Pros: Great visual effects
Cons: What they lacked in musical ability they made up for in VOLUME
Summary: Saw Blue Man "Complex" at Rosemont Theater near Chicago. Since "Complex" is billed as a Rock Concert I wasn't surprised to see a warm-up group take the stage and then another....but I was surprised some one and a half hours later not to see any Blue men. ... read more

Pros: None
Cons: Loud, no point to it, playing with food
Summary: I would not go to this unless you like really loud noises. Enjoy seeing food splattered around the room. I thought it was awful and lucky for me I got free tickets to go because if I had paid $43-53 I would be really mad. Save your money. It was not ... read more

Pros: it ends eventually
Cons: what a waste of talent.
Summary: "Blue Man Group" is a celebration of excess that contains the sneaky message that maybe excess isn't so good. When you walk in from the street, the theater's ceiling and walls are layed over with plastic tubes that look disconcertingly like the tubes ... read more

Pros: Five year old boys will think this is GREAT fun. Good drumming, I confess.
Cons: If you're not a five year old boy, it's trivial entertainment. Loud, rather lame, overrated.
Summary: Based on raving reviews (from my own father as well, no less) I was expecting something really spectacular and amazing. What I got for my $70 was...well...tedious. And sinfully wasteful, at the finale. Made me mad enough to walk out.
First, ... read more

Pros: One or two entertaining moments
Cons: too long, verrrrry sloooooow, extremely repetitive
Summary: I had heard so much about the Blue Man Group that I went to see them at the Luxor. I won't say what happens in the show - because if you do finally go see it - then I don't want to spoil the two minutes of fun you'll have in this 90 minute bore-fest. ... read more

Pros: Cool music and lighting
Cons: Boring skits, only 20% of the show is worth seeing
Summary: I usually agree with the majority and I am not one to write reviews, but this time I had to, specially after seeing so many good reviews (weird!!). I was expecting excitement, a "musical journey" (whatever!), talent and cleverness, but I walked out of ... read more

Pros: to few to mention
Cons: lasted to long. 1 1/2 to long.
Summary: I recently took a trip to NYC to check out this world renowned showing of the "Blue Man Group". Before I decided to attend the show I read a couple of great "epinions" before venturing off. The epinions spoke of how fabulous the show was and that I ... read more

Pros: It was less than two hours!
Cons: Pretty much the whole experience.
Summary: After much anticipation, I had the opportunity of seeing "Blue Man Group."
I was sadly disappointed. I went in to the experience not really knowing what to expect. I also feel that I appreciate art in all different forms. However, after ... read more

Pros: Innovative, some of it is fantastically entertaining.
Cons: Some bathroom humor, nothing new in their show since it opened.
Summary: Blue Man Group: Tubes is performance art unlike anything else on stage now. I didn't find it as thrilling as many people have, but I did enjoy it.
Tubes is a combination of wonderfully unique and entertaining elements, such as their paint can ... read more

Pros: Creative, wonderful rhythms, imaginative
Cons: No great message or seriousness.
Summary: I felt the percussion was filler more than "songs," but the drumming adds something very fun to the mix. Having just seen the group in Chicago, fifteen minutes from Rush Street by cab, my 15-year-old son and I laughed and shook our heads for two hours ... read more

Pros: Creative, new, hard-hitting beats, some humor, cool instruments
Cons: dis-jointed, sometimes gross, performance did not flow
Summary: Planned a trip to Vegas and was looking for cool stuff to do. This show came up on a "best of" search. I read the reviews ahead of time here and other places on the Web. I have a bit of fascination with plumbing so this seemed right up my alley. ... read more

Pros: funny, catchy music
Cons: Some skits may be dull to some
Summary: NOTE - This is the New York version of the "Blue Man Group" show.
The concept behind Blue Man Group had first been thought up of by three friends who founded the group not knowing how popular it would become. The idea for such a ... read more

Pros: Amazing show, Hilariously funny, Great for almost anyone
Cons: Theatre and stage are too small, Can get really hot during summertime
Summary: If the members of the Blue Man Group indeed are from another planet, I'd love to go visit it one day. Playing Off-Broadway in Astor Theatre in New York City, the Blue Men dazzle audiences with their crazy, yet funny, antics and put on shows that leave ... read more

Pros: A unique show worth seeing at least once..
Cons: Would not want to sit anywhere but in the front few rows..
Summary: I live in the Boston area and have the proud distinction of being close to some of the best shows around.
I've had the pleasure over the last few years of seeing "Blue Man Group" at the Charles Street Theatre first with a good friend who ... read more

Pros: fascinating visuals, unique music
Cons: I'm not sure it had a point.
Summary: Part Broadway show, part alternative rock concert, and part performance art, Blue Man Group is not just a show, but an entertainment experience unlike any other. This is definitely not the typical Rodgers and Hammerstein musical; rather than a linear ... read more

Pros: Eclectic, stimulating, surprises lurk everywhere
Cons: If it wasn't for the fact Chicago is more than 3 hour drive, I'd go 2 or 3 times a year!
Summary: I had seen preview of "The Group" for several years on Live with Regis and Kathi Lee. I vowed that if I were ever in NYC, I would have to see them. One day I happened to talk to one of my customers about the group, and not only did he know of ... read more

Pros: Nothing else like it, fun, talented performers.
Cons: Slow moments.
Summary: Who are these guys? These Blue Men? This Group? This show? It seems that every opinion here can't sum up the experience, but can relay details. I'm afraid that I can't exactly articulate quite what this show is, either.

Pros: unique, intelligent
Cons: wear old clothes if you are close to the stage
Summary: I have seen this show in Boston and in New York. The interesting thing is that it does change a little bit while still keep with the same tone, style, format, and intelligence. It's a strongly visual show, and it is worth checking out, especially if ... read more
