The edge did a great interview with Margaret ChoTony Phillips: I know, now speaking of bad dogs, you’re bringing a little burlesque energy to New York and I have to tell you, we really need it now. It’s sorely lacking.
Margaret Cho: It’s exciting, I can’t wait to get there.
Tony Phillips: I’m excited by your lineup. The burlesque scene in New York is always so the usual suspects, but there are people on your bill I’ve never even heard of. Is this a West Coast joint?
Margaret Cho: It’s new, it’s different and it’s a lot of wild stuff. So I’m really excited. It’s not just burlesque, there’s a lot of comedy and music and dancing. I’m doing a lot of burlesque dancing and we designed the sets just like the Open Your Heart video.
Tony Phillips: That’s fantastic. So how did you find your cast?
Margaret Cho: Most of the people I’ve worked with before on other projects, and also on this show. I mean we’ve been doing this show for over a year now so it’s just about finding those people that I really connect with and getting it together. And so it was like a year of looking at different people and working with different people and now this group is perfect.
