Ivana Wong Teases Fiery Marriage, Leung Calls Hins Over
AM730 · 2 SOURCES1 day ago5 MIN
Summary
Leung Cho-yiu (梁祖堯) and Ivana Wong (王菀之) appeared with the cast of the stage play “Love at Last Sight” at a worship ceremony on October 23, ahead of the production’s run of 21 performances and opening night later that day. The pair used the occasion to discuss the play’s focus on long-married couples and midlife anxieties, while joking about Wong’s own marriage and Leung’s repeated invitations to singer Hins Cheung (張敬軒) to attend. The event also turned into a broader update on their work, including Wong’s new song in the play, her December concert at Freespace in West Kowloon, and Leung’s weight-loss goal before turning 50 on October 30.
Key Points
- The cast, including Leung Cho-yiu, Ivana Wong, Jo Kuk, Lo Chun-yip, Wu Lai-ying and Tong Kim-hong, held a worship ceremony at a studio on October 23 for “Love at Last Sight.”
- am730 reported the production will stage 21 performances, with its first show opening on the evening of October 23 after the noon ceremony.
- Leung said the play starts from the daily life of an older married couple, touches on midlife crisis, and presents those themes through humor for audiences, especially middle-aged viewers.
- Asked whether the script drew on her own marriage, Wong joked that her real married life was “quite fiery,” while adding the dialogue could all be applied to real life.
- Leung said he had already invited Hins Cheung, who usually promises to come but often only sends a flower basket, prompting Leung to publicly say he wanted the singer there in person.
Why It Matters
The publicity event shows how Hong Kong stage productions are being marketed through performers’ personal chemistry, candid interviews and crossover celebrity appeal, not only through the script itself. It also underlines how established artists such as Wong and Leung are linking theatre, new music and live concerts to keep audiences engaged across multiple performance formats in the city.
