| - what an incredible show. I had heard of Blue Man Group and was somewhat familiar with what they do, having seen videos, but there is NOTHING like seeing these guys live.
it is a blend of music (rock/industrial is how I can best classify it), magic tricks, comedy show, and "total WTF".
it is a great show for all ages - kids laugh at the Blue Men destroying Twinkies with power tools and making art out of marshmallows, and adults will get some of the musical references (the "how to be a rock star" skits are hysterical). there is audience participation as well, and the show is just the right length of time.
there are themes of science and technology (optics, information processing, networking) that some people may not pick up on, but as an engineer, I was thrilled to see a show that appealed to me without dumbing it down.
I kinda wish I had the Yelp discount code. however, if you go to their site, and give them your cell and what date you get to Vegas, you'll receive a discount code and number to call. we ended up scoring SECOND ROW CENTER seating for $75 a head. that's the splash zone, kids. don't worry, ponchos provided.
the theater is awesome. the seats are comfortable and the ushers are very helpful. music is loud but not overbearingly so.
side note, don't come late. you'll learn why.
