| - SPOILER ALERT! Details of the show are in this review, if you don't want to know what happens in Blue Man Group stop reading now!
But i'm guessing that you'll continue reading because like everyone else, nobody really has any idea what Blue Man Group is about. You're usually thinking, "Blue people? Music? They don't speak, or something?" Without actually seeing the show, the general details about this show are vague.
The show is (for the purpose of trying to boil it down) a comedy/music show. The three blue men are suppose to represent the internet or how social interaction works in this day in age, or are a representation of our personal insecurities. They all have their own silly mannerisms. and the audience feels safe laughing with them because they're all very curious and act socially awkward. This is the style of comedy you sit through for almost 2 hours, but I can assure you it gets confusing and repetitive very quickly.
The acts in this show include eating Captain Crunch, eating Twinkies, and eating Marshmallows. These are 3 different scenes that each last at least 10-15 minutes a piece. They eat these things while being socially awkward with one another. I swear to god, that's it. Additionally, there is a scene where they show you signs with words on them- and you read them until somebody walks into the auditorium late, at which point they bust those people out with a spotlight and putting them on the big screen. Its just a lot of cheap laughs for a majority of the show.
There is also a lot of drumming, which takes a certain amount of talent to do... but I'm really reaching to compliment the show when I say that. They drum, and they drum, they hit a few pvc pipes and drum some more. It's kinda 'neat' when they drum over the paint and the paint splashes around, but this is literally all they do they entire show.
The highlight of the show comes during the grand finale, when the Blue Men pull toilet paper over the audience. The audience is literally entirely covered with toilet paper- but again I can only use the word 'neat' to describe this. It's an exciting rush for about 2 minutes, after sitting through 2 hours of watching them eat food and drumming.
I paid $55 for my ticket via travelzoo, and when I left I felt like I wasted my time... If you do see this show, know that there is NO BAD SEAT in the house, and that the poncho zone doesn't get very wet at all... At the show I went to, the audience wasn't really into it and everyone seemed confused... There was probably a time when Blue Man Group was the hottest show in Vegas, but I think it's time is up... Maybe I'm just out of touch, but this style of comedy/music show just wasn't for me =/
