About Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Tokyo Ticket

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series — an original stage play created by J.K. Rowling, director John Tiffany, and screenwriter Jack Thorne that has captivated audiences in London's West End and on Broadway before making its historic Asian debut at the TBS Akasaka ACT Theatre in Tokyo. This is the first and only production of Cursed Child to be staged anywhere in Asia, performed by an acclaimed Japanese cast in Japanese and running long-term through 2025 and beyond.

The story picks up 19 years after the Battle of Hogwarts — Harry Potter is now Head of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic and struggling with the weight of his legendary past. His youngest son Albus faces his own battles: sorted into Slytherin House, living in the shadow of his famous father, and forming an unlikely friendship with Scorpius Malfoy. Together, Albus and Scorpius face new threats and old mysteries in a magical world filled with surprising twists — and their journey highlights the power of friendship, the complexity of family, and the universal struggle to define oneself against expectations. The play runs for approximately 3 hours and 40 minutes including an intermission.

The theatrical magic at the heart of Cursed Child is genuinely extraordinary — the creative use of lighting, choreography, illusion, and sound design creates a theatrical experience unlike anything else available in Tokyo. Dementors float above the audience, transformations happen in the blink of an eye, and the iconic wizarding world comes alive with a spectacle that consistently astonishes audiences regardless of whether the production is their first encounter with the Harry Potter story or their hundredth. The TBS Akasaka ACT Theatre itself has been transformed to immerse visitors in the world of Harry Potter from the moment they enter the lobby.
