“Cursed Child” London Nominated for Best Long-Running West End Show

by Lucy O'Shea · October 29, 2018

Whether you love it or hate it, there’s no denying that Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is an award-winning show, earning nine Olivier Awards and six Tonys in its opening year for both the London and New York City productions. Now in its third year at the Palace Theatre, the London production of Cursed Child has been nominated for Best Long-running West End Show at the 2018 BroadwayWorld UK Awards.

Similar to its American counterpart, the BroadwayWorld UK Awards are voted for by fans of West End theater from a shortlist of 27 categories ranging from Best New Production of a Play to Theatrical Event of the Year.

 

The shortlist is announced for the 2018 BroadwayWorld UK Awards – and voting is NOW OPEN! #BWWAwardshttps://t.co/CUrHMjLqGd pic.twitter.com/O5z5yzdFhT
