Are they worth seeing? The tickets are pretty cheap... something like $69 each for front row or near front row seats. I really have no clue who they are or what they're about, I've just heard it was a really crazy show. I also got front row tickets to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra today, so I'm in a very awesome mood. |

I was very entertained by them the few times I've seen them on TV and I just talked to someone the other day who saw them recently and really enjoyed it. They are novel, inventive and funny.
EDIT: and blue.

I don't really go to many concerts and shows, so when I do, it's usually fairly expensive. $69 isn't that much compared to a lot of Broadway shows and other things I've seen... not that I actually liked any of the Broadway shows I've seen  |

Please go. Click here for a peek. |

Good times. Equal parts party, thinking man, comedy, musical and eerie acid trip. |

I thing Cirque d' Soliel shows are far superior and depend on talent rather than gimmick. Check out the one at Treasure Island. It's reasonable and an excellent show. |

I dunno. I paid $100/ticket for amazing seats at the Luxor in Vegas, and I would do it again in a second. The band is tight, and the show is unlike anything you'll see.
I like Cirque d' Soleil, too, but I think Blue Man Group was awesome. And, it was unlike anything else you'll see. |

Endorsing artist: Musicman basses, Hipshot products | | Join Date: Oct 2000 Location: New York City | | | I saw Blue Man Group about 2 years ago and thought it was totally worth it. I happened to have gone on a great night, which was a bad night, for them - I heard they rarely have bad nights. They screwed up more than once and I kinda got a kick out of it. Showed their human side. It's thoroughly entertaining though.
I forgot the exact title, but another show that I enjoyed even more was De La Guardia??? Totally different premise, but off the wall (literally and figuratively). It was an experience. I love living in NY. We have access to sooooo much more artistically than a lot of other places, and I often forget that. |

That would be such a sweet gig though. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
