I put off writing this post in the hopes of getting some pictures from the show up, however, I haven’t managed to get them from my camera to my computer, and at this rate, it will take me forever. (Not because I don’t know how to do it…just tracking down my camera and laptop at the same time seems an impossible task for me right now!) ;)

Anyway, the show was fabulous. We were given center orchestra tickets and had the chance to meet the cast after the show. Well, take pictures with the cast - they were still very much in character, and were very silent (and expressionless). The seats were great, and we really had a great view. The “Blue Men” were highly entertaining, with outlandish antics like throwing marshmallows and catching them in their mouths to playing with paint and drums at the same time.

The band was entertaining as well. They had costumes that glowed and really added to the atmosphere. The music was really fun to listen to - it was loud and well played.

Blue Man Group is a performance that is hard to describe…unique and original are two words that come to mind, but again, they aren’t very descriptive. Just imagine the Three Stooges meet Charlie Chaplin (they don’t say a word) meet…a big vat of blue paint. All set in modern/futuristic times.

I had a chance to see the Blue Man Group in Chicago a couple of years ago, and while the shows were similar, the one in Vegas seemed to be a bit more entertaining. I don’t know why…maybe it was just the excitement of being there.

I really enjoyed the show, thanks to PubCon. I would recommend it to anyone - it’s good family fun. (Probably not the younger kids - they might be intimidated by how loud the show is.) I look forward to catching another show in Las Vegas next time I go - maybe if I end up going to CES again this year. We’ll see!
