Back by popular—nay, "magical"—demand, this amazingly hilarious parody show of the Harry Potter series returns to Manila stage this month
Following three sold-out seasons in the previous years, Potted Potter, makes a triumphant return to the country! Potted Potter opens at the Maybank Performing Arts Theater, BGC Arts Centre on March 20 for 9 shows only.
After a successful stint in 2012, the show returned to Manila in 2013 and 2014 much to the delight of its Filipino fans. Playing to full 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 70 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!
Potted Potter Productions was founded in 2006 by James Seabright to produce the work of Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner. Since then, it has produced Potted Potter in the UK, Australasia and North America, including two West End and two off-Broadway seasons. It has also commissioned and produced the new shows Potted Pirates (Edinburgh, UK tours), Potted Panto (Edinburgh, West End and UK tour; Olivier Award Nomination for Best Entertainment 2011) and Potted Sherlock (Edinburgh, West End and US/Canada tour).
