The two-part stage play won awards for Best West End Show and Best Show Poster
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is preparing itself to debut on Broadway and while there has been talk of nerves behind the curtain, that should have all disapparated now as they picked two awards at the WhatsonStage awards. One for Best West End Show and the another for Best Show Poster.
The fan-voted awards show saw the theatre production, which is set 19 years after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and follows the adventures of Harry, now a Ministry of Magic employee, and his son Albus Severus Potter, who is about to attend Hogwarts, pick up the two awards.
