Not what I expected
Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago
Bought these tickets knowing the whole idea behind the show and was totally on board. The show seemed much more juvenile than expected and there were not much, of any, really good Harry Potter references... and by this I mean, if you’ve never read or watched anything Harry Potter, you would have followed along just fine. It was ok.. just not what we expected.

Great Date Night
Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago
My wife and I decided to drive to the city to see what this show was all about. Even though she is the avid potter fan and I’m more of a casual fan, we both thoroughly enjoyed the show. Lots of fun and laughs throughout the show. Would recommend to anyone. Potter fan or not.

This show great! Hilarious! I loved the references from pop culture and other shows. James and Joe did a great job with audience participation, especially with the children. Definitely worth seeing.

Potted Potter experience
Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago
This show was great! It was hilarious! I loved the ad libs from pop culture and other shows and movies. Also as an educator for many years I thought Joe and James did a grest job of involving the children inthe audience. Audience participation can be intimidating for young children, but these guys made the children laugh and feel comfortable.

I thought thisxwas great. It was hilarious! As someone who has been in education for many years I thought Joe and James did a great job with partucioation from the children. It can be kind of intimidating for children to participate, but they did a great job of making the children laugh and feel comfortable. I loved the ad libs and pop culture refferences from other shows and movies.

Fun
Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago
We were not sure what to expect for 7 books in 70 minutes. Whatever expectations we had in our heads were quickly gone once the show began. Once, we got over the disappointed that each character from the books was not going to be onstage and it was going to be nothing like the books, we were able to enjoy the show. It is funny and silly and kind of slapstick and the books were incorporated just not in the way we kind of wished they were. It truly is a parody as advertised with 2 guys on stage that looks like nothing from the Harry Potter world. It was overall a fun show. Younger kids will really like the silliness of it.

Potted Potter the New York and West End smash hit has garnered rave reviews from New York to Nashville, Chicago to Mexico City and Critics' Picks from the New York Times, New York Magazine, Time Out London, Boston Globe, Chicago Daily Herald and the New York Post!
Playing to sold out houses all over the world, Potted Potter takes on the ultimate challenge of condensing all seven Harry Potter books (and a real life game of Quidditch) into seventy hilarious minutes. This fantastically funny show features all your favorite characters, a special appearance from a fire-breathing dragon, endless costumes, brilliant songs, ridiculous props and a generous helping of Hogwarts magic!
Even if you don’t know the difference between a Horcrux and a Hufflepuff, Potted Potter will make you roar with laughter. This brilliant family entertainment is perfect for ages six to Dumbledore (who is very old indeed).
