Don't let this blue face scare you. They are a gentle species.
It’s an easy recipe; you can try it at home. Apply face paint, a bald cap, and a black turtleneck. Be silent. Interact with humans for best results.
This is the simple formula that has allowed the Blue Man Group to conduct one of the most successful and inventive social psychology experiments in the world of theater consistently for nearly two decades. There’s no tinfoil, let alone CGI, but when the Blue Men get into costume, they become aliens, and through their eyes, we are able to see the strangeness of our own world. [click to continue…]

After the show: the author (right), a Blue Man, and a slightly terrified younger sister. Don't worry, she had a blast!
Where do I begin to review the Blue Man Group? From walking up to the Astor Place Theatre where there are eyes looking at you, to going down the steps to pick up my tickets.

(Yes, you are allowed to bring the food to your seat!)
I had no idea what I was about to see. I’ve heard people talk about the BLUE MEN but to be at the show and experience it for yourself is different (and pretty cool). I went down into the small theatre, which is great because it means that no seat is a bad seat. I was lucky enough to score tickets through High 5 in the “raincoat section.” Little did I know I would actually need the raincoat. [click to continue…]

Cyanmania: noun; The crazed feeling one experiences after witnessing a truly spectacular performance by the Blue Man Group.
It is rare experience to leave a show speechless, wanting more, wishing you could be BLUE. In fact, cyanmania only occurs after seeing a Blue Man Group performance. You never know what you’re going to get yourself into the moment you purchase a theater ticket in this city. My usual rule is buyer beware! But be assured, complete with many laughs, great live music, and multimedia theatrics, the Blue Man Group is the eighth wonder of the world. [click to continue…]
