Blue Man Group
So we went and saw the Blue Man Group! We have been exited about this ever since we bought the tickets a couple weeks back, and we finally found a night where we were relaxed and free enough to go enjoy it. We got there and pretty much just walked in; the place isn’t really that large which is nice. They have screens telling you about the show, and you couldn’t help but laugh when the screen said, “No cell phones, pagers or portable fax machines.”
When the show started there was a lot of clapping and then the stage went black. Three windows appeared and a light came on behind each, showing the shadows of the three Blue Men. Now if you have never heard much about these guys their percussionists, meaning they play music on all kinds of instruments and even objects. Whatever they can find that makes the noise they want to here is what they will play. They open up with them playing music behind windows, and they make some really cool music. Then a light comes on and one of the blue men is eating and playing at the same time, first it was a drink, then a banana and finally cereal. His talent really shows when you realize he is keeping up with the tempo just as well as the others with only one hand, while eating with the other.
The show has a ton of special effects, from strobe lights to real life animation. Or kinda, it is really hard to explain what they do, but it is awesome. The entire show is hilarious; they do this act at a table where they get someone from the crowd to eat with them. They take out Twinkies and have a very hard time opening them. They have the person from the crowd open it and then one of them actually pulls out a power saw and cuts the packaging. When one of them lights a candle the other whips out a fire extinguisher and shoots it out. Then their chests start spitting out chewed food all over the table, and one of them scoops it into a takeout box and hands it to their crowd participant.
The entire show is hilarious and amazing. I don’t know how to describe it, its just something every person should experience. The acts are so funny and the show isn’t short, you get all your money’s worth!
