Harry Potter and the Cursed Child



For the Broadway premiere of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, scenic designer Christine Jones extended her Tony-winning design into a full renovation of the Lyric Theatre's auditorium, a themed, Victorian Gothic environment built simultaneously with the show's own set on a fast-tracked schedule.
Hudson Scenic Studios engineered, fabricated, finished, and installed the theater's architectural theming, including arches, barrel vaults, and box fronts as prefabricated modular GFRC components, then carried the same finish work onto the stage's King's Cross Station-inspired environment and mobile set pieces, so the auditorium and stage read as one continuous world.
