Absinthe!

Wow! Tonight the BF and I went with a small group of friends to see Absinthe down by the South Street Seaport. It was basically a very English Cirque de Soleil with a little less glitz and a lot more humor and skin. The setting's an intimate, little tent with a bar. We were well seated with an excellent view in a booth next to the bar. I wouldn't have expected to like a show which is so circusy, but I really loved it. From the first pair who balanced on one another, I was in awe. During the trapeze act I was so mesmerized I forgot to applaud, though she surely deserved it. I was just amazed that bodies can do what these performers made them do! It was a seriously good show... somewhat tacky and tasteless, but seriously good. If you get the chance, get your ass down there and see this show!
