Potty The Plant: Dark, Adorable and Unmissable - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Taking a leaf out of Avenue Q's raunchy, adult-puppet playbook, 'Potty the Plant' sprouts onto the stage with a deliciously dark and humorous premise. This production centers on an anthropomorphic plant in a doctor's surgery, who finds himself entangled in a mystery of missing children, all while navigating the thorny path of unrequited love for the nurse.

The production immediately impresses with its highly professional staging. A meticulously crafted set transports the audience directly into the doctor’s surgery, creating an authentic and immersive atmosphere. Yet, it cleverly embraces a satirical nod to amateur theatre; elements like a bedpan or a wheelchair are deftly repurposed for new scenes, serving as both practical props and a witty acknowledgement of theatrical conventions without excessive extravagance.

Musically, 'Potty the Plant' is equally strong. The songs are well-constructed, expertly performed, and effortlessly weave satire from both classic musicals and the unfolding narrative. Their adult themes are perfectly in line with the show's R-rated puppet tone, adding another layer of comedic punch. The entire cast delivers perfection; not a single step is missed, ensuring the whole performance runs with butter-smooth precision.
