Does nervousness literally give you cold feet? Can a blow dart find its target underwater? What happens when you shoot a wheel of cheese out of a cannon? Answers to all of these questions and more can be found at the "MythBusters: Jamie & Adam Unleashed!" traveling show.
Based on the Emmy-nominated Discovery Channel TV show, this interactive experience is currently traveling to North American venues, bringing along its quirky blend of scientific experimentation and modern mysteries. On Sunday, the duo of Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage will be performing at the Murat Theatre at Old National Centre in Indianapolis.
For 13 seasons, "MythBusters" has been a highly regarded program by both the viewing population and the scientific community. Beginning in 2003, the show has followed its two lead scientists and innovators, Hyneman and Savage, as they attempt to discover the truths behind commonly accepted urban legends and myths. By blending the scientific method with a fresh, fun perspective, the show has secured high ratings, as well as praise for encouraging many young people to pursue scientific discovery.
On the road, Hyneman and Savage incorporate many aspects of their TV series into their live shows, including their popular season regular, crash-test dummy Buster. "Unleashed!" presents an evening of behind-the-scenes stories and videos, real on-stage experiments and interaction with fans of all ages.
During the show, audience members are picked at random to assist in testing myths and participate in many entertaining experiments. VIP tickets can also be purchased for the opportunity to meet and take pictures with Hyneman and Savage after the show.
This "Unleashed!" tour also marks Hyneman's "farewell tour" as he has recently announced that he will no longer participate in the live shows, making this one of the last opportunities to see this charismatic twosome live in action.
Tickets for the April 19 7:30 p.m. Indianapolis show are currently still on sale for an evening of laughter, answers to crazy questions and experiencing the methods of science in an entirely new way.
