Spiegelworld’s glittering new entertainment destination opens at Caesars Atlantic City
Not since the spectacular Warner Theatre opened in 1929 has Atlantic City’s Boardwalk been so abuzz with anticipation. On Friday July 21 2023, on the very same ground, live entertainment trailblazer Spiegelworld officially unveiled its reimagining of this sacred entertainment space with the opening night of The Hook at Caesars Atlantic City. Hosted by Spiegelworld’s Impresario Extraordinaire Ross Mollison, alongside Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, and Regional President for the East John Koster, hundreds of invited guests passed under the glittering lights of The Hook marquee and entered through the theater’s restored, original 1929 façade. Inside they were treated to a non-stop night of cocktails, dining and live entertainment that showcased everything The Hook has to offer Atlantic City visitors and locals, every week of the year.
Spiegelworld’s newly opened east coast version of its hit Italian-American-Psychedelic restaurant Superfrico is situated backstage at The Hook, where VIP guests enjoyed signature dishes including the spectacular Hot Seafood Tower, presented by a ‘risk’ of costumed lobsters. After dinner, pre-show cocktails were served in Horse Dive Bar, an homage to Atlantic City’s horse-diving entertainment history. Popular libations included the Pool Boy featuring Don Julio Blanco Tequila and the Black Star featuring Bulleit Bourbon. Four hundred guests were then seated for the main attraction with the world premiere of Spiegelworld’s new show The Hook, a riot of raunchy comedy, jaw-dropping acrobats and international circus performers directed by the award-winning Cal McCrystal. The full standing ovation at the end of the show transitioned into an all-night party with dancing, more cocktails and surprise pop-up performers throughout the venue.
The Hook is located at 2100 Pacific Ave, Atlantic City. Performances are Wednesday- Sunday at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.
