WILD KRATTS – LIVE is a theatrical stage show based on the hit animated television series, Wild Kratts. Martin and Chris Kratt, stars of the Emmy-nominated Wild Kratts, step out live on stage to engage the audience in a classic Wild Kratts story! Martin and Chris are sure to keep you entertained as they activate some fan favorite Creature Power Suits and go "Off to the Creature Rescue!"

With the help of the Wild Kratts team – and their audience members – the Kratt Brothers confront a comic villain and help bring the creatures of the animal world to safety once again! Experience, live on stage, the astounding "creature" fundamentals, and the infectious excitement and inspiring quest of the Kratt Brothers that make the hit television series Wild Kratts so popular with kids and their families. 

Brothers, Chris Kratt and Martin Kratt, zoologists by training, have built a family entertainment brand based on their enthusiasm for animals and their wild popularity with a family audience. Since founding their production company Kratt Bros. Co. in 1993, they have created and executive produced over 200 episodes of four successful television series: Kratts' Creatures, Zoboomafoo with the Kratt Brothers, Kratt Bros. Be The Creature, and Wild Kratts. They star in these programs playing themselves and also perform as directors, scriptwriters, authors, and wildlife cinematographers –ever in the pursuit of "creative adventure".
