I'd heard good things about Absinthe, but after a friend who's opinion I value highly raved about it, I decided it was time to see it. It was even better than I'd heard and it's a show that I'll be back to see again ASAP.
The tent itself is amazing! I've walked past the tent many times and not thought much about it from the outside; the inside is like an entirely separate world that's got something to look at in every direction. It's small enough that there really isn't a bad seat in the house.
The humor is amazingly twisted and it's really not a show for everybody; if you are easily offended, there is a very real chance you will experience moments of panic and absolute mortification. If you can appreciate a quick wit, you will love this show for everything that Gaz and Penny are not afraid to say.
The acts themselves are ridiculously impressive. As a former student of gymnastics and aerial arts, I was seriously impressed at the level of performers they had in such a small, intimate show. The acts themselves are an amazing balance between intimate and technical, each breath-taking in different ways.
This is without a doubt, my new favorite show in Las Vegas.
