Practical tips for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Palace Theatre

There is no formal dress code. Smart casual is typical. Leave time for Shaftesbury Avenue crowds, security checks and the Palace foyers. Large bags and suitcases are not allowed. Phones off once the show starts, and no photography during the performance. The production uses loud sounds, flashing lights, smoke effects and intense theatrical magic, with darker themes consistent with the later Harry Potter stories.
