Potted Potter
Bewitching writer-performers Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner lovingly poke fun at Pottermania as they set out to recap all seven books in the Harry Potter series in 70 minutes. The spry Brits cast a charming spell with their slapdash whirlwind of silly costumes, laughably cheap props, hilarious improv, and audience participation, but this glorified children’s show would be more magical at Universal’s Harry Potter theme park.
Little Shubert Theatre, open-ended.
