This is one of those things that I SWEAR I wrote a review for..... but I guess not. My second experience with Absinthe is the one I'll review, since I was actually sober for it....
The acts are pretty amazing. They do a lot with a tiny bit of stage space! There's roller skating, tightrope, trapeze, and some silliness as well. Then there's the gorgeous singing fairy... rowr!
This show was a "6 star" review for me the first time I saw it... but in the harsh light of sobriety, I could see the flaws. The "witty banter" between the hosts is straight off a script and gets stale fast. The audience interactions can be strained if there are jerks or a lame crowd. And the seats are hella uncomfortable.
But still. It is a fantastic show, and definitely worth seeing. Just make sure you get a good locals deal!
