I have seen this show twice now. The first time was in Vegas about 11 years ago, when the show first came out and the second time was a week ago at the Segerstrom Center in Costa Mesa, CA. The Vegas production hosts a much larger production, since it is Vegas. The Blue Man Group on Tour was a bit more limited. I am surprised after 11 years that the show was still about 92% the same. One cool difference was that at the end of the show there is toilet paper being throw in the air. 11 years ago the toilet paper was thrown into the crowd and the crowd had to pick up the toilet paper and throw it themselves. 11 years later, Blue Man invented a machine that throws the toilet paper in the air. There is technology in full effect!
I personally thought the show was average. A couple parts were very cool and exciting, but the remaining parts of the show was nothing spectacular. To sum up the show in a sentence, this show mixes comedy, includes crowd participation while keeping the show loud and full of action.
During the show a man from the audience was chosen to go behind stage. The Blue Man covered the man up in a suit and tied the man upside down. The man was splattered with paint and throw on a wall. After getting abducted with paint, the man was able to keep the portrait of his paint spatted on the wall body portrait. That was the coolest part of the show. I want to make one too!
Another cool part of the show, one of the Blue Man caught over 10 plastic ping pong balls in his mouth. Could of been more or less, but it was a very large number. Can you catch 10 ping pongs in your mouth? Pretty amazing stuff!
The show had loud music and was full of energy. Alot of neon colors and images for your viewing enjoyment.
HAPPY BLUE MANING!!
