I wrote a review for HPatCC. I posted some photos on my LJ.

Here is the no spoilers review with photos.

I saw the play, still in previews, on April 5th and 6th, in the evening.

I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed this production. I went in with such low expectations because I had read some things online about the story. Well you can't always believe what you read because the story was different than what I expected. While I had a couple of issues with the plot because it felt a bit fan fiction-y, Cursed Child still remained true to the characters and did not demean their core values or their journey, actions and sacrifices from the first 7 books.

Also, it was so funny. I, and the audience, laughed a lot. I missed some of the lines because of the laughter and will have to read the script sometime to see what lines I missed. I didn't expect it to be so funny. The actors had great comedic timing.
Speaking of such, the performances in general, even when the material was dark and serious they were fantastic.

I will say that the play being broken up in two nights, each two and half hours, is a bit long. I think some scenes could have been cut down or cut out.

I will end on a high note. The special effects were PURE MAGIC! Jaw dropping fantastic! I won't say more in this review.

For those how have seen the play: This is not keeping the secrets.

Stephanie, thanks for sharing your experience here. I did read that the play is a bit long and in total it's about 5 hours for part 1 & 2. But the general consensus for the play is that it's really very well-done and the cast is superb. They're the original London cast so you're very lucky. I'll be checking out the links later. I've only read the script book but haven't seen the play. I live in the Eastern part of the world and the nearest production I can go to is Australia which is still super expensive for me.

Thanks for the review. Yes you can’t always believe what you read. Most of the negative comments are from people who have either never seen the play or try to project their own ideas onto the story that simple don’t follow the canon and think they could write it better than JKR or the playwright which is just plain rubbish.

No wonder why they want us to buy two tickets since you said the play was longer..
