Tucked into Lakeview, the Briar Street successfully combines the best features of a small neighborhood theater with the more popular aspects of the Loop's grander showcases. This is a fine line to tread and for many years, it has done so successfully. The theater tends to present a mix between mainstream and more controversial fare. The popular Blue Man Group has been playing to sold-out crowds for over a year and continues to be held over.

Fantastic!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/03/07
This was the best thing I have ever seen!! I could not believe that they spent the entire time without a word or a smile. I was lucky enough to have a seat in the poncho section. I was dissapointed that I was on the end but my mind quickly changed when one of the guys climbed up on my seat and started dancing on me!! I highly recomend goiung with any one! Go with your freinds you will have a great time and something to talk about afterwards!!

Magnificent
By Jamie A, 03/05/07
Awesome show!! I am a very picky guy and not so open minded about going to shows. Makes me wonder what else I have missed out on being so narrow minded about these types of venues. I think I could probably watch these guys once a month. You feel good when you walk out of the theatre and there was nothing negative about it. Everyone in the house had a great time. Go, you won't regret it.

P.T. Barnum Can't Compete
By humper, 09/28/06
Move aside P.T. Barnum, the circus is over. The Blue Man Group is the "Greatest Show on Earth"! Wow, can't say more. Excellent musicians, great atmosphere, always laughing and the audience participation was great. Briar Street Theatre is one of the greatest theatres of its type. A smaller venue, however, great seats, great acoustics and seats were comfortable. I'm ready to go again!!!!
 
 
 
 
 
NEVER HESITATE TO SPEND THE MONEY FOR THE GOOD SEATS
By JENNIFER, 08/13/06
Actually there isn't bad seat in Briar Street. I love the show and the enthusiasm these guys putninto every performance. No matter how many times you see it it's always a uique experience. I have the priveledge of personally knowing one of the blue men for over 16 years now and the amount of energy and love he has for this project after being a member of Briar Street for over 10 years still amazes me. If you haven't seen the show GO NOW DROP WHAT YOU ARE DOING GET A PLANE TICKET AND GO!!! IT'S WORTH EVERY PENNY I PROMISE!!!

THE BEST
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/06/06
The most exciting performance I have ever attended. Humor, communication, and meaning without words from performers in grease paint. Magnificent! Music was entertaining and non generational. Easily enjoyed by everyone. Visual sightlines were great from our seats in the back. Enjoyed every minute of the performance from first note to last. Thanks you.

Excellent Customer Care!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/28/05
I purchased 3 tickets online via Ticketmaster for what I thought was a September 24th performance of Blue Man Group. To my surprise, my electronic tickets were dated September 11th - the date I purchased the tickets..and clearly not good for the September 24th performance. When I approached the box office, the assistant theatre manager, Greg White, was most accommodating. He was professional, dynamic, and kind. He was able to give us comparable seats and didn't even charge me even though he certainly could have done so. I will certainly go back again and again to Briar Street Theatre. Superb customer service!

See it again and again!
By Shannon, 09/27/05
Blue Man Group is the most amazing show I've ever seen, and every time I go it's different. Young or old, everyone seems to find something they like about the show. It's impossible to describe without sounding like an idiot, but do yourself a favor and go with friends, family, business acquaintences, anyone- just go!
