WOW in the World Presents: Make It WOW!
WOW in the World Presents: Make It WOW! is a fast-paced, science-packed interactive game show designed for the whole family. Hosted by Mindy Thomas of the *Wow in the World* podcast and Carly Q. Ciarrocchi of *Who, When, Wow: Mystery Edition*, the show pits two teams of Wowzer contestants against each other as they—with help from the live audience—turn their wildest and weirdest ideas into jaw-dropping inventions. The performance is filled with trivia, challenges, music, laughs, and creativity that will keep families tinkering together long after the show ends. Special appearances include Dennis, Gramma G‑Force, and Thomas Fingerling, with live musical performances by The Pop Ups. (Guy Raz will not appear at this performance.) Recommended for ages 5 and older, the run time is 90 minutes including intermission.
