In the play, they're joined by the next generation that arrives at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, including Harry's son Albus.
Highest-grossing Broadway play
The play premiered in London in 2016 before opening in New York in 2018, where it won six Tony Awards, including Best Play. It also holds the Guinness World Record as the highest-grossing non-musical play in Broadway history with more than $270 million in sales and 2.5 million tickets sold. The play is currently on its first-ever North American tour and is also making stops in Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Atlanta and Minneapolis before coming to Boston.
