POTTED POTTER Returning to Chicago

By:

Broadway In Chicago has announced Starvox Entertainment and Potted Productions' hit off-Broadway show, Potted Potter: The Unauthorized Harry Experience - A Parody by Dan and Jeff, returns to Chicago to play the Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place (175 East Chestnut) December 2, 2015 through January 3, 2016.

A Critic's Pick by the Daily Herald, New York Times, New York Magazine, Time Out London, Washington Post and Boston Globe, the show won the prestigious 2012 Oliver Award nomination for Best Entertainment & Family Show, playing to sold-out houses worldwide.

Written and performed by former BBC Television hosts Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner, the play takes on the ultimate challenge of condensing, or "potting", all seven Harry Potter books into 70 madcap minutes, aided only by multiple costume changes, brilliant songs, ridiculous props and a generous helping of Hogwarts magic. The show also invites audiences to engage with a real life game of Quidditch, but according to Clarkson and Turner's unique set of rules.

Whether you camped outside a bookstore for three days awaiting the release of the Deathly Hallows or you don't know the difference between a horcrux and a Hufflepuff, the comedy, magic and mayhem of Potted Potter: The Unauthorized Harry Experience - A Parody by Dan and Jeff makes for an entertaining and hilarious visit to the theatre. The fast-paced show, which has made audiences aged six to Dumbledore (who is very old indeed) roar with laughter all over the world, is perfect for the entire family.

Individual tickets for Potted Potter: The Unauthorized Harry Experience - A Parody by Dan and Jeff will go on-sale to the public at a later date. Group tickets for 10 or more are available now by calling Broadway In Chicago Group Sales at (312) 977-1710.
