This evening, the lovely Cathy and some of our friends went to the Blue Man Group show at the Venetian Casino and it was an interesting experience.The Blue Man Group have been a fixture in Vegas for many years and they have about a 2000 seat theater, which was almost filled.
The Blue Man Group is known for their interesting percussion/drumming while of course, dressed in blue face.
The actors in blue man were very good, even though they showed no expression, you could read their body language and it was funny. Their drumming was out of this world. The sound effects were very good and the props and lighting was great.
There were some slow moments in the show but it was not that bad. They had audience participation in which a young lady very near to us was picked. In fact, the Blue Men were very close to us several times during the show.
The Blue Men go out of the stage area and if you are lucky, they will literally be right next to you, even if you are in the middle of the theater.
During the encore, it was very important for the people in the back , where we sat, to help out and if you don't help out, the last part of the show will be a failure.
I don't want to give away the finale, but it involves something coming from the ceiling and it needs to be passed to the front. Well, there was no one sitting in front of us and the people in the front row didn't have a clue. So, a Blue Man and myself had to work together to get the objects from the back to the front, so the finale would work.
