Before opening, The Sensuous Woman, Margaret Cho's new burlesque-style variety show, has announced a two-week extension at off-Broadway's Zipper Theatre. Originally a four-week limited engagement through October 20, the show has been extended through November 3. The Sensuous Woman began previews on September 26 and is set to open on October 6, directed by Randall Raspine.
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.
Featured performers in The Sensuous Woman include Los Angeles bellydance and burlesque sensation Princess Farhana, emerging transgendered comic Ian Harvie, the ingenious burlesque performer Selene Luna, comic actor Liam Sullivan as internet rock-star Kelly, internationally acclaimed dancer and choreographer Ryan Heffington, New York downtown favorite Miss Dirty Martini, and sketch comedians Diana Yanez and Kurt Hall of the Gay Mafia Comedy Troupe of West Hollywood.
