Aveda Ke-Jazz Square! If you're a Harry Potter freak and also a Broadway freak, you're about to truly freak. That's because Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, J.K. Rowling's two-part play that serves as an eighth installment to her world-changing series, is coming to the Great White Way.

While we cannot confirm if Harry will kick his face or if Hermione will do a death drop, we can say this: the play will open April 22, 2018 at the Lyric Theater just off Times Square and tickets will go on sale this fall at HarryPotterThePlay.com. You might want to drink some Felix Felicis before trying to buy.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child takes place years after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows ends. Now, Harry's got three kids, a stressful job at the ministry and a subscription to AshleyMadison.com. (Kidding about that last part).

When Cursed Child made its debut on London's West End, we knew it would probably be cool and good. What we didn't know is that it would break the record for most nominations (11) and wins (9) of any production in history at the Olivier Awards, London's Tonys. This included Best New Play, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor and Actress. God, I'm getting chills just writing this.

Emilio Madrid
In Oh, Mary!, President Abraham Lincoln (Conrad Ricamora) has his hands full with the Civil War — as well as the antics of his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln (Cole Escola), an alcoholic who is less concerned with a divided country than with dreams of becoming a cabaret star.
