advice on Blue Man
 
Anyone have advice on the Blue Man Group in NYC? My husband and I and college age son will be in NYC for holidays.

There have been many reviews of Blue Man Group on this site (you can do a search), but basically everyone seems to have enjoyed it--it's very different but lots of fun. Your son will like it too.

We have seen Blueman 3 times in Chicago with family and friends. We have sat in the first row (the poncho section) the last row and right in the middle. I, personally, would not select the poncho section again. Not necessarily because you get splattered but because the Blueman show is such a spectacle that when you are so close you kind of miss the "big picture" and can't see the band as well, etc...Go, enjoy, but I would suggest being farther away from the front. <BR> <BR>Maria

I saw it twice in NY. A must see! The music is great! The ending even better!

We went about two years ago - and I'm ready to see them again. My son lives in NYC and my husband and treated him and his girlfriend - sat on second floor -and it was great. The theatre is small, so every seat is great - it's a lot of fun and very creative - you're son will love it. Hope that you go!

Just got back from Chicago. Saw BMG on <BR>Friday night with 3 kids, ages 9, l2 and <BR>l5. We had a blast and I don't know who <BR>liked it better, husband and I or kids. <BR>Would (and already have) recommend BMG <BR>for any age. Would see it again and <BR>would go to Chicago just to see it. <BR>Sat in the balcony and thought the view <BR>from there was great! It's very hard to describe, just a thoroughly entertaining show. Also recommend a <BR>nearby restaurant (about 4 blocks) <BR>called Leona's. They have directions <BR>at the box office. My kids loved it. <BR>Italian food. Good luck!

I have taken both of my teenage sons to see this show in NYC and it is a must see for crazy, fun entertainment. I think that the first row in the balcony is the very best seat. Have a great time and stop in for a hot chocolate at Starbuck's across the street. The last time that we went there was a wacky poetry reading that added to the NYC scene.
