Wizards, Muggles, critics, Harry Potter fans and audiences of all ages have been charmed by Potted Potter: The Unauthorized Harry Experience – A Parody by Dan and Jeff. With record-breaking ticket sales, Starvox Entertainment and Potted Productions have announced a final extension of the production, which will now run until Sunday, April 8 (Easter Sunday).
“We have never been part of a show that has had such universal acclaim and enjoyment from audiences of all ages,” said producer Corey Ross. “We could not be more pleased to bring such incredible talent to Toronto and share their magic.” The show has had an overwhelmingly positive critical response, including a four-star review from Richard Ouzounian, theatre critic for the Toronto Star. “Even if you don’t know your wand from a hole in the ground, I guarantee you’ll go positively potty over Potted Potter,” said Ouzounian.
Audiences of all ages have also been enthusiastically raving about the show, some of whom have come back two or three times. Children, especially, have loved the fun and accessible Potter-themed humour. The enthusiasm for the show has been palpable for the stars, Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner as well.
“We’ve been delighted to make our North American premiere in Toronto, and the response from Ontario audiences has been simply amazing,” said Clarkson and Turner. “We thought that our time here was going to be over soon, so it’s great that we are extending until Easter and will have some more time to enjoy Canada and the great Panasonic Theatre audiences!”
Potted Potter was originally booked for a two-week run at the Panasonic Theatre. Due to incredible public response and strong ticket sales, a first extension was announced in December and a second extension in February, for a total nine-week Canadian run.
Don’t miss this last chance to see Potted Potter on stage in Toronto. Tickets are still available for many shows, including special matinee performances during March break. The producers and cast have also created a special “buy three, get one free” offer as a thank-you to the incredibly supportive audience.
