Harry Potter and the Cursed Child bringing autism-friendly performance

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child continues to break records, and it’s bringing a first. An autism-friendly performance is on its way.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is now performed on both U.S. coasts, and continues to break records with the performances. However, that’s not the big and exciting news for fans. The New York production is bringing the first autism-friendly performance for all.

Let’s quickly look at the record-breaking figures, though. For the week of Dec. 29, it brought in more than $2m. With a total of more than $163m, according to Leaky Cauldron, the play is now the best-selling straight play in the history of the entire of Broadway. That’s impressive on its own, but doubley impressive is that it’s the highest-grossing San Francisco play, grossing more than $2m out west.
