It's almost time to put the wands back in the pockets and hang up the cloaks, because the Australian production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is coming to an end in July.
When the final curtain falls, it will hold the title of the longest-running play in Australian history, after opening in February 2019 at a bespoke Princess Theatre in Melbourne.
The Australian production was the first one globally to re-open — in February 2021 — after COVID-induced lockdowns crippled the show, and the wider performing arts, worldwide.
