The award-winning musical comedy where YOU play God...
An original musical comedy where the audience are invited to the recording of everyone’s favourite reality TV show to decide the fate of a recently deceased contestant.
Three actors take on over 20 roles and sing some of the catchiest original musical numbers around, with two possible endings chosen by the audience every night. Heaven or Hell? You decide!
​
The show won multiple awards at the Reading Fringe Festival, including best original song, before transferring to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2013.
First performance: 2010
