Seven cast members of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will open the Broadway production this coming March. Variety reports Jamie Parker, Noma Dumezweni and Anthony Boyle (all Olivier winners) and four other British actors will lead the cast of one of the most hotly anticipated productions of the Broadway season.

The play is the newest chapter in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter saga and opened last summer to critical acclaim. It went on to win a record nine Oliviers, including the trophies for Parker (as a grown-up Harry), Dumezwani (as Hermione) and Boyle, who plays Scorpius, the son of Harry’s old nemesis, Draco Malfoy.

Rowling and Jack Thorne wrote the story and John Tiffany is directing the production, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child takes place 20 years after the events of the novels and focuses on a threat from the past that both the adults, now members of the Ministry of Magic, and their children at Hogwarts must confront.

Cursed Child opens on Broadway at the Lyric Theater on April 22. Tickets go on sale October 12.
