DENVER, April 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The highly
acclaimed and rollicking hit comedy is about to get the big-screen
treatment when "Puffs: Filmed Live Off Broadway" comes to
U.S. cinemas for a two-day event this May. For seven 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 tale for anyone who has never been destined to save
the world.
At the request from fans all over the world, "Puffs: Filmed
Live Off Broadway" was captured in front of a live audience.
Shot over two performances in February
2018 during the show's unstoppable open-ended run at New
World Stages, moviegoers will experience the stage production in a
whole new way on the big screen. Audiences can expect the
unexpected, including close-up shots, multiple angles and an
exclusive look behind the curtain of this clever and inventive
play.
Tickets for "Puffs: Filmed Live Off
Broadway" can be purchased beginning Friday, April 6 at www.FathomEvents.com or
participating theater box offices.
Fathom Events and Tilted Windmills Theatricals partner to
present "Puffs: Filmed Live Off Broadway" in more than 600
U.S. cinemas on Wednesday, May 9 at
7:00 p.m. and Saturday, May 12 at 12:55
p.m. (all local times), through Fathom's Digital Broadcast
Network (DBN). For a complete list of theater locations, visit the
Fathom Events website (theaters and participants are

The New York Times proclaimed
"Puffs" as, "A FAST-PACED ROMP through the 'Seven Increasingly
Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic.' For
POTTERphiliacs who grew up alongside Potter and are eager to
revisit that world, 'Puffs' exudes a jovial, winking fondness for
all things Harry!"
Produced by Tilted Windmills Theatricals' two-time Tony
Award® winner John Arthur
Pinckard and Broadway veteran David Carpenter, "Puffs" is a
Potter-inspired comedy for anyone who has ever felt like a
secondary character in someone else's story. The play gives
audiences a new look at a familiar adventure from the perspective
of three new heroes just trying to make it through magic
school.
"This epic secondary storyline, imagined from one of the world's
most famous wizarding sagas, has maintained its popularity with
fans for years," Fathom Events Chief Content and Programming
Officer Gordon Synn said.
"'Puffs: Filmed Live Off Broadway' now offers those fans a
unique new way to experience this hilarious twist on a classic
story, proving that underdogs can be the heroes."
"Our fans have meant the world to us since the very beginning of
the production and every week we continue to delight audiences in
New York," said David Carpenter, Producer. "This incredible
partnership with Fathom will allow us to bring the magic of the
show and our incredible cast to our fans across the country and
invite whole new audiences to experience the joy that is
Puffs."
