POTTED POTTER Returns to Playhouse Square This Weekend
Written and created by former BBC Television hosts Daniel Clarkson & Jefferson Turner, Potted Potter 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 and ridiculous props, resulting in a hilarious retelling of the Harry Potter saga. 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.
A Critic's Pick by the New York Times, New York Magazine and Time Out London, Potted Potter won the prestigious 2012 Olivier Award nomination for Best Entertainment & Family Show; playing to sold-out houses worldwide.
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 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.

Performance times are Thursday at 7:30 p.m., Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and Sunday at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are on sale now at playhousesquare.org, 216-241-6000 and the Playhouse Square Ticket Office.
