Harry Potter parody set to cast spell
The West End and New York smash hit Potted Potter: The Unauthorized Harry Experience — A Parody by Dan and Jeff is coming to Manila for a very limited run on Aug. 28 to Sept. 2 at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza in Makati City. Playing to sold- out houses worldwide,
Potted Potter takes on the ultimate challenge of condensing all seven Harry
Potter books ( and a real- life game of Quidditch) into 70 hilarious minutes.
The fantastically funny show features all your favorite characters, a special appearance from a fire- breathing dragon, endless costumes, brilliant songs, ridiculous props and a generous helping of Hogwarts magic.
Created by double Olivier Award Best Entertainment nominees Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner, the show is a must- see for Harry Potter addicts and a great introduction to the series for anyone who has ever wondered what the fuss is all about. Even if you don’t know the difference between a Horcrux and a Hufflepuff, Potted Potter will make you roar with laughter. The family entertainment is perfect for ages six to Dumbledore ( who is very old indeed).
Potted Potter played five sold- out seasons in Edinburgh, five sold- out London runs and extensive UK and international tours. The show has received rave reviews from all the leading UK papers — The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, The Times, Sunday Express, Daily Mail, London Evening Standard and The Financial Times, as well as being a Time Out Critic’s Choice. Clarkson and Turner first created
Potted Potter in 2005 for an appearance at a London bookshop, as a five- minute entertainment for fans awaiting the release of the sixth book in the series. The show grew from there into a fulllength stage production, first seen at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2006 and has since toured internationally, including sellout seasons at the Adelaide Fringe, Melbourne Comedy Festival and New Zealand Comedy Festival in 2009.
