PottedPotter-WandDuoPotted Potter: The Unauthorized Harry Experience returns in December

Broadway In Chicago recently announced that individual tickets for the hit off-Broadway show, Potted Potter: The Unauthorized Harry Experience – A Parody by Dan and Jeff, went on sale in September. Potted Potter returns to Chicago to play the Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place (175 E. Chestnut) Dec. 2, 2015 through Jan. 3, 2016.

A Critic’s Pick by the Daily Herald, New York Times, New York Magazine, Time Out London, Washington Post and Boston Globe, the show won the prestigious 2012 Oliver Award nomination for Best Entertainment & Family Show, playing to sold-out houses worldwide.

Created 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 by multiple costume changes, brilliant songs, ridiculous props and a generous helping of Hogwarts magic.

Tickets range from $39-$69. Visit www.BroadwayInChicago.com for more information.

Clybourn), Kings’ new 24,000 square-foot complex will be its most impressive to date, featuring 16 bowling lanes, a full-service upscale lounge, 80-foot bar and game room complete with “low-tech” social games such as billiards, air hockey, foosball and shuffleboard.

Having opened its first Chicago-area location in Rosemont’s MB Financial Park in 2012, the Lincoln Park location will be Kings’ eighth venue nationwide.

During the day, families are encouraged to bring the kids until later in the evening, when Kings becomes an adult playground with a late-night DJ who will spin tunes after 10 p.m.
