That show’s theater abuts the currently latent Rose. On the topic Planet Spiegelworld, a moment of speculation about “Opium” at the Cosmopolitan, expected to return in July. “You can’t have a safer act than that one.” Coincidentally, or not, the act is perfect fit for the current public-gathering climate. Mollison said the, um, distinctive condom-themed act was a collective idea within his creative team. Which to wear is a game-time decision, depending on how Gaz is identifying with his alter-ego each night. And you’ll see that The Gazillionaire alternates masks, from a traditional face covering to his water-bottle designed attachment. That act is on hold for a minor shoulder injury to one of its performers.īusiness-wise, “Absinthe” has sold out all of its shows since returning Wednesday night, at about 170 guests per performance. We also expect the dynamite jugglers (meaning, they are dynamite at juggling, not that they juggle dynamite) from Water On Mars, all to return. Fellow skating act Matt Edmunds and Valentina Bor are likely back this month (in a rarity, the show is currently not running a skating act). The guys will masked, and allowed to perform in the middle of the venue as other acts perform in the center of tent as originally designed.Īlso, skaters Emily and Billy England are on hold while Emily England works out her return from London, where she has spend much of the pandemic shutdown. Expect them back mid-April, at the earliest. We have to make money.”Īmong the acts returning to “Absinthe” is the peerless tap team of Sean and John Scott. “We’re only getting about 120 in the room, so we have a slightly higher price because we are only offering about 1,200 seats a week,” said Mollison, whose company counts about 250 full- and part-time employees across three shows. That price point is explained at least in party by “Atomic’s” greater ticket demand, and the show’s weekly break-even point. Ticket prices are worth a double-take, starting at $169 apiece (without fees), higher even than those for its sister show and decade-long hit “Absinthe” (starting at $149). “Atomic” is scheduled to run 7 and 9 p.m. The Venetian currently is returning its free “Streetmosphere” entertainment program. ![]() “It’s the only show at The Venetian now, and we are in a great position with the property.” We’ll qualify “Atomic” will be the only ticketed show at Venetian/Palazzo when it comes back. “I really think people will want to come and want to see it,” Mollison said. Written by veteran theater director Cal McCrysta l, the show is a wild satire of western musicals, often (and justifiably) compared to Mel Brooks’ “Blazing Saddles.” Show host and brothel proprietor Boozy Skunkton (the terrific Petra Massey) and dopey cowboy heartthrob Blue Jackson (the multi-talented Colin Cahill) are among the cast members filing back into the saloon. As he said that, you could hear him actually knocking on wood in the background. “I never want to be too confident, but I am quietly confident Atomic will be fine, knock on wood,” Spiegelworld founder and impresario Ross Mollison said Saturday. The date is a coincidence, set just after after hotel-casino pandemic reopening authority shifts to the state Gaming Control Board on May 1. The show has no direct tie-in to the Mexican holiday. “Atomic’s” return arrives 14 months after it most recently performed at The Venetian. The bawdy, acrobatic, western-themed sendup is back on sale for a May 5 restart, with performances at 7 and 9 p.m. ![]() “Atomic Saloon Show” swings the doors (both ways) again on Cinco de Mayo, at its brothel-themed venue at The Venetian’s Grand Canal Shoppes. ![]() Twin tappers Sean and John Scott perform in "Absinthe" at Caesars Palace.
