Presented by Salty Theatre, Theatre Works and Red Hot Productions, Voldemort and the Teenage Hogwarts Musical Parody is a hilarious musical adventure through love, teenage angst and the Unforgivable Curses.

Featuring familiar characters Hagrid (Jay Haggett), Dumbledore (Guilly Urra) and Tom Riddle (Alex Donnelly), as well as fresh faces Derald Bacon (Jonathon Shilling), Genevieve Gryffindor (Stephanie John) and Muffin Rows (Lala Barlow), Voldemort and the Teenage Hogwarts Musical Parody promises to be stacked with spellbinding action, catchy musical numbers and back-to-back one-liners.
