The return of ‘Potted Potter’

-

Potted Potter returns to Manila for a rerun on Jan. 30 to Feb. 3 at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza Ñ nine shows only.

After sold-out houses during the Þrst season in Manila last August, 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 Þre-breathing dragon, endless costumes, brilliant songs, ridiculous props and a generous helping of Hogwarts magic.

The production has spread its charm and easily gained popularity from Filipino potterhead­s and non-potter fans when it visited Manila for their Þrst stop of the world tour. Producer James Cundall, CEO of Lunchbox Theatrical Production­s said, ÒWith an utterly great reception of the audiences, we did not have second thoughts on bringing back the show in Manila.Ó

The big comeback of the comic duo, Jesse Briton and Gary Trainor, will cap off their worldwide tour here in Manila. The 2012-2013 tour includes Singapore, Hong Kong, Auckland and Wellington in New Zealand, Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, currently in Brisbane then show goes to Adelaide, Australia, then to Johannesbu­rg and Cape Town, South Africa.

This 2012 Olivier Award nominee for best entertainm­ent and family show is a must-see for Potter addicts and a great introducti­on to the series for anyone whoÕs ever wondered what all the fuss is about.

Potted Potter in Manila is produced by Lunchbox Theatrical Production­s, Potted Production­s, Concertus Manila and Hi DeÞnition Radio.
