Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official

Palace Theatre. In November last year the critically acclaimed production went on to receive the 2016
Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Play.

Hoggett, set by Christine Jones, costumes by Katrina Lindsay, music & arrangements by Imogen
Heap, lighting by Neil Austin, sound by Gareth Fry, illusions & magic by Jamie Harrison, music
