The Singing Psychic Game Show
Glint of Light LtdāTom Hendry Warehouse
The titular Singing Psychic kicks off her unique musical psychic readings by showing off local knowledge, linking Winnipeg to hit pop song references from across the 20th century. She carries this bit across the show, which primarily features dance-along and party games, where audience members, both individually and in groups, score points for their teams that she divided the entire audience into.
The games are interspersed with impressive solo numbers and personal storytelling from the host, who also doles out symbolic prizes and gifts with bespoke song-inspired fortunes. The opening show felt disorganized with the final, appropriately Canadian-themed bingo being especially rushed.
Post-show, The Jenny Revue discovered that, like the one their reviewer was given, many audience members received eerily en pointe readings from the host. Unfortunately there was little time to reveal this to the audience during the performance. Hopefully after the opening-show hiccups are ironed out, future performances will dedicate more time to showcase the singer’s psychic abilities in addition to her musical talents.
