From the August 22nd Instagram post by Michael Kras:
Some exciting news: I’ve landed in New York because tomorrow, I begin my new job as the Magic & Illusion Lead for the North American Tour of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
This is my first-ever national tour and I’m so eager to get to return to this world after serving on the magic direction team for the Canadian premiere.
I’m only in NYC for a heartbeat before flying to Chicago for tech and previews, and then I’ll be looking after the show as it tours on to Los Angeles, Washington, and well beyond.
LET’S GO 🪄
