You love the Netflix show. Now get ready for ‘Money Heist: The Experience’ in Miami
Hey, fans of the Netflix hit show “Money Heist,” a new Miami event looks tailor-made for you.
“Money Heist: The Experience,” at the historic Alfred I. duPont Building downtown, is opening this weekend. It will run Thursdays through Sundays until Dec. 30.
Yes, the global hit show, known as “La Casa de Papel,” is now an experience, in which you can channel one of the gang members in their freaky, signature masks. Test your crime skills; e.g., planning a robbery, evading security and cracking codes, in case you may need them IRL (in real life) one day.
Set in Madrid, the Spanish language fave follows a group of wannabe robbers with exotic aliases who are led by a mysterious man known as “The Professor.” One of their grand plans is to break into the Royal Mint of Spain and print out roughly $1 billion while fending off cops and taking hostages.
The local “high-energy theatrical event” has the perfect dramatic setting: Inside the iconic art deco building’s 6,500-square-foot ballroom, which happens to have a 2,000-square-foot bank vault, secured with a 50,000 pound door.
“Audiences will relive the duPont Building’s storied history as a bank,” says Gary Ressler, the building’s owner, “offering an only-in-Miami experience that will thrust guests into an epic adventure and bring even more activity to Miami’s Flagler Street district.”
