Harry Potter and the Cursed Child to remain closed in London's West End until February 2021

West End production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child closed until winter 2021

The London production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will remain closed up until and including at least Sunday, 21 February 2021, it has been confirmed. The news was announced via the production's social media channels.

The ongoing hit show has been closed since March 2020 when theatres all across the UK were placed on lockdown. Many other major West End productions have been forced to push back their recommencement dates to the Spring 2021 season with many world premieres also now planned for March.

This includes Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cinderella musical starring Carrie Hope Fletcher that was postponed twice due to COVID-19 as well as the highly anticipated West End transfer production of Disney's Frozen The Musical.
