PUFFS the Play

It has sparked a cult following across the world and now the smash hit comedy PUFFS The Play is coming to Brisbane Powerhouse for a short season from Aug 23 to Sep 15.

Step into the world of magical misfits as TEG Live, in association with Tilted Windmills Theatricals, John Arthur Pinckard & David Carpenter bring PUFFS or: Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic & Magic to magical life on stage.

For seven years a certain boy wizard went to Wizard School, however, this is not his story. This is the story of the Puffs, a lovable group of misfits, who just happened to be there too. PUFFS The Play offers a fresh look at the familiar tale of a Certain Boy Wizard from the perspective of three new heroes just trying to make it through Wizard School. 

When PUFFS debuted in New York in 2015, it was celebrated as “a tremendous comedic feast” by The New York Theatre Review.  Nerdist commented that PUFFS “never goes more than a minute without a laugh!”, and the show was praised by The Huffington Post for its “rip-roaring staging, wit and delightful theatrical craft.” 

Australian audiences and critics were overwhelmingly united in their response with PUFFS opening to rave reviews and 5 Star praise from all those who experienced its hilarity. Its record breaking 12-week run saw PUFFS awarded the title of the longest running play in Melbourne for the past 48 years!

Nice to know - With its irreverent humour, PUFFS’ evening shows are best suited to older wizard loving audiences, from mid-teens to adults.  On weekend matinees the show has been lightly transfigured so that wizards aged 8 and above can share in the magic of PUFFS, and parents can relax knowing their kids won't learn any new curses, with Family Tickets priced at just $129.

Need to know - PUFFS makes its Brisbane premiere at Brisbane Powerhouse on Thursday 29 August 2019 and will run until Sunday 15 September 2019, with previews commencing Friday 23 August 2019. * All Previews $39.90; General Tickets from $49.90; Groups 4+ from $159.00.
