Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Hudson Scenic Studios fabricators built and scenically finished themed architectural elements for the renovation of the Lyric Theatre auditorium and set of the Broadway production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
A Hudson Scenic Studios artist performs scenic tie-in in the auditorium of the Lyric Theatre in New York in preparation of the opening of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway.

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.
