The Blue Man Group, New York

Blue Man Group is mind-boggling entertainment. This totally unique show is a sight, sound and brain stimulating roller coaster that will completely overturn your notions of what going to the theater means. The troupe looks like a bunch of space aliens from a Blue Planet somewhere decked out all in black with blue heads and hands. Pulsating percussive music pounds away as it shoots light, electric and sound waves across the stage and the audience. Amazingly the stage is transformed into a black hole sliced by laser light rays and populated by the Blue Man Group's floating heads with their phosphorescent eyes. This is a show that demands that you go with the flow and allow the light and sound to wash over you. Adding to the appeal of Blue Man Group is the intimacy of the 300-seat Astor Place Theatre that provides direct interaction between the troupe and the audience.
