Originally, the German-language premiere of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” was supposed to take place in March 2020 on the stage of the completely rebuilt Mehr!

Theaters in the Hamburg wholesale market, but the corona pandemic thwarted producers, artists and the audience.

The first new premiere date was planned for October 2020, the most recent for April 2021. Nothing will come of that either.

The new premiere date is now scheduled for December 5, 2021.

All affected customers will receive vouchers for this, which can be exchanged for performances from February 23, 2021.

Corona forces another postponement of the premiere

A resumption before the end of November 2021 does not seem possible from our point of view, ”said Maik Klokow, CEO and producer of MehrBB Entertainment.

Customers who have booked tickets for the postponed performances would be contacted by e-mail today and informed about the rebooking options.

All customers can find information on the exact process on the website harrypotter-theater.de.
