| - My review is WAY overdue. I was able to come for free thanks to an awesome comp by Edwin P. Thanks Edwin! I had been anxiously awaiting the opening and was intrigued by the concept, a social experiment. Hmmm.
My friend and I scored two tickets to the 10:00 pm canto. As other Yelpers have mentioned, there are three cantos or acts. One at 8, then 10 and another at midnight. They supposedly get more risqué as the night progresses. I had an idea of what to expect, I figured it'd be a mix between Absinthe and The Act (neither of which I've seen btw). Anyway, we we're let in a little early and hung out near the bar area taking it all in. The bar is decorated super nice, it had a vintage, Gatsby feel to it, with a modern edge. There was a quartet at the entrance playing a mix of smooth jazz and modern favorites. A girl that closely resembled Janelle Monae was signing, damn could she sing. From there they took the party into the next room and we were met by a woman swinging from the ceiling and a bunch of attractive men hanging around her. They performed for a while, while mingling with the guests until we're were all directed into the theater next door.
My friend and I both bought a drink, I cannot recall what they were called buy mine had bourbon and it was delish. I didn't think the hardware was all that, honestly. We took our seats and after about ten minutes were moved up to the front, SCORE! I will interject at this point to inform you that the seats we originally had cost $127, and the seats at the front cost $170ish. Holy crap that's pretty expensive. Nonetheless, the seats were amazing. The performers were literally right in front of us, within 2-5 feet of us. All of ten performances were mesmerizing and funny. All the performers interacted with the people throughout the performance. No one particular act was my favorite, they were all unique. There was the sex bunny chick that did awesome things with feathers and her body, the weird dragon guy who is apparently really famous with his poor Chihuahua (Piff the Mahon dragon, is he?). There was a hot, sexy beast of a man that played around in a bathtub splashing us with water (luckily they provided us with a shower curtain to put over us lol).
Afterwards we headed to the bar to have another drink. The same performers from the show were hanging out and interacting with the public. This is why you pay so much for the tickets, because they keep on entertaining you throughout the night., the constant entertainment goes into the price of the ticket. Social experiment aptly describes Rose.Rabbit. Lie. It is a restaurant, bar, performance space, live show, cabaret and everything in between. Simply put its genius. I've heard stories from different people that have gone and it seems like everyone has a different experience. I am particularly envious of the experiences of Robin Leach and the like, who have had private dances and invitations to secret rooms. Alas, I will have to become a regular to find out more. Lucky me ;)
