Greek Viper

I went in totally blind to this show; and was BLOWN away by the writing, the character work, and the masterful suspense building and emotional connection. I was on the edge of my seat the entire show. It balanced drama and comedy masterfully and the character work was phenomenal.... full review

WOW! What a powerful on the edge of my seat show! Elias had me the moment he walked on stage! His presence was both intimidating and at times freaking hilarious! I literally was on the edge of my seat many times. He COMMANDS your attention on stage and you MUST obey! The twists and turns made my head spin. He is by far one of the most intense and engaging storytellers I have ever had the honor of witnessing live! Cannot wait to see what he does next.... full review

Elias owns the stage. This is one of the best acting performances of the festival. He immerses himself in this character and keeps the audience riveted. The script had a nice build with many twists and turns. They've created a wild cinematic world, looking forward to the movie!... full review

This was the best one man show that I have ever seen. It kept me at the edge of my seat throughout the whole performance. It was very emotional. I was laughing one moment and almost in tears the next moment. Happy or sad. It played with my emotions. I could relate to the characters, the situations and the feelings. Elias did a fantastic job at impersonating the various characters. He made each character so realistic. And such good transition from one character to the next that I could easily follow the story. It had all the elements of romance, suspense, drama, family ties, and Greek culture. Overall, a great story portrayed by a great actor!... full review

High caliber solo performance by a fast rising Hollywood actor. Dynamic & inspiring. See Scoufaras live in Greek Viper before he's on the big screen. Outstanding talent.... full review

Elias Scoufaras' solo performance in "Greek Viper" is a captivating blend of dark humor and profound emotional depth, drawing audiences into the tumultuous life of Johnny, a Greek-Canadian pianist who deals with a lot, including guilty obligations to his Greek family. I was amazed how effortlessly Elias transitioned between characters with rapid-fire narration and emotion. Just Wow! The story involved cultural humor, innocent love, loss of love and the consequences of choices made. Kudos on a fabulous performance!... full review

I saw Greek Viper last week and I’m still thinking about it. Elias was absolutely incredible. His performance blew me away! He transformed into each character so effortlessly, it was like watching a whole cast of people, even though it was just him on stage. He’s truly a phenomenal actor. The story itself had everything including heart, humor, and moments that hit hard. I laughed, I cried, and I was completely hooked the entire time. Everything about it just worked, the acting, the writing, the emotion. I’d see it again in a heartbeat. If you get the chance to catch Greek Viper, don’t miss it. Elias gives a performance you won’t forget.... full review

Elias performs with such passion that you're transported from Hollywood to Broadway. The well-written story, the passion, and the flawless execution make Greek Viper one of the most compelling stage shows that I've seen. Elias morphs from one character in such a way that you leave wondering how that was one person and not a full cast. The original writing combines the humor and levity of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" with the suspense, grit, and sorrow of "A Bronx Tale". In one moment I was laughing with the mom character, and in the next moment I was at the edge of my seat with the mob character. ... full review
