In Short – This internationally traveling event tent--a mirrored, art deco den that was born in Belgium--sets up shop in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge every summer and sticks around through mid-fall. The main event is Absinthe, a sumptuous burlesque performance that runs at 8pm every night but Monday (with an extra performance at 10pm on Friday and Saturday nights). Other shows include La Vie (created by alums of Cirque de Soleil), Desir, and the Gazillionaire's Late Nite Lounge.

Gazillionaire's is just bad

I felt totally riped off. I saw Absinthe and was impressed. Got tickets for G and went and paid the crazy $11 a glass for wine-$3 more then a mixed drink. This would have been fine if the show was funny. You can only hear some fool say (words that are censored by Citysearch) and lesbian so many times before you get board. These were the only words he could use. They tried to be cutting edge and funny as hate filled people. But the show was only homophobic, not funny. Even 4 drinks couldn't make the show funny. I guess it is for a more conservative hateful crowd. If you want to be cutting and edgy they be equal with it. Yes, they made fun of races with very guarded words. But it was field day for anyone gay. No, anyone who wasn't that were made the butt of jokes.
- Pros: the other shows
- Cons: i went

We went to the midnight show of Absinthe.The whole experience was wonderful. right on the water over looking the bridges. there are a few bars and a busy dance floor with an awesome DJ spinning Brazilian jazz that but the music changes nightly. there is an area to sit and order food, and an area on the perimeter to sit by the water under the brooklyn bridge, either on a chair or a hammock!! drinks are plentiful, and they serve Absinthe the real deal! the show was so much fun and the acrobats were sooo hot!!!! this was a sensual adult circus! the hosts were hysterical. there is a full bar in the tent. show was about an hour and half. every seat is a good seat but if you sit in the front you just may be a part of the show. A must see!!!!
- Pros: great alluring adults only fun!!

Great show, but LAME useless ticket pricing and uninformed/apathetic staff
by RKNY17 at Citysearch
Tickets came in different prices
paid $79 instead of $59 expecting to get a better seat, but it is general seating
the additional $20 was for them, no VIP seating, no head of line waiting or any PERK
in fact, when we asked several people on the staff what the difference between $79 and 59 ticket was, they did not know.
Meanwhile the space was filling up and we were in back row..
my friend demanded an explanation from the Manager, and they did not have any answer either
MGR: "what can we do for you?"
US: "um give us the $20 back on each ticket"
they offered us free drinks, and then actually tried to get us front row seats -which they did. and the performances were amazing, hot guys hot girls surreal stunts, wont give any surprises away, but fruit was used interactively.. oh my
amazing performers, tight intimate space-you don?t HAVE to be front row to get a good view,
in fact, pay the lowest price ticket and just get there early
it is certainly worth it., front row or not
just don?t freaking pay the higher ticket price..
- Pros: breathtaking show hot guys/girls
- Cons: tickets have varying prices, but its only general admission seating, no benefit for paying higher prices
