Grab your aviators and your tiny little umbrellas because the Squad is back, and this time they’re doing it live!
It’s 1988. New York City. A team of dangerous criminals is attempting to pull off the biggest heist in history. Lives at stake and millions in cash on the line, only one thing can stop them: You!
Welcome to the Viper Squad! An elite team called in to handle only the most extreme circumstances. Choose your weapons. Gather valuable intelligence. Negotiate with dangerous criminals. Can your squad be the ultimate crime-stopping heroes? Think you’ve got what it takes? Welcome to the party!
Viper Squad is an immersive-theatre action-adventure and loving homage to 1980s action film and television classics. A show where the audience is the hero of the story and where their choices have real impact.
