Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Jason and I got to take Ali downtown for one of her Christmas presents: we saw Harry Potter and the Cursed Child! It started to snow big, fluffy flakes on our drive down and we had a bit of time before the show, so we got to walk over and see the big tree in Millennium Park and The Bean. Everything looked so magical!




We had (obstructed view) front-row seats and it was so cool to be that close! We could see into the wings of the stage and sometimes saw people being pulled up in harnesses and getting ready to do their flying scenes! The dementors were so cool and creepy, they used a rotating stage and really amazingly choreographed set movements to show Hogwarts's staircases moving around, and the pollyjuice scenes (where one character changed into another) were so...magical! There were several times a spell involved fire, and we were close enough to feel the heat! It was funnier than we expected it to be and we really loved it.
