THE BLUE MAN GROUP ROCKS!!!!
This is the most creative and entertaining show I've ever watched!
It started off with text in red which flashes across a panel. It gives instructions to us, the audience, to what to do, like "reading" a birthday song to two of the audiences (cos it says not singing), no videorecording else they'll activate the ejector from our chairs, thanking some people in a audience for marking the centre of the audiences, blah blah blah..
It's just so funny! WE ARE DOING STUPID THINGS TOGETHER!- like the rock concert movements.
The performance was a combination of percussion using pipes (that glows in neon colours), water drums, drums and a band! With the use of technology (lights outlining a real person doing a dance with a whipping stick) whip cream on screens to project images), lights, neon paints, food (jelly, crackers) and effects of their stage presence, it's WOOOOOO!!!! Awesome man!!! Plus theatre- the 3 Blue Man acts, eats and vomits from the hole in their chest! Super funny!!! They were also pro at catching gum balls with their mouths. One of them used the colours ones and painted a picture by using the gum balls (which I dunno how), while the other caught the white ones and made it into an artistic model using his mouth.
2 people from the audience were asked to go on stage. The lady was made to wear a blue "women" vest and dine with the 3 blue men. At first we thought it was pre-planned, but we realised that how the lady reacted was quite normal to just follow what the blue man were doing. They were really good at predicting how the audiences will react. The other was a guy who was made to wear a white robe. He was brought backstage, hunged upside down, painted blue and swung to paint a picture on the canvas.
The whole show ended with a toilet paper party. The blue men were dancing in disco lights and ultraviolet light. The neon tubes hung from the ceiling glowed in the dark! Even my white top glowed in blue. We were sitting the top section of the theatre. When we thought we were more of less safe, the blue men climbed up!!! And under the neon lights they look so scary! They seem to be wearing a mask of zombies~!
I was engaged throughout the almost 2 hours show! I won't even wanna blink cos everything is so unpredictable and I don't want to miss anything part of it! I keep thinking "what would they do next?" And the amazing thing is.. there's no script! Everything was done through miming! Definitely a show that I'll never forget!
