00:00I'm Sonia Freedman, producer of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
00:03And I'm Colin Callender, producer of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
00:06Well here we are in the Palastietta in London.
00:08It's gothic, it's mysterious, it's majestic,
00:12and from the outside it feels like you're coming into Hogwarts.
00:17It was the only theatre for us, it was the obvious choice.
00:20Even though it's 1,350 seats, there's a wonderful intimacy about it.
00:26This is one of the iconic London theatres and consequently of the world.
00:33I mean it does stand alone, it literally is completely detached.
00:36I don't think there's any other theatre, certainly not in central London,
00:39where you've got that, where you can actually walk all the way around the building
00:41and it stands like this kind of citadel right in the heart of the West End
00:48with this just magnificent facade to it.
00:51Yeah, it's going to hold it, this theatre's going to hold this play
00:55in a beautiful space for a very long time.
00:58It's Hogwarts in it, it looks like Hogwarts.
01:00And you wander through and you go, look at this place.
01:03I just think it's the perfect theatre for us
01:05and I'm so excited that they're letting us play in there.
