It's Friday night in Vegas. I had been wanting to see this show for years - literally! So, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to see a fabulous show, enjoy being with my folks, and experience a true Las Vegas experience. It was definately an experience. This is the only information I had on the show before tonight. So, with tickets in hand, we walk from "Emeril's" at the MGM Grand to the theater at New York New York. Being in the hotel was exactly like being in New York City, even though it was on a smaller scale. The hustle and bustle, the crowds, the noise - it was all there.
As we entered the theater, there was an area to the left where you could have your picture taken - complete with props! Well, it didn't take any persuasion for mom and I to each pick up a feather boa and pose seductively with dad. What's wrong with this picture??? So - what the heck, we were in Vegas, baby! And we were there to have fun. Fun we had!!! Witness...
Yes, this is for real. Father, mother, daughter. What were we thinking? "We're in Las Vegas and in Vegas - what happens here, stays here". Not your usual wholesome family picture, but what the heck - we're here to cut up and have fun. Not give a hoot what anyone else thinks!!!
This is the brochure that we got when we arrived at the theater. I had thought that our seats were in the nosebleed section, but as it turned out, we were the fourth row back from the stage. That turned out to be a GOOD thing, as people in the first through the third rows were singled out by the dildo wielding clowns. Yes, you read correctly.
The show was so surreal that I can't even remember the sequence of events. When the show started, it was as though we were transported to another time and place. The "emcee" or "host/hostess" for the evening was a transvestite. Throughout the evening, a dominatrix would stroll the performance, snapping her whip. There was one act where two (seemingly naked) women cavorted in a huge champagne glass filled with water. They were acrobats and performed feats that you can only imagine. There were contortionists, acrobats, dancers, half human and half animal actors - things of only your imagination. There was a centaur, gorgeous women and beautiful men. Something to please everyone. Once the show started, the three of us just sat with our collective mouths open, taking in the sights and sounds.
During the finale portion of the show, the spotlight was focused on members of the audience. There was one couple that had been married for 39 years. The emcee (aka transvestite) asked the guy if he took Viagra. His response was "I have to". It was a hoot. Then, they invited an audience member to come on stage and join the "orgy" and invited the aforementioned couple, but rather than joining the "orgy", they danced. Very classy. It might have been a part of the performance but we'll never know.
I won't go into detail about the guy with the brass penis, or the "wolf woman" (half clothed), but one thing of note is the pure sensuality of the whole experience. Although many of the characters appeared to be totally nude, it was an illusion. Yes, most of the women (and all of the men) were topless, everyone wore skin suits with patches of "hair" sewn on to give the appearance of total nudity.
I can't speak for mom or dad, but I enjoyed it very much. Yes, it was different, erotic, strange and exciting - but that's what I wanted to experience. I can only hope that mom and dad enjoyed it as much as I did. (We don't talk about it - therefore, no embarrassment)
Whew - that's enough for now. Tomorrow (in Vegas) is Christmas Eve day. We're going to spend the day investigating and familiarizing ourselves with our hotel. A lazy day with nothing specific to do!
