The ENTIRE Harry Potter Saga
Delivered live on stage in 70 Hilarious Minutes!
Award-winning stage show back in Hong Kong for an encore tour on
23-28 September 2014
The West End and New York Smash hit, and nominee for the 2012 Oliver Award, Potted Potter is everything about the magical world of Harry Potter and much, much more! Playing to packed houses all over the world, Potted Potter takes on the ultimate comedic challenge of condensing all seven Harry Potter books (and a real-life game Quidditch) into 70 hilarious minutes! After 20 successful performances in 2012, Potted Potter is back in Hong Kong for encore performances from 23-28 September 2014 at the Drama Theatre in The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.
“Blissfully funny, a winner in every way. This show is a crowd-pleaser.” The Guardian, UK
Potted Potter is a fantastically funny show featuring everyone’s favourite Harry Potter characters, a special appearance from a fire-breathing dragon, splendid costumes, brilliant songs, hilarious props and generous helpings of Hogwarts magic! Created by double Olivier Award Best Entertainment nominees Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner, the show is a must-see for all Potter enthusiasts. Even if you don’t know the difference between a Horcrux and a Hufflepuff, you’ll want to know what the fuss is all about. This brilliant family entertainment is perfect from age 6 to the very very old (like Dumbledore); Potted Potter will make anyone roar with laughter!
Receiving rave reviews from leading British media including a Time Out Critic’s Choice, Potted Potter was first created by Clarkson and Turner in 2005 for a London bookshop as a five-minute sketch for queuing fans awaiting the release of the sixth Harry Potter book. From there, the show eventually grew into a full-length stage production. First seen at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2006, Potted Potter has since toured internationally, including sell-out seasons at the Adelaide Fringe, Melbourne Comedy Festival and New Zealand Comedy Festival.
“Fabulously Funny! Will tickle the funny bone of every age group.” The London Daily Telegraph
In 2012, the Potted Potter team brought the show to Hong Kong for the first time with 20 performances. The show was incredibly well received by local audiences, who gave some of the most enthusiastic responses the creators and performers have seen throughout the world. See how the team pulls off a crazy game of real-life Quidditch in front of a live audience when the show returns to Hong Kong this September!
Be sure to also keep an eye out for Potted Sherlock, the forthcoming show from the Potted Potter team. See how the team takes on the classic Sherlock Holmes series in their unique and hilarious way when the show premieres in Edinburgh in August 2014.
