Reflecting on ‘Zumanity,’ so much more than a Las Vegas show

Las Vegas Weekly: “People say the craziest things to me. One woman from somewhere in the Midwest sent me a message years ago, saying our show completely changed her sexually,” says Christopher Kenney, who created the emcee drag character of Edie and portrayed the “Mistress of Sensuality” in Cirque du Soleil’s Zumanity for more than 12 years. “She always felt like she had to be a certain kind of woman, or no man would find her attractive. She was incredibly insecure, and something about Zumanity made her feel sexy. … She said she was having more sex and was happier than she’d ever been in her life. And that’s so wonderful.”
