After an enforced 49-week pause because of COVID-19, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has reopened at The Princess Theatre, its return to the stage a beacon of hope for the theatre sector globally.
‘I think the Hamburg production [of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child] were a week off their opening night when they got shut down in Germany, and they haven’t yet got to come back. Nor has anywhere else in the world, so we’re feeling very, very privileged,’ said actor Soren Jensen, who plays a number of roles in the Melbourne production, including the half-giant Hagrid and the Sorting Hat.
