Harry M. Howie Welcomes OPIUM Cast To The Cosmopolitan Of Las Vegas

The cast of Las Vegas' most anticipated new show, OPIUM by Spiegelworld arrived at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas today in an over-the-top ceremony complete with eccentric space helmets, psychedelic capes, tribal drums, tin foil and plenty of confetti. Creators of the hit show ABSINTHE will begin pre-launch training with the cast of comic performers and musicians from across the galaxy ahead of preview performances beginning March 13 in the OPIUM Theatre adjacent to Rose. Rabbit. Lie. Tickets are on sale now for performances through Sept. 9, and can be purchased at Spiegelworld.com.

"After months of planning, it was bloody exciting to welcome the cast of OPIUM to The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas today," said Harry M. Howie, veteran Australian theatrical promoter, numerologist and freelance newspaper columnist. "They have been picking up the same cosmic messages I have been following and today's event marks the beginning of a creative process where we hope to make Las Vegas' most Las Veg-iest show." Howie has been the public spokesperson for OPIUM since the project was first announced by Spiegelworld in December.

One of the artists answering Harry M. Howie's call was internationally-renowned costume designer Machine Dazzle, who created the costumes for today's arrival ceremony, which surprised guests on The Cosmopolitan's casino floor.

"I told Mr. Dazzle I wanted to create a press event that would rival anything that South Korea may cobble together for tomorrow's 2018 Winter Olympics opening ceremony. And he delivered. Who would have thought you could do so much with a car trunk full of cardboard, shower curtains and 3000 plastic spoons?"

WHAT IS OPIUM?

Journey on a trip to a new dimension of entertainment with OPIUM, the new show at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas from the creators of ABSINTHE. What is OPIUM? It's fast, funny and funky. Completely off the planet. Remember the good old days when you sauntered into a Las Vegas showroom, martini in hand, while a pack of comedians and crooners bantered in front of the house band? Even if you do, one thing's for certain: it didn't look like this. Slip through the crack in the space/time continuum for a close encounter with a spaceship of fools.
