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?”

A WORLD TOUR IN WAX 10 Global Harry Styles Figures Come Together at Madame Tussauds New York

As hundreds of thousands of fans descend on New York City for his 30-night Madison Square Garden residency, Madame Tussauds New York brings together 10 Harry Styles figures for the first time ever.

This summer, that experience gets even more extraordinary as Madame Tussauds New York brings 10 of its global Harry Styles wax figures together under one roof for the first time. The limited-time superfan exhibition celebrates Harry’s upcoming 30-night ‘Together, Together’ residency at Madison Square Garden, giving the hundreds of thousands of fans traveling to New York a special way to celebrate the global superstar and the community that surrounds him. Normally, these figures are spread out across the world, from New York, London, and Hollywood to Singapore, Sydney, Dubai, Amsterdam, Nashville, Orlando, and Las Vegas. Seeing the entire collection requires a passport, multiple flights, and a serious commitment to Harry Styles fandom. For 10 weeks, fans can experience them all in one place, right in the heart of New York City. 26 Everything To Do NYC

A WORLD TOUR IN WAX Each figure offers a snapshot of a different Harry Styles moment, bringing together some of the most memorable fashion and performance looks from his career. In London, Styles appears in a replica of the green Gucci suit he wore to the premiere of My Policeman, while the figure in Hollywood captures the glamour of his ‘Love On Tour’ era in a glitter gold and black ensemble worn during his New York stop. Madame Tussauds New York’s own figure wears a rainbow mirror sequin jumpsuit from weekend one of Coachella 2022, while Nashville showcases another one of his most recognizable festival looks: the all-pink outfit from his unforgettable weekend two Coachella 2022 appearance. Over in Las Vegas, Styles is adorned in his 2023 BRIT Awards look, complete with a red sequin cropped bolero. Orlando’s figure takes inspiration from his appearance at the 2023 Grammy Awards, adding another distinctive moment from his evolving style to the collection. The Amsterdam figure brings a romantic touch with a pink double-breasted suit featuring intricate floral embroidery, while Singapore showcases the blue and yellow two-piece outfit from the Glasgow concert leg. In Sydney, Styles appears in stylish red high-waisted trousers, pink shiny shirt, and a matching feather boa

inspired by the look from his ‘Love On Tour’ night in San Jose, giving fans another opportunity to see the fashion-forward style that has become such an integral part of his public persona. Together, the figures create a visual journey through Styles’ career, from colorful tour costumes, signature HS rings, and sparkling stage wear to tailored Gucci and statement-making red carpet looks. Each one tells its own story but seeing them side by side reveals the evolution of an artist whose fashion has become nearly as recognizable as his music. HARRY, TOGETHER TOGETHER The collection arrives at a moment when Harry Styles fans from around the world will be converging on New York City for his 30-night Madison Square Garden residency. For many, the trip will be about more than seeing a concert. It will be about being part of a shared experience with thousands of other fans who

have traveled to the city for the same reason. Madame Tussauds New York is adding to that experience with an exhibition created with ‘Harries’ in mind. For a limited time, fans can step inside a collection that would normally take them around the world to see, capturing photos with 10 figures that have each made their homes in different cities and countries. And while the figures may have traveled from around the world to meet in New York, the exhibition is ultimately about the people who have made Harry’s journey possible: the fans. For 10 weeks, Madame Tussauds New York becomes a meeting point for Harry Styles superfans arriving from near and far, offering a rare opportunity to experience all 10 figures in one visit. As the city comes alive with the energy of ‘Together, Together’ and Harry’s historic 30-night residency, fans can celebrate the music, the fashion, the memories, and the shared sense of community that has made Harry Styles a global phenomenon.

MADAME TUSSAUDS—200 YEARS OF EXTRAORDINARY HISTORY Madame Tussauds New York is the only place with no ropes or barriers holding you back from your favorite stars. New York City is famous for its gala culture, and you can immerse yourself in the scene at the Glow Gala. Many of the figures, including RuPaul, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry, are wearing illuminated, show-stopping looks inspired by New York’s legendary Met Gala. That’s only the beginning at this revamped Times Square legend, which also features Warner Bros. Icons of Horror, an ultimate Broadway experience, the MARVEL Hall of Heroes, the Fashion Experience with Alessandra Ambrosio, and a hall of international sports stars. For over two centuries, millions of visitors have walked through the doors of Madame Tussauds, and today it remains as iconic and captivating as ever. 234 W. 42nd St. (btw.

Broadway Your Way: A Visitor’s Guide

During these last sultry weeks of Big Apple summer, I offer up a challenge: pick the perfect Broadway show(s) for you and your crew. Luckily, with 30 to 40 Broadway shows running at any given time, “something for everyone” in the City That Never Sleeps is no exaggeration. To help you shortlist the best of the best, here are some of the Theater District’s hottest hits, along with their prominent selling points! TWO FOR THE ROAD The Chance Encounter—basis for countless romcom storylines—has undergone a metamorphosis in Maybe Happy Ending, 2025’s Tony-winning musical by Will Aronson and Hue Park. Set in the not-so-distant future, the couple in question aren’t adorable 20-somethings or reunited Gen-Xers, but rather androids—Oliver (Zachary Noah Piser) and Claire (Hannah Kevitt)—who, despite their youthful designs, are living out their ever-dwindling battery charges in a retirement complex for senior HelperBots.

DIVINE COMEDY

Passionate theatregoers know that most shows fall into one of six categories: Loathsome; Bad; Meh; Good; Excellent; and Yowza. On Broadway, high-profile yowzas tend to be Tony-winning productions with staying power etched into their must-see DNA. Of these, The Book of Mormon is clearly a yowza kingpin, bringing its buoyantly irreverent catechism to audiences since 2011, when creators Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Bobby Lopez first shuttled a couple of naïve Mormon missionaries from Salt Lake City, Utah to a godforsaken Ugandan village. Here the locals feast on blasphemy while dealing with disease, poverty, and a one-eyed warlord. And while much has changed in the world over the past 15 years, the musical has never stopped showcasing exceptional Continued from p. 41 James; Claire has become cynical after watching a human relationship fall apart), the two manage not only to connect, but to take a road trip to Jeju—to find James and to take in the island’s breathtaking light show of fireflies. The stage design for the production is by Dane Laffrey, who picked up a Tony for his synthesis of high-tech constructs—sliding rooms and moving irises—with analog-driven visuals, like the myriad fireflies that illuminate the stage via a manually cranked winch.

Clay, who’s been with the cast since the fall of 2021, states: “If you’ve never seen a Broadway show, see us. If you’ve seen 100, see us. I may be biased, but we are still the funniest show in New York. Fight me.” WORTH KNOWING: Hello!

MANE & TALE Rafiki’s glorious chant “Nants ingonyama bagithi baba” (“Here comes the lion”), fills the theatre, setting in motion Disney’s landmark megahit, The Lion King. Hypnotic in its summoning power, this opening siren’s song by composer Lebo M, captures the majesty of the moment: sunrise on the South African savanna called the Pride Lands, as a jaw-dropping animal parade ambles, strides, and flutters down the aisles and onto the Minskoff Theatre stage. The arrival of these beasts and birds— brought into being by creature-defining masks and puppets designed by Michael Curry and the show's director, Julie Taymor — signifies their loyalty to the reigning monarch, Mufasa, while honoring the future king, his

of the New Amsterdam Theatre eight shows a week: Aladdin, the irrepressible musical must-see, overflowing with action, transformations, amour, and extravagant amounts of magical razzmatazz. Life on the streets is tough, but in the mythical city of Agrabah where the dashing/ penniless title hero of Aladdin (Rodney Ingram) hangs with his posse, the setting is also an exotic hub of adventure where the bustling marketplace is easy pickings and potential romance is just around the corner...possibly in disguise.

In bringing the swashbuckling derring-do and palatial splendor of literature’s “Arabian Nights” to Broadway, the creative team added a hefty dose of humor and a colorful palette of characters including a villainous vizier, Jafar (Dennis Stowe), and his sycophantic sidekick, Iago (Don Darryl Rivera); the lovely Princess Jasmine (Sonya Balsara); and, of course, the show’s master of magic—the one, the only, the inexhaustible—Genie (Caleb A. Barnett), who careens from master of ceremonies to madcap stand-up to song-and-dance superstar. He even manages to wield some Cupid mojo

newborn lion cub, Simba. This is his story, a heartfelt coming-of-age tale tinged with both light and darkness. If you’ve yet to experience The Lion King, I recommend giving yourself over to it completely. When you do, expect to be swept up in an anthropomorphized world of family, friends, enemies, humor, and drama, delivered by a stellar company. WORTH KNOWING: The Lion King features 232 puppets, the largest being Bertha, a 13-foot elephant that requires four puppeteers.

WANDS AT THE READY

Whether you identify as a wizard, witch, muggle, house elf, or phoenix, you’ll find Harry Potter and the Cursed Child impossible to resist. A stage sequel to J.K. Rowling’s HP portfolio—books, films, digital lore, etc. —2018’s Tony-winning play is the highestgrossing non-musical production in Broadway history. Part fantasy, part bromance, part mystery, the storyline revolves around Albus Potter (Harry’s youngest son) and Scorpius Malfoy (Draco’s only child), who meet as first-years en route to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and become entangled in a heart-stopping time-turner scenario that has them resurrecting familiar moments and legacy characters from the past. The show’s mind-bending magical effects feature killer pyrotechnics, nightmarish

Dementors, and a totally insane Polyjuice illusion—and should you wish to try your hand (or QR code) at conjuring, the Lyric Theatre’s lobby (accessible an hour prior to curtain) is ready to accommodate with its enchanted ceiling, portrait gallery, and patronus potential. Wizarding World lounges, photo ops and shops can also be found throughout the theatre, in case you need a back-up wand, Hogsmeade treat, or Butterbeer. WORTH KNOWING: Tom Felton is currently scoring standing ovations as the adult version of Draco Malfoy, the role he originated onscreen in the WB film series.

when he conjures up a flying carpet and whisks Aladdin and Jasmine out and over the audience. As for the duet that accompanies their trip, that would be Alan Menken and Tim Rice’s 1992 Oscar-winning song, “A Whole New World!" WORTH KNOWING: The biggest, baddest, most knockout production number on Broadway, “Friend Like Me”—an homage to Busby Berkeley’s 1933 classic movie musical 42nd Street—boasts killer tap dancing, Art Deco towers, 21 performers, and a pair of pants bedazzled with 1,428 Swarovski crystals.

DON’T STOP ‘TIL YOU GET ENOUGH Four and a half years after opening, crowds of theatregoers can be found lining up outside Broadway’s Neil Simon Theatre, anxious to be a part of MJ the Musical’s spectacular reign. Artfully staged and flawlessly acted, the acclaimed musical bio offers audiences behind-the-scenes insight into pivotal moments in Michael Jackson’s life and career, while showcasing his hits (25 in all), signature dance moves (from moonwalk to robot to anti-gravity lean), and style innovations (aviator sunglasses, fedora, turned-up collar… The Glove).

Deco glamour fills the stage at The Great Gatsby.

“When it comes to quintessential Broadway glamour, The Great Gatsby is unrivaled.”

Tapping into the King of Pop’s charisma, passion, and perfectionism as he prepares for his 1992 Dangerous Tour is Matte Martinez, whose first moments onstage are punctuated by a spot-on embodiment of Jackson joining the ensemble for “Beat It”—the show’s electrifying opening number that lays the groundwork for flashbacks built around an MTV documentary. The overall effect is mesmerizing, as one would expect given the book is by Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage and the Tony-winning choreography is by Christopher Wheeldon who, FYI, also directed MJ. WORTH KNOWING: A) Sound-designed by Tony winner Gareth Owen, over 200 speakers fill the theatre, creating a pulsating, concertlike rumble that vibrates through the audience; and B) the five washing machines backstage are named Bubbles; Tina Turner; Billie Jean, Thing 1, and Thing 2.

STAR-CROSSED PASSION When it comes to quintessential Broadway glamour, The Great Gatsby, in its first incarnation as a musical, is unrivaled. Set within a Jazz Age playground slathered in excess, the show radiates retro chic—exemplified in Linda Cho‘s Tony-winning costumes and Paul Tate dePoo III‘s dazzling Art-Deco architecture— while shedding light on the era’s societal issues, most prominently the clash between

“old money,” represented by Tom Buchanan, and acquired wealth, like Jay Gatsby’s lavish (albeit questionable) cash flow. Based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s seminal novel, the production kicks into high gear within the first 10 minutes with a majorly decadent dance party at Gatsby’s posh Long Island mansion. Bootleg liquor flows; beautiful hangers-on fill the stage; the musical number “Roaring On” peaks; and the title character is nowhere to be seen. His absence says it all: Gatsby, for all his wealth and trappings, remains an enigmatic figure who couldn’t care less about socializing with his guests. His only motivation… obsession…is Daisy Buchanan, the love who “got away.” The musical’s chronicler is Nick Carraway (Corbin Bleu), Daisy’s cousin, whose first speech indicates that he’s observing everything through a rear-view mirror: “Reserving judgment is an act of infinite hope. And after all that’s happened, I’ve begun to suspect I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known.” Considering the incredible story about to unravel, he’s not wrong. WORTH KNOWING: The onstage cars— Gatsby's yellow Rolls-Royce and Tom’s blue coupe—are controlled and steered by the cityguideny.com/theater 49

actors. And while no pulleys or tracks are used, there is a kill switch backstage in case of a malfunction. BEWITCHING HOUR At 22-going-on-23 blockbuster years, Wicked has cast a seductive spell that continues to attract not only slews of devoted fans, but ever-growing numbers of Wicked rookies, psyched for their first visit to the Gershwin Theatre’s enchanted garden of Ozian delights. By stylistically merging Dickensian steampunk with 21st century technology, the show instantly sweeps audiences out of present day and into a special-effects joy ride overflowing with fantastical plot twists. Featuring a score by Oscar-winning composer

Stephen Schwartz and a book by Tony nominee Winnie Holzman, the production—a prequel inspired by novelist Gregory Maguire’s revisionist backstory—swivels “The Wizard of Oz” spotlight from Dorothy and her trio of traveling companions onto two young witches: perky “It girl” Glinda Upland (Emma Flynn) and ostracized green intellectual Elphaba Thropp (Kerri René Fuller), beginning with their time together at Oz’s Shiz University. Even before the lights come down on Act I, the two understand that “good” and “wicked” have a lot to teach each other, from the pros and cons of being “Popular,” to what it means to “Defy Gravity,” to tackling injustice—together. WORTH KNOWING: Maguire coined the name Elphaba from L. Frank Baum’s initials: L-F-B.

Broadway newcomer Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) at the Longacre Theatre is a heartwarming story starring dynamic performers Sam Tutty and Christiani Pitts, who bring the audience along for their two-day adventure in NYC. Through fun songs, playful interactions, and a simple set, they express the excitement, challenges, and uniqueness of the city, and show how a meaningful relationship can sometimes develop spontaneously. Attendees laugh out loud and leave with a smile (and maybe a few tears shed along the way). 50 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 summer 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. • NY Waterway: High-speed commuter service between NJ and Manhattan, with fares ranging from $9–$21.50. Includes free connecting shuttle buses in Midtown Manhattan.

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
