History Trivia / PuffsThePlay

* ActingForTwo: Besides the actors playing Wayne, Oliver, and Megan (who do cameo as Death Buddies at the beginning of sixth year), every actor plays at least one other major character, whether it's Cedric doubling as Mr. Voldy himself or J. Finch-Fletchley doubling as [[AwesomeEgo Zach Smith.]]

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In early drafts, [[spoiler: Wayne was to have come back as a ghost in the [[WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue 19 Years Later scene,]] before it was decided it cheapened the effect of his death in the first place.]]

* ApprovalOfGod: One of the [[BigNameFan big-name fans]] of this show is Chris Rankin - Percy Weasley from [[Film/HarryPotter the movies.]]
** Miriam Margoyles, who played Professor Sprout in the movies, is also a big fan and came to opening night of the Australian production.

** AscendedFanon in that [[spoiler: as of Nineteen-ish Years After, Zach Smith ''is'' a time traveller.]]

* TheRedStapler: After the proshot was released in theaters, there was an uptick in sales of Film/27Dresses.

* WordOfSaintPaul: There's only one contradiction between Puffs and the original series: in the original, Zach Smith doesn't fight in the Battle of Hogwarts. A fan theory, approved by Nick Carrillo, is that he's a time traveller - which actually checks out with many of his improvised monologues.

* HeyItsThatSound: In an early performance, instead of the disappointing foghorn noise when the Puffs lose points, an audio clip was played of Gene Wilder saying [[Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory "You lose!"]]

** The founder of the Snakes gets to come up with a weird yet apt descriptor for who they want to accept into the school. In the proshot, it's "most likely to throw a glass of white wine in your face."

* DuelingWorks: For a while, this show played in New York City at the same time as Theatre/HarryPotterAndTheCursedChild, which not only dealt with the Harry Potter characters, but also featured Cedric Diggory in a prominent role.

* DescendedCreator: For one performance, Matt Cox (the playwright) played Zach Smith. He then reprised the role in a reunion of ''every single Zach Smith'' for the final performance at New World Stages.

* {{Blooper}}: As Zach Smith's monologue is improvised and different every night, {{Corpsing}} from the other actors onstage occurs often. In the proshot, the credits include ''even more Zach Smith monologues.''
