I have seen Opium 5 times now, it’s my favorite show in Vegas to take my friends to! Every time I see the show, it’s different. Some of my favorite acts I always see in the show include the cyr wheel “Saturn and his Ring” which is crazy to see this guy spinning so fast on such a tiny stage… he is so cool!!! He was my friends’ favorite act as well. I have even met the performer: Nick.
The Bubbles act is the best kind of that act that I have ever seen… it is like Mr. Rogers meets Willy Wonka and Bill Nye the Science guy, and then boom: bubbles. Another one of my favorites is the straight jacket escape to “No One” by Alicia Keys. I haven’t seen that act in a while, but it’s definitely an act that I keep coming back for!
They have a new Limbo act that is way too much fun, and another act (that I’m not sure how to identify) which is a percussion/body percussion/beatboxing trio.
Characters I wish I saw more of lately are: Skip, Captain Kunton, and whatever the robot guy’s name was. I also adore the VIP couple (a hilariously disgusting act with bananas), and Venus the screeching plate spinner.
If you’re thinking of seeing Opium, GO!!!!!!!
