he Music of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, an album of music by Imogen Heap from the internationally acclaimed stage production, is available for pre-order in both physical and digital formats.
Premiering alongside today’s preorder are two previously unreleased tracks from the album, “Platform 9¾” and “In Trouble (Again)” – listen here. Mimicking the flurry of emotions experienced by wizarding students as they board the Hogwarts Express, “Platform 9¾” transports listeners to the start of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and lays the foundation for the album’s musical journey. The journey then continues with “In Trouble (Again),” a darkly explorative track from Suite Three that also makes its debut today.
Written, composed, performed and recorded by Grammy and Ivor Novello Award-winner Imogen Heap, The Music of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will be released by Sony Music Masterworks, and available in stores as well as digitally on November 2, 2018. It is presented as four contemporary musical suites, each showcasing one of the play’s theatrical acts. This unique new album format from Imogen Heap chronologically features the music heard in the stage production, further reworked to transport listeners on a sonic journey through the world of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a new play by Jack Thorne, directed by John Tiffany with movement by Steven Hoggett, set by Christine Jones, costumes by Katrina Lindsay, music & arrangements by Imogen Heap, lighting by Neil Austin, sound by Gareth Fry, illusions & magic by Jamie Harrison, music supervision & arrangements by Martin Lowe.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child received its world premiere in July 2016 at the Palace Theatre in London, where it continues to play to sold out houses. It is also now playing at Broadway’s Lyric Theatre in New York City, with an Australian production beginning performances at Melbourne’s Princess Theatre on January 16, 2019. A further North American production will open at San Francisco’s Curran in autumn 2019 and, in spring 2020, a German language version of the play – marking its first non-English language production – will open at the Mehr! Theater am Großmarkt in Hamburg, Germany.
