play by Jack Thorne, based on an original story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, set 19 years after Harry, Ron and Hermione saved the wizarding world. They set out on a new adventure alongside a new generation of characters.
John Tiffany directs. For its first ten years at the Palace Theatre the show was staged in two parts. From October 2026 it is presented as a single performance, the version staged by companies around the world, with a running time of 2 hours 55 minutes including one interval. The production has won nine Olivier Awards, including Best Play.
Buying advice
How to book
The new single-part version is much more affordable than the two-part production it replaces, especially midweek. It's booking to June 2027 and sells strongly, so the cheapest seats for a date still go first. An off-peak date is the easy saving: mid-range seats are £65–£85, against £80–£105 at peak, roughly 24% more.
Seats run from £25 to £175. Budget seats are £25–£45 off-peak, and the best seats top out at £125 off-peak but reach £175 on peak dates.
Ways to pay less
Book ahead, as the cheapest seats for any date go first. The easiest saving is to pick an off-peak date, where mid-range seats top out at £85 against £105 on peak dates, about 24% more. If you are happy to gamble, the Friday Forty lottery offers tickets at £40, though a seat is not guaranteed. Students pay from £28.75, and groups of 10 or more get the biggest reduction, from £45 a head.

Where to sit
At the Palace Theatre, the Dress Circle is the best in the house for the full stage picture, with only a minor rail in Row A. The Stalls put you in the thick of it, but the front rows are a stretch and the rear views are capped. The Grand Circle gets distant and tighter on legroom, and the Balcony is cheap but comes with real obstructions.
The Palace Theatre's own seating guide, level by level, is below.
