Hong Kong’s heralded live entertainment venue, Maggie Choo’s, is set to debut an ambitious new cabaret show, What Maggie Wants, this November. Building on the success of its inaugural cabaret offering launched in March 2025, the new production promises an electrifying blend of high-energy choreography, live soulful jazz, and spectacular acrobatic feats, solidifying the venue’s standing as a cornerstone of the city’s nightlife.
Elevating the Live Entertainment Experience
Departing from traditional narrative structures, What Maggie Wants features an exhilarating medley of 12 distinct dance numbers organized into three acts, prioritizing dynamic visual and auditory impact over a continuous plotline. This fresh format is designed to keep audiences captivated with a seamless transition between theatrical routines.
Patrons can anticipate a diverse line-up of performances, ranging from breathtaking aerial maneuvers and classic rhythmic tap dancing to intimate, sensual routines. Notably, the show incorporates an element of audience participation during the highly anticipated chair-dancing segment titled ‘Partition,’ inviting receptive guests to share the stage with the professional performers.
A crucial component of the experience is the sophisticated live music. The choreography is set against an original score specially crafted by Maggie Choo’s in-house entertainment production team. This background score is steeped in soulful jazz and swing elements, evoking a touch of satisfying nostalgia while maintaining a contemporary, energetic feel.
Refreshed Menu: Cocktails Inspired by the Acts
To complement the revamped show, Maggie Choo’s is introducing an upgraded beverage menu featuring signature cocktails and zero-proof mocktails. Each drink is carefully curated and named after an act within What Maggie Wants, adding an immersive layer to the evening.
Highlights from the new libation list include the Inheriting Only, a deeply flavorful rum-based concoction, and the Entertainer, a sleek vodka-based selection. For those seeking non-alcoholic options, the venue offers the Entrepreneurial Spirit, a sophisticated zero-ABV choice.
