bettyandbob Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 So, I'm making a big splurge (for us) and taking my dd and younger ds to Universal in August. Is the Blue Man Group show worth going to. It looks fun. It looks like something we might enjoy. Has anyone been? dd is 17 younger ds has intellectual disabilities and down syndrome, he will be 14.

Home'scool Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 We went with our daughters when they were 15 and 18. It is a blast. Very visual and physical. There is no talking but they do use words on a screen depending on the act. When my cousin from Italy was visiting he didn't speak a word of English and we were having a hard time coming up with things to do with him. We brought him to a Blue Man show and he loved it because it is mostly visual. A lot of fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garga Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 It's a lot of fun. Sort of like watching a mime, but done really, really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriet Vane Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 We all loved Blue Man Group. My kids thought it was screamingly hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 It's fantastic! It appeals to a broad range of ages - We've been several times. It's a favorite of 23 year old DS, who even went as a blue man for his senior year Halloween. DS 11 has been as a 7 year old and a 10 year old. Loved it both times.

Stacia Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 We took our kids to see them when they were performing in our city a few years ago. Both kids enjoyed it, but my ds, who was probably 11yo at the time, especially loved it. Fun show & I think it will be a blast for all of you.

goldberry Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 DH and I saw them before DD was born. Been thinking about taking DD for a special trip. We loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audrey Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 It's probably been 20 years since I saw them, but I still remember it all. It was, without doubt, one of the most innovative, exciting and fun pieces I've ever seen (and I've seen a LOT of live theatre and music -- a LOT).

AlmiraGulch Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I've seen them 4 times, and I love the show. It's funny and physical and sometimes slapstick, but i find a lot of it to be highly cerebral and thought-provoking, too. A social commentary, if you will. I can't wait to see them again. All that said, I know people who absolutely hated it and walked out. I think it's either your cup of tea, or it isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2OandE Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I took dd12 a few months ago. It was one of the best times I've had in years. There is a moment at the end that is fun and freeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mona100 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 My daughter and I went last May and really enjoyed it. I honestly did not have any thoughts about it beforehand but I really loved it. My daughter went again this past Feburary and loved it all over again. It is really fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calledtobehome Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 My family went about a month ago. We had a blast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I remember when they got started back in the old neighborhood. :D I wonder how it's changed from the small theater. Besides the performance art there was a lot of drumming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
