Meet POTTED POTTER's Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner Live on Twitter, 7/19!

Meet-Creators-and-Stars-of-POTTED-POTTER-Live-on-Twitter-20010101

Starvox Entertainment and Potted Productions have announced that Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner, the creators and stars of Potted Potter: The Unauthorized Harry Experience – A Parody by Dan and Jeff, will chat with fans on Twitter Thursday July 19th from 2pm to 3pm, ET. Dan & Jeff will take over the @PottedPotter Twitter feed and do their very best to get your questions answered.

Start posting your questions now to the Guestbook or ask your question directly during the live Twitter chat. To participate, just follow @PottedPotter and be sure to use the hashtag #DanJeffchat when tweeting your questions.

Potted Potter, now extended to September 2nd, has played to sold-out houses in Toronto, London, Edinburgh, Australia and New Zealand prior to its US debut at the Little Shubert Theater (422 West 42nd Street, between 9th and 10th Avenues). This limited engagement will now continue through September 2nd to accommodate overwhelming demand.

Written and performed by Olivier Award-nominated actors 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, but 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 suitable for the whole family, including grown-ups, Muggles and Squibs.

Clarkson and Turner have earned widespread acclaim and a fan base that crosses generations. It played five sold-out Fringe seasons in Edinburgh, five sold-out London runs and extensive U.K. and international tours. This is the first time Potted Potter has been performed in United States. The show has received rave reviews from The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, Sunday Express, Daily Mail, Evening Standard and the Financial Times, as well as being a Time Out Critic's Choice in London in 2011.

Daniel Clarkson first met Jefferson Turner while Turner was busking in Covent Garden, and since then, the two have been inseparable. Beginning in December 2008, the pair hosted Children's BBC on BBC1 throughout 2009. Their first show, Potted Potter toured nationally throughout 2007 and 2008 and enjoyed four sold-out London runs and four sold-out Edinburgh Festival Fringe seasons (2006 to 2009). The 2010 Edinburgh Festival Fringe saw the premiere of the duo's latest show Potted Panto, which played London's West End over Christmas & New Year's 2010-2011 before touring nationally and will return to London this Christmas. Potted Panto was recently nominated for a Best Entertainment Olivier Award.

Potted Productions was established in 2006 to produce all of Clarkson and Turner's live stage shows, and it has brought Potted Potter: The Unauthorized Harry Experience – A Parody by Dan and Jeff, Potted Pirates and Potted Panto to stages around the world since then. London-based producer and founder James Seabright is the author of So You Want To Be A Theatre Producer?, a book on producing, which was recently published in North America.

Starvox Entertainment, founded by Corey Ross, produces, manages, represents and promotes crossover performing arts shows that tour the world. Starvox has toured shows across Canada and the United States, as well as México, China, the Middle East and Europe. Highlights of Starvox's international projects include presentations for the Shanghai International Arts Festival (China), the Tamaulipas International Festival (México), the launch event for the 50th Anniversary of the Casino du Beirut in Lebanon, a production at France's opulent theatre Le Casino du Paris, and most recently, Hope Rising!, a concert benefitting the Stephen Lewis Foundation, featuring Alicia Keys, Rufus Wainwright, K'naan, Harry Belafonte, and the Toronto run of the acclaimed Alberta Ballet production of Love Lies Bleeding, a modern ballet based on the life and music of Sir Elton John.
