ABSINTHE by Spiegelworld to Tour Australia in 2015
Following the hugely successful 2013/2014 Australian tour of EMPIRE by Spiegelworld, it was announced today that Spiegelworld will be bringing its smash-hit Las Vegas show ABSINTHE to Australia in 2015. The national tour of ABSINTHE by Spiegelworld will be presented by Nine Live and will open in Newcastle on February 17 2015, followed by seasons in Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Sydney with other dates to be announced.
Inspired by the absinthe-drenched cabarets of late 19th century Europe and presented in a 700-seat antique spiegeltent, furnished with beveled mirrors, plush velvet seating booths and a well stocked bar, ABSINTHE is an adult-themed cocktail of circus, burlesque and vaudeville for a 21st century audience, hosted by the outrageous Gazillionaire and his side-kick Penny. The Australian tour of ABSINTHE will feature several of the outstanding acts currently featured in the Las Vegas production with some additional new surprises.
The thriving Las Vegas residency of ABSINTHE commenced in 2011, playing on the forecourt of Caesars Palace following several summer seasons in Spiegelworld's iconic spiegeltent in New York City. Now in its fourth sold-out year, the production has been hailed as "the most inventive and daring show to open on the strip in years!" (Las Vegas Sun), and was announced the "Best Show in Vegas" by Vegas Seven Magazine.
