This was a trip without the kids. My wife and I decided on Lannie's Clocktower Cabaret as something new and different. Our expectations were met. We chose the 11:00pm show which was the Circus. The acts were all for the most part entertaining and funny in a great atmosphere.
My wife also paid for the VIP seats because it was my birthday. It is a small venue but I feel paying the extra for better seats was worth it versus general admission sitting further back.
My one negative was we sat there for 25 min without our waitress coming to take our drink orders. It was not that she was not working as she everyone around us was getting drinks. We had to get her attention and she admitted that she did not notice us. I know that I am an average joe and blend in with the crowds typically but ouch.
If you are looking for something different and have never been to a cabaret, I would recommend Lannie's. We booked our tickets same day.
