It is rare for an actor to revisit a role. But in a completely different medium? Rarer still. Tom Felton, who rose to fame as Draco Malfoy in all eight Harry Potter films, made wizarding world history when he stepped back into Draco’s robes—this time as an adult—in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway. “It’s very much a ‘pinch me’ situation,” Felton says. “I keep thinking I’m dreaming.” The blockbuster play picks up 19 years after the events of the final story, with Draco and Harry as grown men navigating fatherhood and a new generation of wizards. “Getting a chance to step back into Draco’s shoes now that he’s a father in this new story—it’s very exciting,” Felton adds. And fans clearly agree, as Felton’s run in Cursed Child is one of the hottest tickets on Broadway this season. Will you be there as Tom Felton takes the stage, or are you “Scared, Potter?”

Blockbuster Hits + New Arrivals = Now! — prime time to indulge in the brilliance that is Broadway. Get ready for a scorecard filled with white-hot shows laced with jolts of celebrity voltage (see listings, p. 51), all taking place in the most celebrated theatre district in the world! As for the best of the best, read on for Broadway’s standout crowd pleasers! WHERE THE WILD ONES ARE A powder keg of energy and emotion packed into 2½ hours, 2024’s Tony-winning musical The Outsiders is a show that doesn’t just tell a story, it lets you feel it. The narrator is 14-year-old Ponyboy Curtis (Noah Pacht) who, from the show’s opening moments, draws you into his world: Tulsa, Oklahoma, circa 1967, where the rivalry between the entitled “Socs” and working class “Greasers” is building to what will become a seismic showdown drenched in resentment, mud, and heartshattering repercussions. Based on S.E. Hinton’s holy grail of adolescent novels, the script by Adam Rapp is as much a study in solidarity and loss as it is heightened teenage recklessness. Backed by a haunting folk-rock score by Jamestown Revival (Jonathan Clay & Zach Chance) and Justin Levine, the show’s direction by Tony winner Danya Taymor and Rick & Jeff Kuperman’s choreography come together, both Continued on p. 42

FUN FACT about the show’s famous anthem: NASA once used the song "Defying Gravity" as a wake-up call for astronauts in space. WIZARDING WORLD SORCERY In case you haven’t heard, 2018’s Best Play Tony winner Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a theatrical phenom designed to soar beyond

your wildest expectations.

It’s a show with mind-blowing special effects spanning everything from wand pyrotechnics and nightmarish Dementors to a killer Polyjuice illusion. And that’s just onstage. Before the show, wizard wannabes (ok, Muggles) get to flex their magical muscles in the Lyric Theatre’s enchanted lobby, where the ceiling, portraits, and Patronuses come to life a “swish-and-flick” of a QR code! FUN FACT about the current cast: Tom Felton, who grew up as Harry’s arch-rival Draco on screen, has returned to the role (through January 3rd). Now playing Scorpius’s dad, this is a definite not-to-be missed performance.

“...drama-meets-glamour for the quintessential Broadway experience...”

JAZZ AGE CONFIDENTIAL Broadway’s epic Roaring '20s bash, The Great Gatsby, is set in a world of haves and have-nots; wannabes and success stories. Here you’ll find the players to be stunning, sensuous, and fearless in their lust for the good life: Jay Gatsby (Ryan McCartan), new money millionaire whose nightly parties redefine extravagant; Daisy Buchanan (China Anne McClain), the lost love Gatsby obsessively seeks to recapture; her husband, Tom (Max Monnig), whose old-money status can’t hide the menacing cracks in his character; and the people who orbit this volatile love triangle. In this glittering musical take on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, Gatsby is driven and 46 Everything To Do NY

enigmatic, and a striking contrast to Daisy’s cousin, Nick (Corbin Bleu), a newcomer to the scene who finds himself caught up in a three-ring circus of excess and scandal. It's dramameets-glamour for the quintessential Broadway experience. FUN FACT about Gatsby's trademark expression: the phrase “Old sport” is spoken or sung 21 times within the show.

Continued from p. 44 (Sonya Balsara)—then with danger, at the hands of the conniving villain Jafar (Dennis Stowe), and finally with supernatural hocus-pocus. The latter comes courtesy of femme-fabulous Genie (played by TV’s Sherri Shepherd), part MC, part mentor, all showstopper, once Aladdin arrives in the “Cave of Wonders,” home to The Lamp and

the pyrotechnically awesome production number “Friend Like Me,” which brings down the house with full-throttle magical panache. FUN FACT about the romantic flight out over the audience during “A Whole New World”: Aladdin’s cast and crew are sworn to strict secrecy (NDA!) regarding the mechanics behind how the carpet becomes airborne.

Photo: Alessandro Pinna. LATTER DAY LOL Platinum-grade The Book of Mormon takes off as a rookie Mormon missionary appears ringing an invisible doorbell and uttering the show’s one-word catchphrase: “Hello!” This is Elder Price (Kevin Clay), whose charisma and radiant smile have made him a superstar among his colleagues and seemingly preordained his dream assignment: Orlando, Florida. Sad for him—but way happy for us— he’s assigned instead to a squalid Ugandan village alongside super gung-ho Elder Cunningham (Diego Enrico), whose conversion playbook is less scripture and more tall tales and pop culture. Unsurprisingly, this unholy concept was devised by three of the funniest writer/composers ever: South Park’s Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and Avenue Q’s Bobby Lopez. It’s a setup filled with profanity, irreverence, bromance, redemption, and unfiltered hilarity as it celebrates 15 blissfully cheeky years at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre. FUN FACT about costumes: actors wear Mormon-style undergarment onesies featuring a pre-tucked shirt design, so their shirts never come untucked. 48 Everything To Do NYC

PRIDE OF BROADWAY A year shy of its 30th Broadway birthday, Disney’s The Lion King remains a runaway stage sensation filled with wow factors guaranteed to dazzle, whatever your generation. Propelling reality into creative nirvana, the show’s game-changing puppetry, masks, costumes, and scenery are in a class of their own: unprecedented and unsurpassed. The Tony-winning musical opens on a literal high note (Rafiki’s “Nants ingonyama bagithi baba”), as the animals who make up the Pride Lands’ Circle of Life dazzle theatregoers as they move down the aisles to welcome newborn Simba, heir to the throne and hero of his own coming-of-age saga—a journey filled with light (humor, friendship, and love) and dark, marked by loss and Simba’s diabolical Uncle Scar (Tony nominee Gavin Lee) and his trio of hyena flunkies. And while the score and characters are legend, the memories you create will be newly minted! FUN FACT about two of the Tony-winning musical’s masks: Scar’s weighs only 9 ounces, while the one worn by Simba’s dad, Mufasa, weighs 11 ounces—the weight of a banana.

MASTERS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE After a year of sold-out performances in Australia, Singapore, London, and Las Vegas, Now You See Me Live is tantalizing New York audiences with cutting-edge magic and breathtaking theatrics. It's delivered by a quartet of internationally acclaimed illusionists known as “The Four Horseman”—a moniker plucked from the popular Lionsgate film franchise that inspired illusionists James More and Darcy Oake, escapologist Gabriella Lester, and mentalist Matthew Pomeroy to translate the movies’ cinematic electricity into mystifying onstage enchantment. Observes co-creator/creative producer Simon Painter, “Now You See Me Live pushes the boundaries of stage magic to the absolute edge, making the impossible possible in front of your very eyes. Together with Lionsgate we’ve created a show with truly mind-blowing artistry at epic scale”. FUN FACT about the production: It includes high-stakes and death-defying stunts featuring intense physical challenges. MAGICAL MOJO In his long-running hit show Amaze, Gen-Xer Jamie Allan—known for upending traditional magical expectations by turning everyday high-tech into cutting-edge illusions—takes theatregoers on a deep-dive into the 1980s and his childhood fascination with the remarkable, triggered by a Fisher-Price magic kit when he was five. Here, memories come with fascinating revelations, intermingled with jaw-dropping magic, audience interaction, and breathtaking skill. One minute you’re immersed in Allan’s compelling backstory, and the next you’re raising your hand, hoping to take part in his onstage hocus-pocus. It’s no wonder countless critics have fallen under Amaze’s spell…or that it manages to thrill every member of the family. FUN FACT about the performance: a post-show meet-and-greet with Jamie is built into every show. Above: The Four Horsemen of Now You See Me. Inset: Jamie Allen in Amaze.

A card-carrying member of Broadway’s rarefied winners circle, the musical bio MJ the Musical resonates with a compilation of the hit songs that made Jackson a household name, from the Jackson 5’s youthful hits to the King of Pop’s extraordinary solo run of Billboard chart toppers and sold-out concerts. Following his acclaimed run as MJ in Australia, Ilario Grant has taken over the role on Broadway full-time, bringing insight—and a wealth of rave reviews—to the Big Apple. Built around rehearsals leading up to Jackson’s 1992 Dangerous World Tour

and an MTV verité documentary film crew, the production, by Lynn Nottage (book) and Christopher Wheeldon (director/choreographer), shines light onto Jackson’s backstory, humor, process, and perfectionism, all while showcasing the artist’s distinctive style (fedora/glove/military jackets), moves (moonwalk/anti-gravity lean), and uncompromising artistry. FUN FACT about MJ 's backstage washing machines: they’ve been given nicknames, including Bubbles, Billie Jean, Tina Turner, Thing One, and Thing Two.

f Where can I dine among the clouds? The simply stunning views from One World Observatory in Lower Manhattan are complemented by the seasonally inspired options at ONE Dine. The 101st floor menu serves up linguini with smoked pork belly, salads, branzino, and a bone-in Delmonico steak with braised leeks and peppercorn sauce. You can raise a toast with small production wines, local draft beers, and craft cocktails that take inspiration from NYC names and nabes.

i For a quick stop in the East Village or Times Square? Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers is on e of the world’s fastest growing restaurant chains. They’re known for chicken finger meals, which come with creamy, tangy, peppery “Cane’s Sauce”—picked the #1 most craveable sauce in the restaurant industry. Cane’s uses only the highest-quality ingredients with a cook-to-order system, so it’s always fresh. NYC locations include Astor Place and Times Square.

h Where can I find authentic New York Italian near Times Square? The best Italian restaurant in Times Square/ Hell’s Kitchen is Mama Mia 44SW, family-run for more than half a century. Look for classic Italian fare made with recipes handed down for generations: chicken eggplant rollatini, lasagna, vongole di Napoli, spaghetti & meatballs “mama’s way,” and rich Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp, shown here. 60 Everything To Do NYC

i NYC FOOD HISTORY: PIZZA Pizza was, of course, invented in Italy, but New York has been putting its own distinctive spin on the pie since 1905. That’s when immigrant Gennaro Lombardi opened his eponymous shop in Little Italy. Lombardi’s still serves up some of the city’s best pizza, thin crusted in the Naples style with a light char thanks to the house’s red-hot coal-burning oven. In 1929, Lombardi’s said ciao to employee John Sasso, who left to open his own place on Bleecker Street. You can still get a classic coal-oven pie there, or at the newer John’s of Times Square, which adds stained glass atmosphere inside a converted church. For a more modern slant, check out Una Pizza Napoletana on the Lower East Side. The Neapolitan pies here were awarded best in the U.S. by 50 Top Pizza in 2025 (and best in the world for 2024!).

GETTING AROUND NYC NYC has one of the most developed public transportation systems in the U.S. The subway runs 24/7 and tokens have been retired—you can access the train with your phone or credit card. Taxis and rideshares are popular alternatives; buses can be a good option for cross-town trips. NYC subway and bus fares are fixed at $3 per ride. Ferries are a lesser-known way of navigating the city and a good option for mild weather riding. In addition to free service between Lower Manhattan and St. George on the Staten Island Ferry, there’s also: • NYC Ferry: Extensive routes connecting Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Governors Island, and the Bronx for $4.50 per ride (or $2.90 with a 10-trip pack). Use the NYC Ferry app for tickets and real-time tracking.

A SHOPPING DAY TRIP Just north of the city, Woodbury Common Premium Outlets is a world-renowned shopping destination that features top brands like Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Nike, and Coach among its 250 designer outlet stores. Woodbury Bus offers daily round trips from Midtown Manhattan. Round trips start at $45 + booking fee and the ride takes just one hour, with multiple daily departures. Seating is reserved and there’s free Wifi onboard. The tours are operated by Silver Star Transportation, a leading NYC transportation company with 35+ years of trusted luxury service across the Tri-State area. 212-901-3013, woodburybus.com
