Blue Man Group Review

The first half of the program defines the troupe's quirky comic aesthetic: three silent characters in utilitarian uniforms, their heads bald and gleaming from cobalt-blue greasepaint, prowl the stage committing twisted "science projects" that are alternately highbrow and juvenile. The early antics deliberately leave much of the stage in the dark, until it comes time to reveal gorgeous high-resolution video effects and the towering set with lighting designs by Pink Floyd tour collaborator Marc Brickman. And it's all scored to a live rock band with percussion instruments made from PVC pipe.
