I saw Blue Man Group (Off Broadway) on 11/07/07. Overall, I'd say it was a 5-star rating. I'd summarize it by saying “riveting integration of motion art, nu music, and three aliens who represent our inner child.”

I had a wonderful time and left the show feeling stunned and amazed. I'd describe the show as panache, eclectic , and brilliant. The alien drummer was a highlight of the show because of how they wove together comedy and art. If this were a movie, I'd rate it PG. I would recommend this show to everyone who wants an awesome experience; a view of a new art movement but not to people who are inside the box.

I saw this show because my uncle heard about it from his friends who gave raving reviews. I would see it again. I sat in the left balcony area of the theater. The view was clear because the bluemen climbed everywhere and the seats were ...I didn't notice because I had such a blast.

The elements I liked the most were how some people in front of the audience were forced to wear ponchos and take umbrellas due to the paint art interaction where the Bluemen would pour paint in their drums and play on it to give a vibrant rainbow effect, and where they would toss paintballs and catch them with their mouth, then proceed to crush them and spit them on canvas then sell them for 60 dollars a pop as art. One theme I noticed that repeated itself is the idea of the alien inside of us all (perhaps symbolizing the inner child) and how even among the three aliens; one alien always stood out by doing something ridiculous like squirting yellow goo out of his stomach or proceeding to throw a bag of chips into his face when everyone else is just "experimentally" munching on the "human" food. Of course I can't forget the experimental music...all the sounds are unique and original because the instruments are uniquely created from tubes, pipes, and whatnot. The synthesized sounds are made from shattering chandeliers, and tweaked guitar vibes which does give a ethereal sense of futuristic velocity. I think there was a rock move # called the "head bob" where the audience just learned to bob their head to the music.
Of course when the lady in the electric dress came on stage--it just blew me away--the details on the dress were amazing and I didn't know why she didn't blow up or get electrocuted from all that watt power.
The finale--I'll save that for you to find out--was the cherry on top of the brilliant ice cream (if ice creams can shine brilliant: maybe electric ones?) The interaction with the audience, the breaking of the fourth wall, the blending of art movements, and the going not just outside the box but beyond the box...really this is a show of a lifetime. I would suggest sending everyone and anyone tickets to see this show because it's a breath of fresh air.
