The hit off-Broadway show Potted Potter: The Unauthorized Harry Experience - A Parody by Dan and Jeff begins performances one week from today, Thursday, May 30, at off-Broadway's Little Shubert Theatre (422 West 42nd Street). The 13-week return engagement officially opens on Tuesday, June 4th and runs through Sunday, September 1st, 2013.

In celebration of the opening night on June 4th, the producers of Potted Potter have announced a Super Fan Ticket Giveaway. The first 50 people in line at the Little Shubert Theatre on wearing Potter-themed outfits will each get one free ticket to that evening's performance. Tickets will be distributed beginning at 6:45pm for the 7:30pm opening. Additionally, prizes will also be rewarded for the best costumes.

Potted Potter is written and performed by Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner with direction by Richard Hurst. The creative team includesSimon Scullion (Sets), Tim Mascall (Lighting), Phil Innes (Music), Richard Hurst (additional material) and Hanna Berrigan (Associate Director).

Corey Ross/Starvox Entertainment and James Seabright/Potted Productions are the producers of Potted Potter: The Unauthorized Harry Experience - A Parody by Dan and Jeff.

In addition to being a critic's pick by the New York Times, New York Magazine and Time Out London, the show received the prestigious 2012 Olivier Award nomination for Best Entertainment & Family Show, playing to sold out houses worldwide.

Corey Ross, president of Starvox Entertainment said "After a wildly successful extended run at New York's Little Shubert Theater last season, an incredibly successful national tour and an ongoing production in London, we are so excited to return to NYC where we were so warmly welcomed last year. Potted Potter is a wonderfully entertaining time for all ages, both fans and neophytes of the Harry Potter phenomenon alike."

Written and performed by former BBC Television hosts Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner, the play takes on the ultimate challenge of condensing, or "potting" all seven Harry Potter books into 70 madcap minutes, aided only by multiple costume changes, brilliant songs, ridiculous props and a generous helping of Hogwarts magic. The show also invites audiences to engage with a real life game of Quidditch, according to Clarkson and Turner's unique set of rules.

Whether you camped outside a bookstore for three days awaiting the release of the Deathly Hallows or you don't know the difference between a Horcrux and a Hufflepuff, the comedy, magic and mayhem of Potted Potter makes for an entertaining and hilarious visit to the theatre. The fast-paced show, which has made audiences aged six to Dumbledore (who is very old indeed) roar with laughter all over the world, is perfect for the entire family.
