Review Roundup: HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD Launches National Tour In Chicago

The production is currently on stage through Saturday, February 1, 2025

The National Tour of HARRY POTTER AND THE  CURSED CHILD is now on stage at Broadway In Chicago’s James M. Nederlander Theatre, and the reviews have started coming in.

The final  performance of the 21-week engagement for the six-time Tony® Award-winning production will be Saturday, February 1, 2025.  

John Skelley is playing Harry Potter with Trish Lindstrom as Ginny Potter and Emmet Smith as their son Albus Potter. Matt Mueller is  playing Ron Weasley with Ebony Blake as Hermione Granger and Naiya Vanessa McCalla as their daughter Rose Granger-Weasley.  Playing Draco Malfoy is Ben Thys with Aidan Close as his son Scorpius Malfoy. Delphi Diggory is played by Julia Nightingale and  Severus Snape is played by Larry Yando . 

They are joined by Kaleb Alexander , Julianna Austin , Markcus Blair , Casey Butler , Erin Chupinsky , Reese Sebastian Diaz , David Fine ,  Simon Gagnon , Alexis Gordon , Caleb Hafen , Lauryn Hayes , Nathan Hosner , Torsten Johnson , Katherine Leask , Markelle Leigh ,  Mackenzie Lesser-Roy , Evan Maltby , Zach Norton, Travis Patton , Maren Searle , Ayla Stackhouse , Jennifer Thiessen , Timmy  Thompson, René Thornton Jr., and Kristin Yancy playing a variety of characters. 

The touring production is based on the acclaimed Broadway production, currently playing at the Lyric Theatre, New York. It picks up  right where the last Harry Potter film left off: Nineteen years after Harry, Ron, and Hermione saved the wizarding world, they’re back  on a most extraordinary new adventure – this time, joined by a brave new generation that has only just arrived at the legendary  Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. When Harry Potter’s head-strong son Albus befriends the son of his fiercest rival, Draco  Malfoy, it sparks an unbelievable new journey for them all—with the power to change the past and future forever.  

HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD, the first Harry Potter story to be presented on stage and the eighth story in the Harry  Potter series, has sold over 10 million tickets worldwide since its world premiere in London in July 2016 and holds a record 60 major  honors, with nine Laurence Olivier Awards including Best New Play and six Tony Awards including Best Play. The international  phenomenon has cast its spell worldwide with productions currently running in London, New York, Hamburg, and Tokyo, and has  completed runs in Melbourne, Toronto, and San Francisco. The original two-part production in London's West End recently  celebrated its 7th anniversary, while the reimagined Broadway production celebrated its 6th anniversary.  

The most successful non-musical play in Broadway history, HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD has the unique distinction of being  named by the Guinness World Records as the highest-grossing non-musical play in Broadway history with over $270 million total sales  and over 2.5 million tickets sold.  

Let's see what the critics have to say!

Jon Rahm confirms massive personal news ahead of DP World Tour return

Jon Rahm's wife Kelley has given birth to their third child ahead of the Spaniard's return to the DP World Tour at the Open de Espana.

Jon Rahm's wife Kelley has given birth to their third child - a first daughter - ahead of the LIV Golf superstar's return to the DP World Tour at the Open de Espana this week.

The update was first confirmed by Marca . 

Kelley and Jon have welcomed the birth of their first daughter after two boys Kepa, 3, and Eneko, 2. 

Rahm , 29, was forced to withdraw from the Pro-Am on the eve of his home open but he left Arizona for Madrid on Tuesday and will now compete in the first round on Thursday. 

The Spaniard touched down in Madrid on Wednesday and he was instantly congratulated by tournament officials and his peers. 

#NEW : Jon Rahm arrived at the Spanish Open with it being revealed that his wife Kelley gave birth to the couple’s 3rd child just prior to his departure. pic.twitter.com/YdIg25j1hV — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) September 25, 2024

Rahm is seeking a fourth victory at the Open de Espana having already etched his name on the trophy in 2018, 2019 and 2022. 

His idol, late great Seve Ballesteros, also won the title three times in 1981, 1985 and 1995.

Angel de la Torre holds the all-time Open de Espana record of five victories between 1916 and 1925. 

But it only became a European Tour event when the circuit was formed in 1972. 

• LIV Golf pro responds to rumour he wants to quit
• LIV Golf pro 'won't be back in 2025' in outrageous PGA Tour 'bribe' rumour

The former World No.1 also withdrew from LIV Golf's season-ending Team Championship in Dallas last weekend.

Though the official reason for his WD there was illness ( flu symptoms ).

Rahm was replaced by John Catlin as his Legion XIII went on to finish fourth.

A week previous, Rahm was crowned individual champion in his debut season.  Rahm joined LIV Golf for a reported $600m on a five-year deal through to the end of 2028.

But to the delight of his home fans, Rahm will make his long-awaited return to the DP World Tour at this week's Open de Espana at Club de Campo Villa de Madrid.

The 10-time DP World Tour winner will join Matthieu Pavon and Sepp Straka at 2pm local time in Thursday's first round.

He will then be off at 9.10am in the second round on Friday.

Jon Rahm is back on DP World Tour this week

Rahm was allowed to compete in this week's Open de Espana having appealed his fines on the DP World Tour.

The same scenario has applied to Rahm's Legion XIII and European Ryder Cup teammate Tyrrell Hatton, who returned to the DP World Tour earlier this month at the British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo at The Belfry.

Both Rahm and Hatton were fined by the former European Tour circuit for having competed on LIV Golf this season.

Rahm's fines are estimated to have now surpassed the $1m mark.

Hatton and Rahm's decision to appeal their fines and return to the DP World Tour is vital for their Ryder Cup hopes.

That's because they need to have played in at least four regular season events outside of the majors in order to maintain their DP World Tour membership and earn eligibility in Luke Donald 's 2025 European Ryder Cup team.

• DP World Tour reject Ian Poulter's return as 14 LIV Golf players get set for Dunhill Links

In the latest update on the controversial subject, the appeals process could extend beyond the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black next September.

News also emerged last week the DP World Tour rejected LIV Golf's offer to pay off Rahm and Hatton's fines.

One DP World Tour pro told GolfMagic he was pleased with that decision and that the circuit should 'let them suffer' .

Hatton is also competing in the Open de Espana.

The Englishman tees off alongside Matteo Manassero and Jorge Campillo at 9am on Thursday. 

As it stands, Rahm has only played in just one regular season event on the DP World Tour.

That came at the Olympics in Paris where Rahm threw away a four-shot lead heading into the back nine and did not even finish up on the podium.

Rahm is also expected to play at the Dunhill Links and the Andalucia Masters next month, which would ensure he fulfils his four regular events during the DP World Tour season.

Should Rahm progress into the top 70 in the DP World Tour Rankings come November, he will be eligible to compete in the DP World Tour Playoffs.

The top 70 will compete in Abu Dhabi, with the top 50 after that then contesting the season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.

Rahm is currently ranked 126th in the DP World Tour Rankings, while Hatton in 94th.

Russia’s fighters are waging bloody battles in Ukraine’s east to add to its captured territory.

Moscow supports this war effort with soldiers from outside the regular army, including some from a training camp in Chechnya.

Some join for the money, others to escape everyday drudgery, and some fight out of patriotism. But there are tearful goodbyes.

Soldiers trained in Chechnya range from battle tested mercenaries to raw recruits without combat experience.

Mayhem awaits them, as evident in the devastation of the city of Bakhmut.

Inside the Chechen Units Helping to Fight Russia’s War

Photographs by Nanna Heitmann

Text by Neil MacFarquhar

Nanna Heitmann spent time observing Russian troops training in Chechnya, then later traveled to Bakhmut, Ukraine. Neil MacFarquhar reported from New York.

A hulking military transport plane roared onto the tarmac at the main airfield in Grozny, the capital of the Chechen Republic in southwestern Russia, and a group of 120 volunteer fighters heading for Ukraine clambered aboard.

Dressed in camouflage, the newly minted troops had just completed at least 10 days of training in Gudermes, near Grozny, at the Special Forces University, which accepts men from across Russia for general military instruction.

Some of the trainees lacked any combat experience. Others were veterans returning to Ukraine for their second or third tour — including former mercenaries from the Wagner militia, disbanded in 2023 after a short-lived mutiny against the Kremlin.

Some Wagner fighters, chafing at the idea of working for the Russian Defense Ministry, instead transferred whole units to the Chechen-trained forces, known as Akhmat battalions, intended in part to absorb fighters from outside the Russian Army. Wagner veterans were often first recruited from prison, including a lean man with a gold front tooth, identified only by his military call sign, “Jedi,” because of the potential for retribution.

“Go for your Fatherland? What kind of Fatherland? It kept me in prison all my life,” said Jedi, 39, a construction laborer who was convicted of robbery and fraud. In and out of jail since 14, he had six months left on a six-year sentence when he signed up.

“The volunteers go for the money,” he said. “I have yet to meet anyone here for the ideology.” He also wanted a clean slate, he said.

Fat signing bonuses plus payments of about $2,000 per month, at least double the average wage in Russia, have spurred recruitment.

The training near Grozny highlights the evolution of ethnic loyalties that is manifest in this war. Some of those now training there were last in Chechnya as young conscripts for the Russian Army, fighting against Chechens who were part of the separatist movement.

The participation of some Chechens represents another inversion of history: After hundreds of years of enmity with Russia, Chechens were deploying to Ukraine to fight Moscow’s war.

The separatist movement of the 1990s culminated in two brutal wars against Moscow that lasted intermittently for over a decade. The city of Grozny was flattened, and tens of thousands of Chechens died.

Chechnya is ruled by the strongman Ramzan Kadyrov. Portraits of him and his father, Akhmat Kadyrov, can be seen all over Grozny.

Grozny, the capital, was entirely rebuilt after the Russian military flattened it during the Chechen wars.

The history of those wars is not commemorated the way other conflicts are, such as World War II.

A downtown photo exhibit chronicles both the devastation and reconstruction of the city.

Few traces of Grozny’s destruction remain. Today, new mosques and luxury boutiques stand amid the skyscrapers.

Ramzan Kadyrov, the authoritarian leader of Chechnya, has taken an aggressive stance toward Ukraine since Russia invaded the country in February 2022. Chechen forces have claimed an instrumental role in some key battles, including the siege of Mariupol early in the war.

But Mr. Kadyrov has faced accusations that he has refrained from sending his fighters full-bore into the fight, with Chechens dying in fewer numbers than soldiers from other minority areas. Sparing his fighters keeps intact his private militia, the core of the security forces that ensure his rule in Chechnya.

Instead, Mr. Kadyrov has tried to underscore his loyalty to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia by pouring resources into this military training center. The regimen consists of live fire exercises with artillery, some mining and demining instruction and first aid.

The various Akhmat battalions were named, like so much in Chechnya, after Mr. Kadyrov’s father, Akhmat Kadyrov, who switched sides to join Moscow in the separatist struggle and was then assassinated in 2004.

Russia has recruited troops for its war effort wherever it could find them, seeking to minimize the need for a draft. In 2022, it lifted an almost blanket ban on Chechens serving in the Russian military, fallout from the separatist movement.

Of the group being dispatched to Ukraine last fall from the tarmac in Grozny, many were in their 30s and 40s, and fewer than 10 were Chechens. Despite Jedi’s claims, money is not the sole motivation.

Some fled troubled domestic lives. Others wanted to escape daily drudgery. Some, of course, profess to be fighting out of patriotism. Many of the men agreed to talk on the condition that they be identified by only their first names or military call signs for fear of retribution.

Anatoly, 24, was among 10 men who volunteered together from a small farming village high in the mountains in the picturesque, south-central Altai region. “My father forced me to shovel snow, to work, to clear out the dung from the cows,” he said. “I ran away from this work to do something else. Every year is the same.” He admitted that the money was an incentive, too.

Another rural worker, a 45-year-old shepherd who uses the call sign “Masyanya,” traveled about 4,500 kilometers from the Republic of Khakassia for the training. “I’m going to defend my motherland, so the war doesn’t come here,” he said.

The contract with the Akhmat battalion lasts only four months, a big incentive when compared with the open-ended deployments for regular soldiers.

Last fall, Mr. Kadyrov formed a new unit, the Sheikh Mansour battalion, named after an 18th-century imam who fought against the Russian Empire. The soldiers are all Chechens or from the small, neighboring republics in the mountainous Caucasus region, and are mostly in their 20s. Chechens fighting for Ukraine against Russia named their battalion after Sheikh Mansour first, and now Mr. Kadyrov is trying to reclaim the name.

Turpal, 20, was working as a security guard for a large supermarket chain in Moscow when he got permission from his father to sign up for the new unit, saying that he wanted to fight against “those devils who are in Ukraine who want to bring their perverted ideas here.”

As he left to go back to the training center after a weekend visiting his parents, he hugged his mother and shook hands with his father. “Russia has been fighting for all its existence,” said Mayrali, Turpal’s father. “You can’t beat it. It is better for Chechnya to be with Russia than to be against Russia.”

Wagner veterans serve in the Sheikh Mansour battalion, too. A 35-year-old fighter who uses the call sign “Dikiy,” or “Wild,” said that he had served 18 months of a nearly 10-year sentence for murder when he signed up. He fought in Ukraine for 11 months, was wounded three times and still gets fierce headaches.

Back in Chechnya, he found the idea of working for $200 per month demoralizing, so he returned to the war. “I don’t know how to do anything else,” he said.

The Akhmat troops are better equipped than the regular army; unlike some regular Russian soldiers, they do not have to buy their own basic equipment.

Jedi said that when he first deployed with Wagner in Ukraine, some young men in the Russian Army came running up begging for supplies, for fuel and for bread. “In Akhmat, I don’t even wash my socks. I wear them, throw them away, wear them,” he said. “The same applies to underwear and bed linen. We have everything.”

Moscow subsidizes an estimated 80 percent of Chechnya’s budget, though it is unclear how much goes to military training.

At the airfield, before the battalion departed, a senior officer lined up the new soldiers to wish them good luck. “Are the fighters ready?” he shouted. “Yes sir,” they barked in unison, followed by the Muslim expression “Allahu akbar!” or “God is great!” plus the Chechen war cry, “Akhmat Sila!” or “Akhmat rules!”

Once they arrived in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, some of the men were assigned to maintain Russian control over Bakhmut, now an abandoned husk of a city after months of fierce fighting.

The streets are deserted, especially during the day, when Ukrainian drones roam overhead, hunting for targets. On foggy days, fighters can sometimes be glimpsed walking through the rubble.

Traffic rumbles to life at night, when the wounded from battles scattered around the Bakhmut region are evacuated. The roads are littered with burned cars and ambulances.

While the war grinds relentlessly above ground, the roar of artillery and exploding shells does not penetrate far beneath the surface, where the Akhmat forces have taken over a field hospital first set up by Wagner.

The Bakhmut region was once famous for its sparkling wine, and the hospital operates in the maze of underground tunnels where tens of thousands of bottles remain stored along the walls. (The prohibition on drinking it by both Wagner and Akhmat has been largely respected.) Once a tourist attraction, the old décor is still intact; dusty plaster statues of ancient gods loom over the wounded.

The caves are wide enough to accommodate at least two vans abreast, and several times a day, vehicles ferrying the wounded and the dead navigate the darkened, fog-shrouded labyrinth. Soldiers leap from the vehicles and quickly carry their often groaning comrades on stretchers to the makeshift stabilization point.

In Bakhmut, wounded Russian soldiers are treated at an underground hospital.

Though Russian forces captured the city last year, fighting in the vicinity remains fierce.

Medical personnel operate in rooms set up in a warren of tunnels that once served as a wine cellar.

The wounded are ferried on stretchers day and night as explosions boom in the distance.

Wounded soldiers wait to get treated at the underground hospital.

One of the surgeons, Bulya, 34, has worked for Wagner, mostly in Africa, since 2017. On trips to Moscow, he said, people there reacted to seeing him in his fatigues like “dirt under your fingernails,” but in Chechnya, he found more respect.

As losses pile up, Bulya said that he was eager for the Russian Army to make it to Kyiv. “I don’t need their negotiations,” he said using an expletive. “I hope that Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin will do that, that we will go to the end. We will get there.”

Anastasia Trofimova contributed reporting from Grozny and Bakhmut.

An earlier version of this article misstated that Chechnya is in southeast Russia. It is in southwest Russia.
