Blue Man Group

See it if you know what you're getting into.

Don't see it if you don't like performance pieces.

See it if You like the drums or weird visuals

Don't see it if You are expecting any type of storyline or any speaking or singing. This is pretty much a drum show with some odd visuals and blue men.

See it if You like silly humor. There’s some fun talent here too. Sort of clown like but with an edge. Fun for all ages.

Don't see it if You're looking for any kind of serious content. There’s no story, just gags but they do entertain.

Also I just saw this show again after 20 years and WOW what a pleasant surprise!! Not only has the theatre been completely spruced up the show has too and I’m pleased to say it’s much better than it was originally (or maybe I’ve changed...but that’s a whole other discussion...lol). Anyway, I changed my Score from 65 to 85. I was entertained. They kept a few of the classics and streamlined the fun so it moves much faster and more smoothly. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Recommend it for everyone, family to partiers to date night to someone like me just looking for a fun night out.... Read more Read less

See it if it brought the beginning to this kind of genre in the theater. been playing since the early 90 s. It is funny, intense at times and creative

Don't see it if you don't like the fast pace, the audience participation, the and the sometimes stupidness of the show.

See it if You want a fun and quirky night out.

Don't see it if you want a story.

See it if you've never seen this innocuous, mostly childish show (with glimpses of wit) that's blue in color only. [It's neither sad nor bawdy.]

Don't see it if you suffer from cyanophobia; you hate audience participation; you've seen this once-ubiquitous cerulean troupe before, as little has changed

Also No point or plot, but plenty of drums, projectiles, spit-takes, strobes, fluids, mime, confetti, toilet paper, and techno music.

Note: Whether you see this show in NYC or any other city it's playing in, do not pay full price. There are always tons of discounts out there if you do a simple search.... Read more Read less

See it if you are into mindless fun. Non-verbal communication translates into sight gags and silliness of many kinds.

Don't see it if you are afraid of mimes.

See it if you like a creative show with interaction with your neighbour. Stay for the bathroom tissue.

Don't see it if you don't like the colour blue.

See it if You want to be entertained. You like audience participation. You want escapism.

Don't see it if You want a show with a plot & characters. You hate audience participation. You want a show with emotional depth.You want issues & tissues.

See it if It is a very creative show, fast pace and funny.

Don't see it if Its face pace, audience is involved and not meaning.

Also The reason I score it 70, is all around me everybody was laughing having funny. It was funny but very stupid. The younger audience loved it. One of the Blue Men climb up to the mezzanine.... Read more Read less

See it if you're looking for something relatively mind-numbing and different with no narrative, or enjoy shows with lots of audience participation.

Don't see it if you prefer traditional theatre, or don't want gross gunk sprayed all over you (if you're in the first few rows).

Also I was in the first row and had this wet banana fake vomit shot right in my face. It covered my face, glasses, arms, and hands. It dried over the course of the show (hard to remove) and I was picking it out of my hair the rest of the night. The box office selected my seat and gave me no warning, nor was there any consideration over whether I might actually be allergic to banana. They give you a smock, but the smock DOESN'T COVER YOUR FACE.... Read more Read less

See it if Great for all ages. Different from anything else you've ever seen. Worth seeing

Don't see it if You prefer shows with a storyline.

See it if You like clowning and percussion music.

Don't see it if You have no interest in interacting with other audience members and/or actors.

See it if Very different type of entertainment. No plot or characters but men in blue doing unusual things. Never boring!

Don't see it if You like a serious dignified show.

See it if You are bringing a child to see their first stage experience

Don't see it if You are expecting any type of a story this is just a bunch of people painted in blue and playing the drums

Also The best way for me to describe this is the exact way that I described seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time. I said “wow look at that!” And then 30 seconds later it was just a big giant hole on the ground”... Read more Read less

See it if I liked this show. It is not a play, more an unusual musical circus act.

Don't see it if You are looking for plot or character. There is none.

See it if you're w prepubescent kids who like gross-out humor & too long sight gags. Only the drumming is inspired/fun. Wish there'd been more of that

Don't see it if Want sophisticated theater, are claustrophobic, don't like having food spit at you, hate loud noises/strobes, expect more musicality.

Also I first saw this years ago & (mis)remembered it as fun. My tastes have changed as I get older but the show just hasn't been able to keep up with the current zeitgeist. This was like a way-off-the-Vegas Strip weird lounge act, even though they've tried to update it a bit w projections & digital technology.

There's a lot of playing with food and spitting out chewed food. In 90 minutes, I believe there was only about 10 minutes of actual creative entertainment.

You can't escape the audience interaction and if you're like me and on the aisle, you'll be terrified they're going to drag you up on the stage to be a forced participant.

If you don't like REALLY loud sound, stay away. If strobes and blacklight give you a headache, stay away.And this is important - you'll get literally buried in reams of faux toilet paper at the end. I'm claustrophobic and came very, very close to having an all out panic attack.

Couldn't wait for it to be over.

Saw this at the Astor Place Theatre.... Read more Read less

See it if You love life! Try to take a young child, their enthusiasm is infectious!! Even if you need a lift you'll get into it.

Don't see it if You're truly a miserable person that can't be helped.

See it if you're looking for a fun show that doesn't require any intellectual commitment. Perfect for families.

Don't see it if you want a show with a plot or if you're as petrified of potential audience participation as I am.

See it if you enjoy an evening that is thoroughly unpretentious fun. Cute gimmicks and very talented cast made this totally enjoyable.

Don't see it if you would prefer a serious drama, glitzy musical or classic Shakespeare. This isn't it; this is just fun!

See it if You like to try something new. It was very entertaining and funny. I enjoyed the visuals. The painting was great. Amazing stuff with paint.

Don't see it if You can't step outside the box. You don't like different.

See it if you like visually stunning effects, amazing and outrageous performances, off-beat humor, subtle satire and audience participation.

Don't see it if you dislike loud noise, some purposefully disgusting "bits," non-traditional format and no dialog whatsoever.

See it if you'd enjoy something "new", different, LOUD, exciting, w/4th-wall obliteration & non-stop fun surprises (was told we saw one new segment).

Don't see it if you want highbrow theater. This is no-thinking, let-loose, hysterical high-jinks fun. Like Fuerza Bruta, it's an incredible live experience.

Also This freaking mess. Had never seen it before...

...finally gave in. Don't know what the hell took me so long. All show-snobs who haven't taken the plunge yet, listen up: SEE. THIS. MESS.

I'm going back again & again, w/EVERYONE I can convince to join me. It's a total escape, harmless fun for all ages, family-group or night-out with the gang, drink in hand or not. Preferably not, actually.

If you CAN'T enjoy the 90min of what this messy show throws @ you (literally sometimes)... the "artwork", the music, the drumming, the cellphone audio-visuals, the paper (!!!), even the pre-show LED message board... you probably don't enjoy much of anything that's remotely fun &/or silly. You'd probably not be into the audience participation either.

Especially cool meeting the cast afterwards. They never broke character. Intense. Perfection.... Read more Read less

See it if you just want to enjoy a fun night out with friends that doesn't involves any thought-provoking discussion over the material you just saw

Don't see it if you want a show with a story or a plot. This is just three men in blue doing their thing, which is fun but not deep!

See it if You like inventive and silly entertainment.

Don't see it if Seek a traditional theatre experience.
