About the Show

For years a certain boy wizard went to Wizard School. This, however, is not his story. This is the story of the Puffs...who just happened to be there too. A play for anyone who has never been destined to save the world.

'Puffs, or: Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic & Magic' is a Potter-inspired comedy for anyone who has ever felt like a secondary character in someone else’s story. The play gives you a fresh look at a familiar adventure from the perspective of three new heroes just trying to make it through magic school. Alongside them are the Puffs, a group of well-meaning, loyal rejects with a thing for badgers. Their epic journey takes the classic story to new places and reimagines what a boy wizard hero can be.

Clever, Funny, Quirky

See it if you can't afford to see Cursed Child. This is really fun, too.

Don't see it if you don't like the Harry Potter series or know it very little.

Funny, Entertaining, Delightful

See it if You love Potter, if you want a peek at the students who don't have enormous destiny. Funny with just enough winks at the source material

Don't see it if It doesn't take itself very seriously and thus the story is kind of threadbare.

Mostly--but not only--for potter fans.

See it if you wake up every morning humming "I'm Just Wild About Harry" because you still can't get enough of Harry Potter and all things Hogwarts.

Don't see it if 7 novels and 8 movies are, in your opinion, more than enough--and you don't care a whit about Harry's lesser-known classmates. Read more
