Ep.18: Broadway, Butterbeer, & Baked Alaska - The Cursed Child with Tom Felton
Episode notes
This week on Yap About It, we’re taking you to New York City at Christmas for a Broadway weekend that felt straight out of a movie!
We’re diving deep into our experience seeing Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway, including the once-in-a-lifetime moment of watching Tom Felton reprise his role as Draco Malfoy live on stage.
From practical effects and favorite performances to the biggest differences between the London and New York productions, we break down everything you need to know before you go.
But the magic didn’t stop at the theater doors. We’re sharing our full NYC holiday experience — surviving snowstorms, navigating Times Square chaos, hunting down the best Christmas trees, and of course, eating our way through the city.
From steak at Delmonico’s and hot butterbeer at the Harry Potter store to bagels, pizza, cocktails, and baked Alaska, this episode turns into a full-on food tour.
Plus, we’re giving you our real, hard-earned stage door tips on how to meet Tom Felton after the show — what time to go, where to stand, what not to do with your playbill, and how to actually walk away with a photo.
If you’re planning a Broadway trip, a New York Christmas getaway, or just love a little Harry Potter nostalgia with your pop culture recaps, this one’s for you.
