Who Wants to Be...? is the dangerously spontaneous, democratic theatre experience where the audience makes up the questions, conjures up the answers, and even sets the rules!
People propose ideas, argue, and then vote on how to spend the entire evenings box-office takings.
Gamble it?
Donate it?
Invest it?
Waste it?
The audience decides!
Marvel as people’s wildest ideas materialise instantly on a giant screen, wait with baited breath as the votes come in live. And if you don’t like the game, you can vote to change the rules. Previous audiences have come close to sacking the host and putting the money behind the theatre bar. But whatever the outcome - your terms and conditions apply.
Who Wants to Be? was inspired by the ’ask the audience’ feature of the popular TV game show. In asking the audience to set the questions, provide the answers and decide what the rules are, Who Wants to Be? gives people an insight into the possibilities of their collective imagination.
One previous Who Wants to Be...? audience decided to collectively purchase and own a woodland in Wales. Another voted to commission a ’democracy bench’ for a London park, narrowly beating the second favourite idea: to make a guiness record attempt for baking the world’s biggest crumpet.
At Who Wants to Be...? at Wunderbar, anything can happen, and it probably will.
