| - Great show, we enjoyed it so much! We were "Blue Man Virgins" until this experience and had wanted to see it for some time. I took our 17 year old son to Vegas with us, and he was not too keen on Cirque du Soleil or some other ideas we had for shows. Blue Man Group "rang his bell" so we went.
The Venetian is a gorgeous hotel, and we had fun shopping there before the show and grabbing a bite at El Canonita-- excellent, fresh Mexican food!
The Blue Man Group was exhilirating, funny, creative, thought-provoking, trippy, and had great percussion music. I loved the audience participation aspect of it and all the very unique things they do.
I have arthritis of the knee and back, and was unhappy with our seats (no leg room). I asked an usher if there was something he could do, and he immediately whisked me to an aisle seat to be more comfortable. How great, I was thrilled with that.
When we returned home, I spoke with my older son who had seen Blue Man group twice before in Boston and D.C. From my description, it seems like the show is exactly the same as it was 4 years ago when he last saw it, no changes, nothing new. That surprises me... You'd think they would want to change/update and freshen the show sometimes to make it more interesting for repeat customers.
All in all it was great fun, very creative, funny, entertaining. I highly recommend it. My 17 year old loved it. The other thing: It was LOUD, but I was prepared. My son loved the loudness, I put in ear plugs and was happy as heck that I did.
