Potted Potter (2.0/5)

Potted Potter (2.0/5)
Comedy Theatre, Melbourne
21 October 2012

Seven novels and eight movies condensed into seventy minutes. Kids and families lapped-up the slapstick comedy of this somewhat selective, superficial and at times frantic Potter précis. Unaccompanied adults enjoyed the occasional chuckle but otherwise were left wishing for a cloak of invisibility. Potted Potter takes the quickest route to kiddy humour, absent the subtle innuendo and elaborate costumes that gives the best of pantomime broader appeal and a touch of class.
