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.
Also Cho, has already announced a two-week extension of her hit show, The Sensuous Woman, since ticket sales has resulted in the show being extended through November 3rd. Created by and starring comedian Margaret Cho, The Sensuous Woman is a raucous, outrageous and funny night of comedy, music and dance that celebrates the female body and features a supporting cast of renowned burlesque stars and established and emerging comedians.
