She has done a few movies in Hong Kong during her show business career, but is more well-known as a popular singer. It’s time to educate the Hong Kong audience on what Burlesque is really about.Paula Tsui was born on Januin Wuhan, Hubei, China. And with this space, I would give the Vixens a home to perform in whenever they wanted. I would build a café with a proper theatre stage with little to no restrictions as to how late you stay because art doesn’t stop at midnight. It’s very unfortunate that space is so limited in Hong Kong. If you could change one thing about the arts scene in HK, what would it be?

#Paula tsui before the next teardrop falls movie#
My dream project is to star in a biographical movie about Cantopop diva Paula Tsui. Commit to your performance and don’t apologize! Being a burlesque performer you’re either a sex goddess on stage or you’re a bumbling fool (on purpose or not - oops!). I remember my mentor telling me that a well-rounded artist is one who never apologizes and so I try to live by that. In the end, it should be an outcome that I can be proud of and most importantly, my director should be proud of. It’s an open process where everyone can input ideas, drawing on pop culture and past productions of a piece. I’d go into any project ready to learn from my peers. Nevertheless, here are two of my latest works: It’s hard to say which piece of work I’m most proud of as each piece represents a unique part of me. What piece of work are you the most proud of? I’ve never seen slapstick, satirical comedy performed so perfectly in Hong Kong before or since.ħ. It’s an absurdist comedy written by Szeto Wai Kin, a local playwright. I think the best show I’ve ever seen in HK was the original production by Chung Ying Theatre Company – Last Bet of My Dead Aunt《 頭注香》2006. What was the best show in HK you EVER saw? (You cannot say your own.) Honestly, if you’ve ever been to The Globe to see any Shakespeare production while standing for 3 hours straight, you’ll be blown away.Ħ. Twelfth Night at The Globe with Mark Rylance and Stephen Fry. My golden rule is: “if my routine did not dazzle you, here are my tits!” You’re bound to get some sort of reaction from the audience. That’s why I fell in love with Burlesque it’s sexy and funny.

So much of it depends on the audience's reaction and if they don’t laugh, I’ve failed. However, I’m a nervous wreck when I’m doing a comedy. I love comedies anything that gets me laughing. What is your favorite style of theatre? Why? McMaster University and Central Academy of Drama Beijing.Ĥ. For me, acting was a great way to escape all those pressures, break out of the shy barrier and thus discover myself. I’m from a typical Chinese Canadian family where I was expected to be a lawyer or a doctor. How does where you were raised affect your work?Īlthough I was born in Toronto, I’ve lived most of my life in Hamilton, Ontario – a city 45 minutes drive from Toronto. And that's saying something in our business.Ģ. Despite growing up as a very shy child, she's one of the least shy people I've ever met. If you meet her once, you fall in love with her dazzling personality, great work ethic and her bravery as a performer. You can catch her next month in Vixens Burlesque's next cabaret project, The Christmas Extravaganza. You might have seen her in Jonathan Rand's, Check Please as part of Aurora Theatre's Champagne & Cigarettes back in September.
