Esteemed Gentlemen of the High Wire (Absinthe)

ABSINTHE opened April 1, 2011 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. This dangerous closing act consists of a team of 3 male tight-rope walkers, who are known as the "Esteemed Gentlemen of the High Wire: Paul Matthew Lopez ("Fat Frank") Almas Meirmanov ("Handsome Hank") and Tony Hernandez ("Tony Tightropes"). We discussed this most daring and amazing act, which is a jaw-dropping experience as they perform without a safety net. Paul, Almas and Tony are all well-known Chicago actors who have performed at Chicago theatres including Lookingglass, Steppenwolf and Goodman Theatre.
