West End's POTTED POTTER to Open in Australia, Beg. Oct 2

West End hit Potted Potter, The unauthorized Harry Potter Experience is set to open in Australia, playing limited seasons in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide from 2 October. Tickets are on sale now.

Playing to sold out houses all over the world, POTTED POTTER takes on the ultimate challenge of condensing all seven Harry Potter books (and a real life game of Quidditch) into seventy hilarious minutes. This fantastically funny show features all your favourite 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 Potter addicts and a great introduction to the series for anyone who’s ever wondered what all the fuss is about. Even if you don’t know the difference between a Horcrux and a Hufflepuff, POTTED POTTER will make you roar with laughter. This brilliant family entertainment is perfect for ages six to Dumbledore (who is very old indeed).

POTTED POTTER has played to sold out houses in Toronto, London, Edinburgh, and opened Off-Broadway yesterday, May 19, 2012.

Clarkson and Turner first performed POTTED POTTER in 2005 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 full-length stage production, first seen at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2006, and has since toured internationally.

Written by Daniel Clarkson & Jefferson Turner, with direction and additional material by Richard Hurst, the show features set design by Simon Scullion, lighting design by Tim Mascall, music composed by Phil Innes, associate direction by Hanna Berrigan
