The announcement was made on Tuesday local time by producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender of Harry Potter Theatrical Productions.

"You can’t ever assume a new play is going to have a further life, but we knew that if Harry Potter and the Cursed Childdid have a life beyond London and Broadway, that the next stop would be here."
