This show was such a blessing! We transferred to one of the best Off-Broadway theaters in New York and were seen in theaters across the country via Fathom Events. After a long sold-out run at the PIT and then 10 months at The Elektra, it really was been a magical ride. If you love Mr. Potter and his wacky adventures, I know you'll love this show.

"Moon and Belton are dynamic comic leads that wring every laugh from their fish-out-of-water characters."
Entertainment Weekly
"Puffs feels engineered specifically to delight Harry Potter diehards, and for the most part it succeeds...even if this venture is not the bravest or the smartest, its heart is firmly in the right place, and audiences will likely leave charmed. "

"But by plays end, you’ll find yourself caring much more for Wayne and his friends than you thought you would. Maybe you didn’t grow up with them like Harry, but the Puffs are so lovable and relatable, you’ll leave the theater wishing they were in the stories all along."
