I am a huge Harry Potter fan. I have been since the very first book came out when I was in the 7th grade. Since then this has become sort of my addiction, obsession, go-to-books and movies. The Harry Potter book series and movies are over so I am always looking for other " Potter" related things to do. My friend ran across this when we were walking downtown and we immediately purchased tickets. I have to say for a two man show it was rather funny. If you can I suggest you sit as close as you can to the front, they do a lot of audience participation. The show was so funny, and you can tell that the show is kind of different every night, because they try and change it depending on the audiences reaction. I have never laughed that much in 70 minuets in my life.
Keep in mind this really is a Harry Potter geared show, so don't take someone that has never read the books or seen the movies. They will not get the jokes, and be so confused because like the poster says " All 7 books in 70 minuets" and they mean it. The guys are always running around, talking so fast, costume changes, changing character dialog it is CRAZY....
What I loved the most is that one of the guys came out before the show and talked to the audience. Not the I am on stage so I am going to talk to you.. but the I am going to WALK AROUND and shake hands with you and talk. Pretty awesome.
The house is rather small, so any seat you can get, would still give you a great view of the stage. Our tickets were 80.00 dollars, kind of high for a two man, 70 min show but again.. totally worth it.
Bottom line, I would go again... without question. If you are a Harry Potter Fan.. this is a must see. They even reference Star Wars and Narnia :)

Loved it, loved it, loved it!! Nice, casual approach to take with the performance, otherwise it would have been difficult mountain to conquer. Loved the loose script, left the door open for audience personality to come through.
Doesn't give away too much, so that people who have not read the books will still need to read them. Also, easy enough for newbies follow along and participate. Yet, exciting enough for the Pott-heads out there craving a new Harry experience.
My one disappointment came in the lack of merchandise to purchase. I went with a pocketful of cash to buy some Potted Potter gear, but all they had was some cheap trinkets and a dull t-shirt. Didn't buy anything.
Kept me laughing the entire time, never a dull moment. Hoping I can get into a second performance!!

The show starts off with jokes about how the actors were too cheap to buy a real set and offer any special effects. By making this a joke one is forced to take note of the modest set and realize that they spent $50+ on what is basically an average comedy routine.
The actors were energetic and funny and kids will really enjoy this show. However, I couldn't stop thinking about how much I was getting ripped off. I expected more. For adults, save half your money and go see a real comedy routine at Second City or iO.

I thought the show was great, really funny, and me not being a Harry potter fan the night was enjoyable. However the price for tickets for a 80 min show is crazy! Reduce ticket prices and I would see it again and again

This is a show for tweens. Just so you know. It's funny and high energy. But it's a, "My parent drove me here" show.

Being a huge Harry Potter fan, I was really excited to see this parody on all 7 Potter books. Usually when a play or concert goes over their expected time, I love enjoying the extra time. But with this one, I was ready for it to be over. There were some funny parts, but on the whole. the majority of it was pretty bad. I think the price is far to expensive for what you get. I woud not refer a friend to see, unless it was close to free. Very sad and disappointed.

Any fan of the Potter series, whether it be the books and/or the movies, must see this show, even though two Muggles put it on. It is one of those shows that even as a 30 year old man, I could not help but laugh and have a little kid smile on my face from start to finish. Yes this show is kid friendly, there are just moments for the adults to enjoy more than the kids.

Potted Potter is a hilarious, fast-paced, audience interactive play that the entire family can enjoy. I laughed until my cheeks hurt hand tears ran down my face!

Thought they play was great! One of the actors actually came into the audience before the show to shake our hand and thank us for coming. That was really special. The interaction with the audience was great!

Potter Potter was a cute parody of the Harry Potter books. We took all of our kids (aged 10-26). I think our 10 year old liked it the best!! the funniest parts were the adlibbed ones onstage. we had a very fun evening.

Potted Potter was great fun for all fans of the series (books and films). Jeff and Dan put on a warm, energetic, clever and very funny show that kept our whole party (ages 11 through 50) laughing for 90 minutes. It's a winner.

Dan and Jeff put on a great show. It didn't matter if you had read all the books, seen all the movies, or none of them, the show would have been understandable and hysterical. Great job, guys! Our daughters are 11, and have read and seen all that is Harry Potter, and they about fell out of their seas laughing at times. My wife and I, have only seen bits of some of the movies, but we also found the show equally as funny.

I paid $90/ticket to see this show, so I was somewhat offended when the actors joked about the low-budget props. If you have a stuffed dragon as prop, why am I paying $90? Although funny, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone based on the price alone.
