Auckland’s leading theatre for children - presents: Puff the Magic Dragon
Based on the song by Leonard Lipton and Peter Yarrow
Adapted by Tim Bray
Additional songs by Christine White
‘Puff, the Magic Dragon lived by the sea, and frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honalee…”
The song, made famous by the 1960’s folk group Peter, Paul and Mary, is now a magical, fun adventure with that old rascal Puff and little Jackie Paper live on stage. You and your children will love this gorgeous show celebrating friendship, childhood and imagination.
