Jack Thorne wrote Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, based on an original story written by Thorne and JK Rowling. John Tiffany also contributed to the story. The play is currently running at the Lyric Theatre in Broadway and London. It has been on Broadway since 2018. As I was walking by the Palace Theatre, I heard about a bus crash. Looks like it’s hit the back corner of the theatre.
Hopefully nobody was hurt during the accident. pic.twitter.com/LLPj26rRYY
