POTTED POTTER: THE UNAUTHORIZED HARRY EXPERIENCE is Coming to Toronto This Holiday Season

London's West End hit Potted Potter: The Unauthorized Harry Experience – A Parody by Dan and Jeff is flying back to Toronto! Seen by over a million muggles around the world including a residency at the Horseshoe Las Vegas the show is set to cast a spell over the Bluma Appel Theatre December 21 - January 14, 2024. Tickets are on sale now and available through Ticketmaster.ca.

Potted Potter has fans flying off their seats (or broomsticks) with laughter and for the first time in North America the Toronto production will feature an all-female cast. Lottie Bell and Josephine Starte will lead the run with Hanna Berrigan swooping in as Associate Director. The cleverly curated show features perfect Potter props complete with wand and sorting hat,  appearances from your favourite characters, and a live Quidditch match!

Ideal for muggles, witches and wizards of all ages, this live production of the boy-who-lived's story combines all seven books into 70 magnificently hilarious minutes.

Created by two-time Olivier Award–nominated BBC Television actors Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner, Starvox Entertainment and Potted Productions first introduced the fabulously funny show to North American audiences in Toronto in 2012. Opening to rave reviews, the show has since toured across North America,  the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Dubai, delighting crowds with its clever wit. Whether you're team Gryffindor or don't know the difference between a Death Eater and a dragon, this show is a h-owling good time.

Perfect for those six to Dumbledore Potted Potter runs Thursday, December 21 - Friday, January 14, 2024 with performances Wednesdays to Fridays at 8 p.m.; Saturdays at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.
