“Odd Squad Live!” is an interactive, laugh-out-loud adventure in which audience members get to participate in solving a seriously strange case. When villains turn agents Orion and Oleanna into grown-ups, it’s up to the kids in the audience to use their math skills and help the agents decode, decipher and unravel clues. With a little help from Ms. O back at headquarters, the agents and the audience work together to save the day.

The side-splitting humor and oddly irresistible fun that earned the “Odd Squad” writing team a 2016 Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing in a Children’s Series will burst onto the stage in this action-packed, educational and hilarious live show. “Odd Squad Live!” is filled with amazing gadgets, the quirkiest villains and catchy hit songs from the band Soundcheck.
