Preview-The Christmas Extravaganza-Vixens Burlesque

HKELD sat down with the cast of The Vixens present: The Christmas Extravaganza to talk about the art of burlesque and their upcoming holiday themed cabaret show. Enjoy!
Vixens Burlesque started back in 2009 when a local performer, Luci Furr, spotted a pluggable gap for female friendly adult entertainment in Hong Kong. Drawing unto herself like minded consenting (mostly female) adults wanting to spice it up a bit, the group has swelled with devotees dedicated to preserving and enhancing the art of burlesque in Hong Kong.
So what exactly is 'burlesque' and what makes it so special? Ok, so the girls have sexy stage names and like to go naked with a lot of hip-wiggling. Is that, er, it?
"Burlesque is more than stripping," says Vixen voluptuous Pussy Galore. "I did my thesis on it in college. It's a combination of satire with political comedy. They only added the naked girls to the end of the show in the thirties to sell tickets. It's the perfect example of how you can make all the fancy art you want but it doesn't matter if no one sees it."
Making sure they get seen is something the Vixens seem good at. The Vixens: Christmas Extravaganza is the second full length cabaret the girls have taken on. Last spring's Snow and the Deadly Seven sold out and was a smash-hit success. "We wanted to do something bigger and better," purrs Vixen vamp Holly Delight-me.
Bigger than seven dwarves on stage shouldn't be so difficult - so what exactly is bigger this time round?
Written by HKELD's own editor Meaghan McGurgan, the script tells the story of Candy Cane who loses all her Christmas spirit thanks to an evil scrooge of a boss. "It's basically all the holiday movies you loved as a kid, just really fucked up." says McGurgan. "DO NOT bring the kiddies. It's a show that both girls and boys will enjoy as long as they enjoy a good penis joke. It's filthy but in a classy way!"
So it's classy fucked up fun for adults with no clothes on?
McGurgan again: "People naturally assume Burlesque is less legitimate as an art form strictly based on the fact that it has nudity in it. But these girls sing, dance, act and have to take their clothes off on top of that. It's a world premiere play that I'm very proud to have written for the girls. I've come to respect Burlesque as an art a lot by working with them."
Be warned, it's not just girls on stage. There’s also boylesquers (men who perform in burlesque shows) for ladies in the audience looking for a Christmas treat. They’ve got pretty whacky names too - Baron von Munchoften, Chuck Fuzzynuts, Roger me More, Myron Mojo and Maximus Brock will join the girls in various guises. There's a surprise mystery guest appearance in Act 2. And a male member-director, David Tobin, who gets it on stage to go with.
“This show is a one of a kind Christmas treat that doesn't happen every year” says David when asked what makes the show special. “It features brand new songs and dances never seen before and new cast members making their
What else makes it special? It’s for charity. Proceeds from ticket sales (most) and raffle tickets (all) will be going to the UBS Seminary and Orphanage in
Putting it more succinctly, cast member C.C. Frost adds, "Come see some tits and ass while supporting a good cause" - who can argue with that logic?
Presented at Bisous in the
