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?”

ew York is a vertical city and there’s never been a better time to experience it, with multiple world-class observatories opening up the city’s skies. For downtown’s take on altitude, look to One World Observatory. It’s the tallest building in the hemisphere, offering 360° immersions in the landmarks of downtown. From a climate-controlled perch you can enjoy unique perspectives on New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty, historic bridges, and even out to New Jersey. Near Grand Central, SUMMIT One Vanderbilt takes the concept of an “observation deck” to new heights through three floors of multi-sensory interactions. Kenzo Digital, an immersive storytelling studio, is behind AIR at SUMMIT, which creates the illusion of boundless space. At night, SUMMIT is transformed into a beacon of light and energy visible to all of NYC and beyond. See the Empire State Building for yourself and you’ll know immediately why the skyscraper is one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern

World. The 86th floor is home to the Observation Deck, open to the air with views that go on for miles. The Western Hemisphere’s highest outdoor observaContinued on p. 14

MERCER LABS MUSEUM OF ART AND TECHNOLOGY

REDEFINING THE MUSEUM EXPERIENCE

Mercer Labs is a pioneering cultural institution that sprawls across a historic bank building in Lower Manhattan. Currently on view is Maestros and the Machines, an installation that reimagines the works of greats like da Vinci, Mozart, and Hokusai through the lens of cutting-edge technology. The show asks the provocative question, “What happens when the timeless mastery of iconic artists meets the disruptive power of modern technology?” Visitors explore experimental exhibition 26 Everything To Do NYC

spaces full of unique listening encounters and interactions with reimagined masterpieces, works that breathe, shift and transform as they respond to the viewer. A key collaborator here is music producer Timbaland, known for his groundbreaking work in sound design. His work joins contributions from leaders in design, space, and digital art to create a cohesive, transformative experience. The museum occupies a 1935 Art Deco/Neo-Classical bank building and the architecture is part of the experience.

BROADWAY Broadway Your Way: A Visitor’s Guide By Griffin Miller

40 Everything To Do NYC

It’s autumn in the Big Apple, which means you’ve hit the Broadway jackpot! Not only are new productions and stars part of the big-buzz picture, long-running favorites are in super demand (see p. 50). Add to this the once-a-year October bonanza when every week leading up to Halloween is filled with fantastical inspiration from Broadway’s celebrated costume designers. Read on for our Editor’s Picks for October’s finest shows and costumery! WHITE SHIRT + BLACK TIE & RED DEVIL ONESIES Once upon a madcap time, notorious South Park bad boys Trey Parker and Matt Stone joined comedic forces with Avenue Q’s Bobby Lopez to create The Book of Mormon—a musical juggernaut that not only dominated the 2011 Tony Awards, but continues to trigger endorphin-boosting communal laughter from audiences primed for 2½ hours of irreverent bliss. Prudes beware…or better yet, convert. Continued on p. 44

MJ SIDEBAR

Continued from p. 41 In a Nutshell: After ringing doorbells in Utah—"Hello! Hello! Hello!...I would like to share with you the most amazing book”—a gaggle of young missionaries-in-training receive their first official assignments. For golden boy Elder Price (Kevin Clay) and his dorky sidekick Elder Cunningham (Diego Enrico), their destination is far from ideal: a ramshackle Ugandan village populated by jaded locals grappling with several unsavory issues, including a one-eyed warlord. The gung-ho Cunningham—who shares Mormon teachings as a hilarious mashup of scripture and pop culture—is thrilled, whereas Price, who had his heart set on Orlando, is crushed. Trivia Pursuit: Price’s Act II guilt gets farcically graphic in the fiendishly funny “Spooky Mormon Hell Dream,” while the “Joseph Smith American Moses” number is a cool theatrical Easter egg riff on “The Small House of Uncle Thomas” from The King and I. FYI: BOM is currently celebrating 15 years of profanity, cheekiness, hilarity, and bromance on Broadway…Happy Anniversary to “Musical Theatre. Missionary Style.” HOUSE ROBES & SORTING HAT So, you’re not a diehard Potterhead…yet. This doesn’t mean you’ll be able to resist the mind-blowing illusions and spellbinding time-travel plot that’s made the Tony-winning 44 Everything To Do NYC

production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (HPCC) a must-see since its debut in 2018. In a Nutshell: After adult Harry (John Skelley) shares a good-bye moment on Platform 9¾ with his son Albus (Emmet Smith), the young wizard boards Hogwarts Express where he meets fellow first-year Scorpius Malfoy (Aiden Close)—who just happens to be the son of Harry’s childhood arch enemy, Draco (Tom Felton, reinhabiting the character he played onscreen). The two quickly bond and soon find themselves caught up in an adventure that has them hurtling through decades, laced with danger, humor, familiar characters and at least one new one—the very persuasive Delphi Diggory (Kristen Martin). Trivia Pursuit: Let your cell phone be your wand! The show’s Lyric Theatre home has been transformed into a glorious interactive AR playground for any Wizarding World wannabe through QR codes and the desire to bring portraits, patronuses, and the lobby’s enchanted ceiling to bewitching life. FYI: Newcomers to the Potterverse can easily pick up on the original backstory and lingo by visiting HPCC’s website and/or checking out the theatre program.

BALLGOWNS & BROOMSTICKS

A Broadway frontrunner since its electrifying premiere nearly 23 years ago, Wicked remains a fantasy phenom that thrillifies audiences, attracting both long-time fans and first-timers who arrive at the Gershwin Theatre thoroughly psyched to see “Pop-u-lar” Glinda (Emma Flynn), gravitydefying Elphaba (Keri René Fuller), a flock of flying monkeys, and a Wizard who sings and dances “wonderfully.” In a Nutshell: This awesome revamp of L. Frank Baum’s Oz mythology is (more or less) a prequel to the original book and MGM movie, focusing on the unlikely girl-power friendship between green-skinned Elphaba and beauteous Glinda, forged when they were coed witches at “Good Old” Shiz University. It’s a musical filled not only with stunning revelations about characters you thought you knew, but also places that will live forever in your imagination—like the “swankified” Ozdust Ballroom and (of course!) ultra-opulent Emerald City.

46 Everything To Do NYC

Top: the ensemble cast of Wicked. Inset upper: Emma Flynn as Glinda. Inset lower: Keri René Fuller as Elphaba. All photos by Joan Marcus..

Trivia Pursuit: Gregory Maguire, who wrote the novel “Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West,” coined the name Elphaba from L. Frank Baum’s initials so that LFB became El-Fa-Ba. FYI: The design of the show—and the giant lobby clock (a favorite photo op)—is seductively steampunk, from the citizens of Oz’s costumes to the enormous mechanical dragon (nicknamed Oswald) that hangs above the stage.

“Exotic sets, killer production numbers, whirlwind romance, and hocus pocus galore...”

BEJEWELED TURBANS & HAREM PANTS Looking for a musical overflowing with exotic sets, killer production numbers, whirlwind romance, and hocus pocus galore? Then Aladdin is proof positive that wishes can come true—particularly if they’re being granted by Broadway’s outrageously irrepressible Genie! Buzz Alert: Current Genie—the amazing Caleb A. Barnett—will turn over his Magic Lamp to The View’s Sherri Shepherd from Oct. 16th through Jan. 3rd! In a Nutshell: In the fictional city of Agrabah, handsome street thief Aladdin (Rodney Ingram) hangs with his light-fingered trio of BFFs until his path accidentally crosses with the beautiful Princess Jasmine (Sonya Balsara)— the Sultan’s willful daughter/sole heir. Intrigue kicks in once our hero is lured by evil vizier Jafar (Dennis Stowe) to the Cave of Wonders, where he a) finds the coveted magic lamp,

Top: the Aladdin ensemble stays "One Jump Ahead." Photo by Deen van Meer.

Insets left to right: Sonya Balsara as Jasmine. Photo by Matthew Murphy. Rodney Ingram as Aladdin. Photo by Carlos Somonte.

b) releases the wish-granting Genie, c) has a front-row seat to an adrenaline-rush musical spectacle, d) confronts the bad guy, and e) wins the heart of the princess. cityguideny.com/theater 47

“This is no garden-variety jukebox musical, rather a celebration of genius...”

FYI: Everything you could want in a supernatural bestie, Genie also serves as MC, narrator, and Cupid, pulling out all the magical stops when conjuring a romantic evening for two involving a flying carpet ride that soars above the audience. FEDORA, MILITARY JACKET & THE GLOVE While musical bios are far from uncommon on Broadway, few engage audiences with the powerhouse legacy built into MJ the Musical—a show that spotlights the King of Pop’s complex backstory, as well as his drive, perfectionism, and game-changing catalogue of hits—matched visually by his signature dance moves and statement looks. In a Nutshell: Using the weeks leading up to his 1992 Dangerous Tour as a jumping off point, MJ darts back and forth in time, capturing Michael’s early years as the Jackson 5’s lead singer as well as the moments that propelled him to superstardom as a solo artist. The show also highlights his professional life—from 48 Everything To Do NY

rehearsals and interviews to conflicts and performances. It’s the performances especially that emphasize this is no gardenvariety jukebox musical, rather a celebration of the genius behind numbers like “Beat It,” “Billie Jean,” “Man in the Mirror,” and “Thriller.” Trivia Pursuit: The notes projected onto the Neil Simon Theatre curtain are based on Jackson’s real choreography jottings and reproduce his actual handwriting. FYI: Lynn Nottage, who wrote the book for MJ, emphasized the importance of having the action and flashbacks take place in a single rehearsal studio: “A vérité documentary film crew serves as our framing device, asking questions and observing Michael's rehearsals, allowing us to flow through his creative process with relative ease.”

MANES & TAILS

If you’ve yet to experience Disney’s The Lion King—or if it’s been a while—expect an opening that will quite literally take your breath away. Beginning with the shaman Rafiki’s opening Zulu chant “Nants’ Ingonyama” (“Here comes a lion”), the scene expands into the “Circle of Life” as a serendipity of majestic animal puppets (including a giant-sized elephant) fill the aisles of the Minskoff Theatre and amble onto the stage to welcome the newborn heir to the Pride Lands throne, Simba. In a Nutshell: The story’s through-line follows young Simba from cub to young adulthood, beginning with his close relationship with his father, Mufasa, King of Pride Rock. Yet even as he’s taught valuable lessons by his dad, he rebels and becomes the unwitting victim of his diabolical Uncle Scar’s plot to rule the Pride Lands. A mesmerizing coming-of-age tale, the musical touches on themes of loss, friendship, redemption, and strength, propelling audiences from innocence to experience to elation—performance after performance.

Trivia Pursuit: One of Broadway’s most celebrated productions, the show took home six Tony Awards, including Best Musical and, for Julie Taymor, Best Director of a Musical, making her the first woman to receive that honor. FYI: Little kids who see it return as teens, then as adults with their own children, not just out of tradition, but because they want to share the theatrical brilliance and wonder that makes The Lion King, in a word, timeless. cityguideny.com/theater 49

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
