Back in December, we reported about Puffs, a play at NYC’s People’s Improv Theater about Harry’s years at Hogwarts told through the eyes of his Hufflepuff classmates.

Fans have responded to the play as positively as we have, and made the show into a resounding success. Puffs was originally meant to run for a month or so – a blip on NYC’s theatre landscape. But after constantly selling out and being extended month after month, the show will play its final performance at the PIT this Thursday, August 4, and this writer will be in attendance for the fourth time!

But fans who either have yet to see the show, or want to see it again and again, need not despair! It was announced yesterday that Puffs is moving uptown this fall to an off-Broadway theater – the Elektra Theater, which has carved out a niche of hosting parody shows. With a seating capacity of 199, double the PIT’s, the Elektra will be better equipped to handle the demand for Harry Potter shows as the fandom kicks into high gear with the release of Fantastic Beasts.

Puffs will start previews at its new home on September 29, with an official opening on October 20. It’s slated to run only through December 30, but this show has quite the history of not closing when it’s supposed to.

Puffs will now be performed on a regular schedule thrice a week: Thursdays at 7:30, Fridays at 9:30, and Saturdays at 9:30. Because the show’s been a runaway hit, and because off-Broadway is fancier than the PIT, ticket prices will see quite a jump: regular seats will be $40 to $50, premium seats will be $75.

The entire cast is expected to remain with the production. Puffs is written by Matt Cox and directed by Kristin McCarthy Parker. The official show description reads:

“Some people are born with the capacity to do great things. Some people change the world. Some people rise from humble beginnings to defeat the forces of darkness in the face of insurmountable odds. PUFFS is the story of the people who sit in class next to those people.

Meet Wayne, a very average boy from New Mexico, who finds out he is a wizard… also, wizards are real. Join him and his new friends as they try to keep their heads down and get a basic wizarding education while a certain other famous boy with a very peculiarly shaped scar on his forehead sets out to make life at school increasingly… eventful.”

Did you get a chance to see Puffs at the PIT? And do you plan on seeing them at the Elektra Theater this fall? We do, Hufflepuff robes on and all!
