Review Harry Potter and the cursed child cast 4, 08th December 2019

On Sunday 08th December I saw Harry Potter and the cursed child in London (Palace theatre) for the third time and as I did it for every time I went so far I wanted to give a review of the London year 4 cast as I did for the year 1 and 3 cast in case anyone is interested.

Overall I have to say that I enjoyed the show a lot more than last time and I overall prefer cast 4 over cast 3. I saw a lot of understudies on Sunday and that can really help to make a show feel more fresh and exciting. I explained in my last review why I couldn’t enjoy cast 3 as much as I hoped to and all of my issues were totally fixed by cast 4. It’s such a great cast and everyone involved made this a really wonderful and beautiful show. It was really worth it seeing the show again.

I think I don’t have to go into detail why I love this show with it’s story, staging and characters in my third review as nothing has changed about my passion for this show, so I will limit this review mostly to the cast.

Before I still want to say some sentences about the new changes that were adapted from Broadway in cast 4. First the wand dance scene now has a new choreography, which I really didn’t mind at all. I don’t have a really good memory with dances so I probably wouldn’t have noticed on my own. Second the scene in the wizard retirement home has a new staging. I think it’s a little less exciting than the old one and less stuff is happening so for me it’s not really an improvement. I didn’t really mind it either though.There also were some minor costume changes, nothing really important though.

So to the cast:

Harry Potter – Jamie Ballard

As Jamie is still in cast 4 I had the pleasure to see him again for the second time. This time I was well prepared for his Harry and didn’t need any time getting used to him. It was a delight to see his name on the cast board and he certainly didn’t disappoint. I still love his Harry with all my heart. He has the ability to make people feel very sorry for Harry, but he still has the explosive aspects of Harry’s character. Last Sunday he was truly on fire and even more playful than usual. I think he really had fun working with so many understudies and it brought him to try out some new things with his character I didn’t notice last time. At the beginning of act 1 his Harry is so overly excited and playful, and his excitement is used by Harry as some sort of barrier to protect himself when he is nervous. This really showed in the blanket scene this time and it made Harry’s attempt to bond with Albus even more honest and desperate. This playfulness also carries on in the other acts especially with his interaction with James’ Draco. Their constant banter and teasing were simply hilarious and only strengthened my opinion from the last review that Jamie and James have amazing chemistry as Harry and Draco. This time even more than before. He also plays Harry’s emotional scenes so well and this time I could see him as book Harry a tiny bit more than last time. His Harry still feels unique and wonderful and I’m really glad I had the chance to see him again.

Ryan J Mackay – Albus Severus Potter

As the main cast for Albus (Dominic Short) was away on Sunday I saw his understudy Ryan. To be honest at first I was a little bit disappointed because I really wanted to see Dominic as Albus, but after the show I’m really happy I saw Ryan. I would describe his Albus as quite soft and not as angsty as I usually like my Albuses, but in comparison to Joe’s Albus it worked very well with Ryan and I enjoyed the differences in his interpretation. He was a good mixture between introverted and sad with a right amount of angsty and leadership. I liked that his Albus was more introverted and sad around his father, especially in act one, but got more confident and extroverted being around his best friend Scorpius. It really fits to Albus‘ character as he never really can open up to Harry at the beginning and can be himself around Scorpius. In the blanket scene he looked very miserable and more hurt than angry. His Albus was still angry, but it wasn’t totally explosive and Albus felt more sad and deeply hurt in this moment. I think it actually worked quite well with Jamie’s Harry and it was a joy to watch as the blanket scene is one of my favourite scenes in the play. In general Ryan had good chemistry with Jamie and they worked well together on stage. After the time-turning events he looked devistated in the dorm scene with Harry as if he was accepting the blame and it was very hard to watch his Albus so defeated and miserable.

Ryan also had great chemistry with Jonathan’s Scorpius. What I really missed between Jon and Joe last time I got here to 100%! A lot of touchy Scorbus, they were constantly all over each other, always touching and clinging to one another. It shows that this Albus and this Scorpius are very comfortable around each other and don’t hesitate to physically touch, which made my Scorbus heart very happy. The hugs were simply adorable and even more touchy than the rest of their interaction. You could really see the affection between these two boys no matter if you look at it as platonic or romantic. It also showed in Albus behaviour as I explained above and he gets rather confident when he’s with Scorpius, so the line about him being a leader really fits to Ryan’s Albus. As a more soft Albus he was very good to make the audience understand what Albus is going through and why he is doing what he is doing.

There isn’t a lot of negative things I could say about him, but I do think he could do a bit more in the library scene. He looked very sorry with his dad in the dorm scene and I missed that a little bit in the library scene with Scorpius. Maybe it’s because Jon acted his little heart out that Ryan faded a bit in comparison and his library scene really wasn’t bad at all, I just missed a little bit more like he did in the rest of the play. No big deal though. He also struggled with some lines in act 4, but he saved it really well and as an understudy it’s totally understandable. It’s a mystery to me how one actor can remember so many lines of different characters to begin with. When Dom is there Ryan normally plays Albus‘ brother James and Cedric, so he has to remember these parts of the show and always be ready to go on as Albus. I have an never ending respect for what Understudies and swings do in theatre. So his messed up lines are easily forgiven and actually were quite funny. I hope Dominic stays on for another year so I get a chance to see his Albus too, but for now I’m very happy to have seen Ryan as Albus and he surely is a talented actor and a great Albus.

Jonathan Case – Scorpius Malfoy

As for Jamie Jon also stayed on in cast 4 so I had the absolute pleasure of seeing his Scorpius again. It’s actually a miracle he was there as the days before he was sick and his understudy Luke was on. I was quite surprised when I saw his name on the cast board as I expected to see Luke, but it was a pleasant surprise any way. I would also have loved to see Luke, but seeing Jon is always a pleasure as he still is my favourite Scorpius. I felt a bit bad for Jon as he sounded a bit sick and coughed a few times and I hope he got rest after the show, I’m still very happy he came to the show anyway. I talked a lot about how perfect his Scorpius is in my last review and I still approve of every single thing I said. He is the perfect, most adorable Scorpius I can imagine and it’s a priviledge to be able to see his Scorpius twice. He was even better than last time and really gave the emotional scenes his everything. The office scene with Draco was simply wonderful and his Scorpius got a lot more angry and passionate than last time. The library scene was even more heated than I know of him and he was simply on fire last Sunday. I think having another Albus really helped Jon to shine even more and bring out the best of him as an actor. His chemistry with James‘ Draco was still amazing and there really isn’t anything bad I can say about his performance. If it would be up to me he could very happily stay on in the cast for a long time.

Susan Lawson-Reynolds – Hermione Granger

On Sunday there were a lot of understudies and Susan was no exception. I just want to say that I loved her Hermione so much. Since Noma no actress really felt like Hermione to me, but Susan just nailed it. Like Noma she has this great authority on stage by also being gentle, calm and loving. Her Hermione is such a strong leader and still a gentle loving wife and friend. She combined everything I love about Hermione in cursed child and I couldn’t be happier to have seen her. Ronmione was amazing too! Like Scorbus Ron and Hermione were very touchy and all over each other especially in the opening scene, it was simply adorable. Noma and Paul always had such great chemistry I really missed last time, but this time Susan and Thomas fit together so perfectly and you could see the sparkle and the affection in their marriage. I also adored her chemistry with Jamie’s Harry and Emma’s Ginny. Their friendship felt so warm and comforting. I think due to all the father son issues in the play the friendship part between the adults and the golden trio can get a bit lost, but this time I could really feel it and it reminded me so much of their friendship in school in the books. She and Emma even hold hands in one scene and it was such a nice comforting thing to do and it really highlighted Ginny’s and Hermione’s friendship in the play. The only sort of negative thing I would have to say is that she struggled a bit with the magic in the polyjuice scene and the telephone box scene, but just like with Ryan I think it’s totally understandable. Of course she isn’t as smooth at the magic like the actors who do it a lot more often and don’t have other roles to remember. It really didn’t bother me much. I really don’t know what more to say about her except that she is amazing and I hope she will become a lead somewhere at some point. Her Hermione is strong, loving and funny and I’m so happy I could see her Hermione.

Thomas Aldridge – Ron Weasley

Seeing Thomas is always a pleasure. I already wrote a lot about his Ron in my last review and I still love him just as much. He is so funny and hilarious but still manages to show how comforting and what a great friend and husband Ron is. As I already mentioned he had great chemistry with Susan and it made the office block scene even more hilarious. At the end of it they weren’t gently fighting like normally, no, I would more describe it as violently wrestling on the floor. It was just amazing and funny to witness. His banter with James‘ Draco was also hilarious and I think due to so many understudies the remaining main cast members really gave it their all. There just isn’t anything bad I could say about him no matter how hard I would try. He is just amazing and I love him and Ron with all my heart in cursed child. I think Ron’s character is so often overlooked in cursed child and doesn’t really get enough credit that he deserves for being such a supporting husband and friend. It really takes dedication to give up your own dreams and career to give your really busy minister of magic wife a chance of a family and a chance to have kids. He may come across as comic relief in some scenes, but I think his jokes are so important to keep everyone else (really intense people) like Hermione and Harry from getting mad. He balances their worries and intenseness and always tries to lighten the mood for his friends when they feel really down and nervous. I think that’s a great quality of Ron in cursed child and Thomas is just so well at showing it. With him it never really feels like comic relief, you can always feel how much his friends mean to him and why he is doing it.

James Howard – Draco Malfoy

A lot of actors from the main cast stayed on in cast 4, so I could also see James as Draco a second time. What can I say, he just is the perfect Draco. I even loved him more this time than last time. Like Jamie he was simply on fire and much funnier and much more of a brat than last time by still keeping his elegance and Malfoy behaviour. He perfectly combined everything I loved about his Draco and the things I loved about Alex‘ more playful Draco and it was just glorious to watch. He really tried some new stuff especially making fun of Harry (I really don’t know what was going on with Jamie and James backstage but it was hilarious to watch them play off of one another all the time). Their chemistry on stage is just something very special and it really makes their scenes together so much more enjoyable.

The kitchen fight scene was just perfection, it was so much more funny than last time and you could see how much fun they were having. When Ginny enters the room again after they stopped fighting both James and Jamie looked like children who were caught trying to steal cookies from the kitchen and Jamie even hid his wand behind his back like a guilty five year old. It was the most hilarious thing I saw this evening. Even his serious scenes were even more heartbreaking than normal. His talk about Astoria never fails to break my heart and I’m always surprised what an amazing actor he is. He also has such great chemistry with Jonathan and I love their father son interaction. Their hug at the end was also slightly different from what I remember. Now it’s not Scorpius that runs to Draco and stops before Draco says „we can hug too if you like“, now it’s Draco that runs towards Scorpius almost chasing him to the edge of the stage and then stops in front of him before he says his line and then Scorpius hugs him. It was sort of funny as Jon’s Scorpius looked really terrified for a moment being chased by his dad before he realized his dad just wanted to hug him. The only word I can use for his Draco is perfect, just perfect.

Emma Bown – Ginny Potter

I’m saying this a lot this time, but yay another understudy! Seeing Emma’s name on the cast board made me really happy, mainly because as explained in my last review I’m not the biggest Susie fan and seeing another Ginny is just so exciting. I really liked her Ginny and definetly like her more than Susie’s version. She was very sweet but also fierce and showed a lot more emotions. I like how she gave her Ginny more personality by adding hand holding with Hermione and jealous Ginny in the scene with Myrtle and Harry.

As stated above she had good chemistry with Jamie’s Harry and their marriage was believable although they still couldn’t reach the chemistry level of Jamie and James. I also loved her with Thomas‘ Ron, they had a very sweet brother-sister relationship, which I never really noticed before with any Ginny actress. Beside all the other really amazing actors she stayed a bit in the backround, but overall I really liked her. She didn’t do anything super new with the role, but that’s not required to be a great Ginny and be enjoyable to watch.

Rachelle Diedericks – Rose Granger Weasley

Another understudy (there were so many understudies yay) and I simply loved her Rose. I actually think she is my favourite Rose so far. The dialouge sounds so natural with her and not too much at all. Her Rose is very fierce but I could also understand what Scorpius sees in her. Her Rose seems really lovely and almost adorable but still very desperate to get attention and being popular. Rose isn‘t my favourite character but with Rachelle I really liked her as a character, so she did a fantastic job.

Madeleine Walker – Delphi

To make my opinion quite straight from the beginning: from all the Delphi’s I saw until now Madeleine is definetly my favourite. Most Delphis are just way too over the top when they play evil in the end and it mostly limits my enjoyment of Delphi as a character. Madeleine played evil Delphi much more subtle but still very threatening and I loved it. Even her good Delphi was the best I have seen till now. She was so sweet and funny and had a great quirky personality, I would have loved her Delphi so much as a character if I wouldn’t have known what was to come. Her chemistry with Ryan was also really great! I felt so bad for Albus, it was so easy to fall for her Delphi so the reveal at the end hit even harder.

The supporting cast

Cast 4 is really great overall, there wasn’t a single actor on stage I didn’t approve of. There also were some understudies in the supporting cast (James, Polly, Dumbledore, Myrtle) and all of them did a great job. All of the actors did amazing and seeing David Annen’s Snape again made my day just perfect. Also special mention to David Mara who did such an amazing job as Dumbledore/Amos Diggory, it was great seeing another version of this character as until now I saw Barry in both previous shows.

Conclusion

Watching cursed child is always such a pleasure and this time everything felt perfect and like it all fell into place. The things that I struggled with last time were no issue at all, the show felt a lot less rushed and felt very natural and fresh. This play is just so wonderful and the palace theatre is so beautiful. I would highly recommend seeing cast 4 as they are absolutely amazing. So if you have the chance, do it! If you are in London you really also should give the theatre cafe a visit, for theatre fans it’s such a nice place to be and they freshly moved and renovated and it’s very lovely. They even have a cursed child corner now with the wands from the play (which you should really buy because they are stunning and feel very high quality). The magic of cursed child just never seems to disappoint.

Cast Rachel Lumberg – Rachel Alison Fitzjohn – Claire Emily Joyce – Heather Jayne McKenna – Zoe

Faye Christall – Young Rachel Katy Clayton – Young Heather Rachelle Diedericks – Debbie Sarah Kate Howarth – Young Claire Lauren Jacobs – Young Zoe

The Band AJ Bentley Curtis T Johns Yazdan Qafouri Sario Solomon Harry Brown

Venue: Theatre Royal, Newcastle

Date: Wednesday 11th April 2018

The Band is a new musical which features the music of boyband Take That. The show can really be fit into two parts as to begin with we are transported back to 1993 when The Band were first a hit with Rachel as a 16-year-old and enjoying life with her friends, attending their first concert together but 25 years later everything didn’t really go to plan for them. The vow of always staying in touch was quickly broken and a chance competition and the boys bring them back together again.

I actually really like that they decided to have this type of story for the musical and it wasn’t just focused on Take That as a band in that form of musical. I thought the placement of the songs and moments worked out very well. Let’s face it Take That were the first big boyband within pop music and in the 90s they really were something else. I was slightly too young to really get into all of this and found myself more in the Girl Power era with the Spice Girls a few years later. But I can easily understand why this has sold so well for the tour and the West End stay towards the end of the year, fans don’t leave a band/group.

With the first part of the show focusing on the girls as teenagers and making promises on what will become of their lives we all know that it just wasn’t going to work out that way, nothing ever really goes to a plan does it? Rachel always wanted to get married but she then struggled to get to this moment. This does create some rather heartbreaking and heartwarming moments all rolled into one. That was something that the show offered in terms of the story having plenty of emotional moments that really get you thinking about the life choices you have made and what you will make.

My favourite and standout musical number had to be Shine, that song just worked so well in with that moment in the show and the lyrics are pretty good as well. This was something that was done throughout the show, the song fitting in with the story unfolding on stage. As well as showing just how much the band and the boys meant to Rachel even 25 years later still providing her comfort.

Even though the title of the show is The Band and everything is focused around them it is not really about them, if that even makes any sense at all. It is about the girls and now women who were touched and influenced by the music. So when watching the show you will see the boys in all different roles to have them in each and every scene, with a few opportunities to take centre stage. It has a lot of heart and the reactions from the huge fans in the audience were very impressive to watch. I can therefore fully understand the love towards this show and why it is going to do so well across the whole the UK and allowing people to travel back in time to simpler times.

The Band is currently on a UK Tour which is booking until March 2019 and it will have a brief stay in the West End over Christmas as part of the tour. Check out the dates and venues here.

ASN Bank | The Scapegoat from Ambassadors on Vimeo.

We’re back with a new storybook chapter in an ongoing campaign showing ‘money can create happiness’ for people, plants, and wildlife alike. It’s Ambassadors’ sixth CG animated film created for ASN Bank in collaboration with creative agency Selmore.

This time, viewers are introduced to ‘the Scapegoat’ who is on trial for eating a flower, much to the detriment of the bees who need them to pollinate. After facing prosecution from the other fable forest creatures, it’s decided by the Wise Owl that the Scapegoat also helps fertilize a rich natural world... in his own special way.
