Spectacle of Spectacles: The Clairvoyant Cabaret

Spectacle of Spectacles: The Clairvoyant Cabaret, written and directed by Deirdre Broderick, is a musical variety show about mystic vaudeville. A traveling clairvoyant show has hit a snag and must replace its star, a celebrity psychic. The show depicts the auditions and manipulations as three aspirants who bare their psychic souls and struggle to fill the bill.

The score ranges from broad Gilbert and Sullivan pastiche to Country to Rocky Horror-styled Rock; the action includes a seance and feats of mental bravura like reading somebody’s past from a personal object. There is audience interaction.
