''Absinthe'' is a live show that premiered in 2006 and is playing on the forecourt of Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, after opening on April 1, 2011. The show is hosted by The Gazillionaire, played by actor and former Cirque du Soleil clown Voki Kalfayan and his assistant, Penny Pibbets, portrayed by actress Anais Thomassian.〔 In a 2011 interview in ''The Huffington Post'' writer Paul Carr stated that Anais Thomassian and Voki Kalfayan were both Armenian, "And, yes, they're a couple."〔 A contemporary circus, the show is described by Stage and Cinema as "an uneasy cross between terrific variety acts and a stag party." ==Background== Originally, ''Absinthe'' was supposed to open at the Fontainebleau Resort Las Vegas. The Fountainebleau closed and Caesars Palace allowed the producers to set up a temporary tent at the Roman Plaza. Within 90 days of performances, after inspections by Las Vegas Fire & Rescue, the organizers were told to shut down production. Due to the success of the shows within those 90 days, Gary Selesner, president of Caesars Palace, purchased a Spiegeltent that met fire code standards from Germany and had it installed on site to replace the original tent.〔 The show was directed by Wayne Harrison and choreographed by Lucas Newland. Today, the show is produced by Ross Mollison and owned by Spiegelworld.〔 At the end of the show's 1,000th performance at Caesars Palace, the ''Absinthe'' cast celebrated by dressing up as zombies. In April, 2014, ''Absinthe'' celebrated its 1,500th show. The show will continue to run through 2016 at Caesar's Palace.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Absinthe (show)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
