| - So we were originally planning on seeing Zumanity because we wanted to check out a good adult-themed show during our honeymoon that wasn't some corny topless faire straight out of Showgirls or a bunch of puffed-up meatheads who can't dance. But upon reading reviews, while many were very good, we saw quite a bit of "no, no, no, go see Absinthe, way better!" And that being said...I think we were both quite satisfied by listening and getting the Absinthe tickets. It's one of the funniest and most amazing shows I've ever been to.
We got normal reserved tickets with a $20/ticket discount and we didn't need to be closer because even there the action happens mere feet in front of you anyway. We had a perfect view. The stunts were absolutely outstanding from the chair-stacking guy to the burlesque, both male stunt teams (the four guys and the bodyguard duo), the intentionally bad sexual-themed ballet duo and the rope and trapeze acts. The tightrope trio was also unreal and they have to quiet the crowd during one section for a reason - it's quite a scary stunt to perform in such a confined area. But everything went off to perfection.
The Gazillionaire and Penny are beyond hilarious. All of their jokes as anti-PC as it gets, with racist, sexual and Republican jokes going rapid-fire. If you're easily offended, don't bother coming or whining about it on here, because all you're doing is ruining it for the rest of us who simply don't care and want to see some shocking laughs. Penny does a sock puppet routine that had people almost falling out of their chairs and the Gazillionaire occasionally interrupting acts to make fun of them was also a fun add-on.
We were both so happy that we chose Absinthe as our only show for our honeymoon. Well worth the money and we left extremely happy for the rest of the night. I'm pretty sure we'll see it again on our next trip.
