Wowowee is making it's first international stop in Winnipeg's MTS Centre.

Wowowee is coming to Winnipeg. If you're saying "Wowow-what?", it means you may not be familiar with the hugely popular game show in the The Philippines.

The move may be because Winnipeg has one of the largest Filipino communities in North America.

The show is unlike any American game show that's on television right now. It features a lot of dancing, colourful outfits, and what you may think are bizarre contests.

But of course, it wouldn't be a game show without some big prizes.

Evelyn Glenn lives in Winnipeg and is a big fan of Wowowee.

Before the show decided to travel abroad, she could only watch it on her satellite TV.

She'll be in the dancing audience when the show begins at the MTS Centre on Sept. 28

"This is a chance to be a part of the history of Wowowee in Canada and it's here in Winnipeg," she told CTV's Jon Hendricks. "So i'm excited and I look forward to it."

Glenn and other Winnipeg audience members in will have a chance to win prizes such as cars, cash and computers.

And they'll also see a rising music star: 16-year-old singer Sha-reese.

"She got her start in a singing contest in the Philippines, but she didn't win," explained Wowowee Winnipeg promoter Lala Aunor. "She was only discovered on youtube."

Ellen Degeneres invited her on her show, and so has Oprah Winfrey, where she has performed with Celine Dion.

"Maybe [the show] will last for 2 to 3 hours," predicts Aunor.
