PUFFS Now On Sale Through March 15th, Plus Return to Australia

PUFFS or: Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic & Magic, New York's long-running hit comedy, will continue its record-breaking run at New World Stages (340 West 50th Street) with a new block of tickets now on sale through March 15, 2020. Puffs marked its 750th show Off Broadway earlier this year. As its international profile and audience response has exploded, Puffs will also return to Australia with its premiere in Sydney starting on May 17. Last year, the show's Australian debut - the first-ever global expansion for Puffs - made history by becoming Melbourne's longest running play of the last century. From its origins at the Peoples Improv Theater in 2015 to its official Off-Broadway opening at the Elektra Theater in 2016, and now entertaining over 100,000 audience members worldwide, Puffs continues its remarkable journey.

In addition, the Off-Broadway production of Puffs recently welcomed new cast members Chrissy Albanese as Sally/Others, Keith Rubin as Cedric/Voldy, and Ryan Wesley Stinnett as Narrator.

Del Rey Books will publish Puffs: The Essential Companion, the official behind-the-scenes companion to the show, on November 5. This illustrated guide includes a full script of the play annotated with insights from creator Matt Cox, and a wealth of material including interviews with cast and crew, production photos and designs, deleted and alternate scenes, and much more. Puffs: Filmed Live Off Broadway, which originally premiered with a two-day national screening from Fathom Events, is available on iTunes, Amazon and other digital platforms. It can also be streamed via BroadwayHD, which marks the first time in theatrical history a show can be seen online while simultaneously running in New York. The play is available for licensing, and the script is available for purchase.
