You
have never seen an ‘event’ like the “Blue Man Group”, that was started
27 years ago off-Broadway and has since gone global.  It is a
combination of music, satire, humor, a rock concert, modern art, strobe
lights, special effects and modern technology all rolled into one.

Audience
participation is an important aspect of the show whether it is getting
them up to ‘shake their booty’ or pushing giant colored balloons all
over the auditorium. In the middle of the show the three Blue Men, Mike
Brown, Benjamin Forster and Scott Speiser, come into the audience to
bring, in this case, a woman on stage to dine on Twinkies and in another
case a young man who they put in a jump suit to use his body to make a
painting.

There
are liquids all over the place, used for various reasons in various
ways, not to mention string confetti falling from the ceiling and the
first 3 rows in the orchestra provided with panchos, just in case. Some
of the funniest lines are before the show starts when signs on each side
of the stage have running messages. By the way the three blue men never
talk but they sure can catch food in mid-air!.

Whether
it is setting a camera on someone who has come in late for the
performance and being taunted with “You are late. You should have been
here 20 minutes ago,” until they get to their seats or taking a live
oral exam with a camera, for everyone to see, of an front seat audience
member or climbing the back of seats up to the boxes you never know what
to expect from the Blue Man Group.

There
are 8 actors in the Blue Man Group plus 8 musicians, the latter mainly
dressed in skeleton outfits, and, as fast as technology is growing, I am
sure the show will be as different in 27 years as it was 27 years ago.
