very good production, "out of the box" thinking! refreshing change!
My wife and I have seen Blue Man Group before in Manitoba but this was the first time for our two teenage boys. Honestly, they were not keen that we had booked the tickets without their consent and were not totally willing to attend. Turned out this was the favourite thing we did while visiting Chicago. Almost two hours of music, laughs, and just a great time! Highly recommend it for a family!
This was my 4th time seeing the Blue Men and it was the best yet. Although we didn't get a painting after sitting in the front row.
Very disappointed, a little slow and jeuvenile ,definately not worth the money paid.
Visited New York from Toronto with our family and kids. This show was the highlight of the entire trip. Entertaining for the entire 90 minutes. Very interactive show in a theatre that maybe holds 200 or so people tops! Fantastic staff and great location. Would do it again...
I just love the very original percussion work these fellows do ... there were 3 such segments (excluding the behind-the-curtain intro). However the rest of the show with its pretty low-brow humor and slapstick comedy was a bit of a yawn. Perhaps it was the lady behind me with the irritating high-pitched shrieking laugh. (Spoiler alert) I could have done without the regurgitated twinkies.
I went into this show knowing a little bit more about the BMG than my boyfriend [he was completely clueless!] - and we were both blown away. The intimate venue made for such an interactive show, making the entire audience feel involved. I laughed out loud, I screamed, I had a blast. Everyone and anyone should go see this show, and brave the poncho section... being covered in paint, bananas, etc. by the end of it is worth it.
Always changing, always fun, particularly for the younger members of the family.
I had never seen Blue Man Group before and went with my 10 year old granddaughter. We both loved it and I can see why it's been around for so long and is successful in so many locations. High energy and funny and designed to appeal to the 10-12 year old in everyone. I can't imagine anyone not enjoying this show. Quite high tech in places and slapstick in others. Lots of interaction with the audience. A plus was that the blue men were at the back of the theatre as we left for pictures, etc. Nice touch.
This show was one of the best I've ever seen. This was funny, surprising, original!
Absolutely incredible!! Loved Every minute. Would see it again.
Great family fun! The kids loved it. The room is a little small in New York (compared to Las Vegas).
I didn't know a great deal about the performance before going other than the performers were in blue face and there was some unique drumming so I was quite surprised that there was a lot of audience interaction and humour. It was not at all what I had expected. Having said that however I was impressed by what was a really unique experience - it was part of a great Boston vacation!
Blue Man Group was awesome!! Every moment of the non-stop 90 minute performance incredible. I would highly recommend going and would go again myself. Take your camera for "after the performance" photos with the Blue Guys!! I loved it!!
Very typical, American show. Full of visual and audio stimulations. Good choice for family with kids. Only.
It was a very good show in that we didn't know what to expect and we were entertained from start to finish. If you are wanting to go to a show in Boston with some teenagers this would be a hit. We went as a couple and enjoyed it. There are some good restaurants in the area so this afforded us an opportunity for a full evening out on the town.
We had read the reviews and were already impressed, but even more so after seeing the show. It is so different, interactive, educational, funny and above all memorable. Do not miss an opportunity to see this great entertainment.
They were totally a pleasant surprise. Id heard of them and seen a few You Tube performances but nothing prepared me for how fun this concert would be. Im now a fan for life and I would DEFINITELY go see them again.....and recommend them highly to my friends and family.
We booked our seats same day for a Sunday matinee showing and sat in the first row of the mezzanine and although it allowed us to watch a highly entertaining show without having to don protective plastic wear, viewing was awkward with the protective bars right in the line of vision. The show was a lot of fun with a ton of variety. It was also loud, fast paced and hi-tech with some very talented entertainers. Highly recommended!
I enjoyed this production. I was hoping to see more of them playing the pipes.
