| - I'd tried to go see Blue Man Group in Boston, where I live, for almost six years now and never found anyone to go with. Then I came to Vegas and while Blue Man Group wasn't on my priority list of shows to see, when I found out that Cirque du Soleil's KA show wasn't playing on Mondays, I got tickets to Blue Man Group.
This turned out to be my lucky day. I got the tickets via a ticketing booth at the Circus Circus Hotel and the tickets were half-priced. We then made our way to the Venetian Hotel and picked our tickets up and then went to dinner.
An hour later, we waited in line at the Blue Man Group theater and proceeded to walk in and settle into our seats.
While I had heard many great things about Blue Man Group, I had not read much about the shows, mostly in fear of seeing spoilers or anything else. I had heard some bits from one of their CDS and seen their TV ads for intel a few years back. I was somewhat familiar in regards to their instrumental concepts and the fact that they explore particular themes during their shows. But honestly, nothing had prepared me for the kind of experience that my grandfather and I had while there.
The show, from beginning to end was absolutely phenomenal. I don't want to reveal much but let's just say that it's brilliant, witty, funny and well paced. It's also very interactive and you'll have to wear ponchos if you're sitting in the first few rows. They are provided by the theater.
The music, the instruments, the themes, the decor, the theater and the overall experience you'll have is just fantastic. It was money well spent, on a very entertaining and clever show. I highly recommend it to anyone and look forward to checking out their other shows in other cities in the future.
