Details

In this electrifying theatrical spectacle, two brilliant inventors square off in the most famous rivalry of the industrial age. Thomas Edison, a relentless entrepreneur and master showman, faces Nikola Tesla, the visionary dreamer with lightning in his imagination.

Told through striking large-scale puppetry and spectacular special effects—including a live Tesla coil on stage—Tesla vs Edison transforms science into theatrical magic.

Meticulously researched yet playfully irreverent, this is no history lecture. It’s a bold, visually arresting reimagining of the War of the Currents—charged with wit, invention, and moments of unexpected wonder.

Suzi Bass Award-winning and hailed as “a delight for the senses,” Tesla vs Edison returns for a limited engagement.
