One part Three Stooges, One Part Gallagher, one part crazy drummer guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DVbt5W-DNc This show is fun but let's be honest; it's kinda lowbrow. What I mean is even a child could enjoy the simple humor and physical gags. Although I must say I was impressed to see a man catch something like 10 marshmallows in his mouth. Shakespeare, it is not. But it's kinda fun if you're far from sober. read more

Creepy awesomeness. What a show! However I can't get over the creepy staring that they do in the audience. Bananas, lights, balls, paint, technology, toilet paper, marshmallows, the best of all worlds. Audience participation, amazing skills of catching food with their mouths, and overall hilarity make this a must see in Boston. The hour and 45 minute show was packed with so much visual and audio stimulation, it definitely kept me awake through the 8 pm show after a long day of work. Oh, and you get to learn a hundred+ different names for your derriere, butt, tooshie... read more

This is a great show to go see. It is fun and energizing and I love the music. I have been three times in the last six years. The first time was obviously the best, since everything was new and exciting. The second time was really cool too, since it had been a few years and I went with someone who had never been before. But last year my friend and I went again, and it wasn't as great. It was the same show, but after seeing it twice, you don't really need to see it again. I wish they would put together a new show so that I can go back again. read more

I got pulled on stage by one of the 'blue men"!! I was freaking out and my knees were shaking so bad, but I still managed to have a great time and go along with it. There was a group of 6 of us and we all loved it. Of course they were all making fun of me so that may have added to the excitement of it all. The music was great! It is so well orchestrated and it wakes you up!!! I would highly recommend taking people. I promise, you'll never see anything like this! read more

The best show ever!!! I has such a great time, I laughed so hard i was not expecting the show to be so good!. I recommend this show ot anyone even if you are shy or what not this is the place to be on a saturday night. I probably wont go back for another year or two because i want them to do new stuff but it was GREAT! My fiance & I can't stop talking about it! We had an absolute blast. There is parking right across the street for $20 for the entire day! The Charles PLayhouse is a kind of wierd place & i did think it would be a lot bigger. My only complaint is, i was sooo hott! and the seats are way to close together. Get there early so you can sit in the lounge and have a few drinks they start seating a 1/2 hour before the show. Trust me bring someone for their birthday or in my case your anniversary you will enjoy yourself. read more

A fun show. We got 1/2 price tickets through BosTix. I don't think its really my scene. There was a lot of waiting to see what they were going to do next. The suspense was fun, but then they would eat a twinkie, or show a film about cell phones. It was interesting and entertaining, but I was really glad we got the tix for half price. Perfect for a group and if you've had a few drinks first. The first 6 rows are "poncho" seats. If you've never been, you should check it out. You might really love it as much as most of the other audience members around me. read more

this show is so sucky. It might have been popular in nyc for a few days but this crap totally overstayed it's welcome. Hated it. Go next door and see Shear Madness, much more entertaining! one star for making me realize how lame this thing really is. read more

Do you know that Orange heads existed even before Yelp was born, or for that matter even before the "Series of tubes" called Internet became hugely popular? The so called Orange men used to appear as part of the Pepsi Mirinda commercials in India a number of years ago. The first time I saw them, I thought nothing big about them, probably just a marketing gig. Years later, when I saw the blue heads being advertised in the US my first reaction was "Blue colored soda?!*Puke* These Pepsi boys are really crazy". Then when I was told to look at the ad closely, I knew for the first time that the blue heads are part of the Blue Man Group. So fast forward a couple of years, and for a evening when I did not want to do anything but just have a few laughs I decided to go to the Charles Playhouse to finally see the Blue Man Group. If you visit the website, it leads to Ticketmaster to purchase the tickets. But I read that tickets can also be bought on the day of the show for a reduced price at Bostix booths. The theater is a small place, with a lounge on the ground floor. Drinks are permitted in the seating area to which you are guided by friendly staff who remind you with every breath that you take that talking pictures is not permitted at any time during the show. I got the balcony seats right in front of the stage and sometimes found it uncomfortable to watch with the guard rails sticking right in the middle. I noticed that few people on the blacony seats to the sides of the stage often were standing up and watching the show. You may be better off avoiding them or choosing seats in the orchestra section, some of which is part of the ponto section. Just before the show begins the staff give you streams of paper that for some reason tied around their heads. I tried to do a karate style know but failed miserably much to the amusement of the some of them (I can make people laugh too) Without giving too much about the show, just remember that it is visually appealing and the music is nice and heavy with the drums [Damn I want to learn to play them now :( ]. The humor like I had mentioned is very simple, little actions that we would have absolutely cracked up watching a cartoon do. If you are in the poncho section, BEWARE !!! those plastic coats they give you are not for you to look like a clown. Expect things spraying out in a sudden when you least expect it. The funniest part, and which I wish would happen during every show is when people walk in late. You will have your 15 seconds of f(sh)ame if you decide to do it. The other best part has to be the final 15 minutes. You will think that you are in some club in downtown Prague dancing to some Techno music. It is brilliant. The mess that you will create in the end is simply too good. Also really enjoyable is when the Blue Men decide to p*** ...decide to play along. All in all it was a fun evening. I totally loved it, and would go again ! read more

The Blue Man Group is a favorite of mine. I have seen them three times now, and even though the show does not change much over the years, I've enjoyed it immensely each time. They vary their scenes between music and light shows, and funny interactions with each other and audience members. I prefer the latter type of scenes, but still enjoyed the music and lights. What they do is so amazing and unique that it's always a treat to see them. I hope they keep doing what they do for a long time! Only giving four stars out of five because when I went this past weekend, my parents were chosen to participate in the show, and weren't really told what they were going to do until they had already agreed to it. They enjoyed participating but ended up having to sit in some not-so-great seats while waiting for their scene - not the seats they had paid for. read more

What a fun, clever show. The humor was appealing to us adults as well as the teenagers we brought. Love the iPhone stuff, which shows they update the show from time to time! read more

You need to see this show at least once in your life and it's great for all ages. I have a hard time explaining what Blue Man Group is all about- humorous, entertaining, unique, creative and fun. They really know how to interact with the audience and the venue is small enough that there really isn't a bad seat in the house. Do yourself a favor if you decide to go- don't do any research or look up information about it, go in with an open mind and you're sure to have a blast! read more

I lived in Vegas and never saw the Blue man group and did not even consider seeing it while in NYC but, luckily Boston is so boring in the evening that I was able to make time for this and I am glad I did it in Boston. I really like the small venue and even though it is little childish I thought it was pretty funny and worth taking anyone young and old to see. The crowd energy was really low when I went and I bet seeing it with a more awake crowd would of been much cooler. Make sure to shop online for special, I found a coupon code for $40 off while just hunting online for a code. read more

I got my tickets from Bostix for a really good price and the seats were awesome. It was my first time seeing the Blue Man Group this past weekend and it was a lot of fun. I appreciated the audience interaction and found that the performers were great to watch. Would definitely recommend for others to experience the fun! read more

Took some friends and family here and it was a total hit! Loads of fun, laughs and great beats!!

The antithesis of highbrow art: Twinkies, toilet paper, karaoke -- and obviously, the most fun you'll ever have at the theater.

A japanese proverb: You are a fool if you never climb Mount Fuji, and you are a fool if you climb it twice. I am a fool. I have seen it before, a 5, and went back, a 2. +1 star for letting you take drinks in to the show from their bar. -1 star, recording without much notice. +1 star for being very good for high school kids. Great really, kool, the bee's knees, quite charming, that's what they say, righto kiddio? Otherwise, it's just reasonable mime, or so they say. Our kid thought the 'party' at the end was kind of cool. read more

They didn't cancel the show in Boston on Saturday for the blizzard, and they won't even refund the people who couldn't go. Boooo!!! I guess you shouldn't buy tickets with this uncertain weather, as even if there is an official state of emergency declared, they won't exchange or refund your tickets. People in Boston beware! read more

Oh my god. This show is absolutely amazing! It's very interactive too! My fiance and I went to yesterday's show at 2pm and both of us got to do things with the blue men! It's kind of crappy you can't take at least one photo but hey what can ya do. We definitely are going to be bringing any out of towners to see this. I'm just sorry it took us so long to actually go! read more

The blue man group has been around for a while but I've never been. It was an awesome show. Small theater which was nice - was able to comfortably have a drink prior to the show. read more

two words AWESOME PERFORMANCE!!! it's definitely worth seeing and is a great performance. Good tip is to get seats behind the Poncho Section because you get a great up close view without getting wet. read more

As many have said this show is fun but can get boring and has morphed over time from a very musical show to a very clowning show. I'm a percussionist who enjoys great drumming. This show used to be that a few years ago. There is now sparse drumming, with a repeat of the "paint on the drums" segment about three times. The show does have some good visual effects and will entertain families with kids. But from a musical standpoint it's falls a bit short. Much prefer Stomp or Blast!. read more

It had been a few years since I had been to see Blue Man Group here in Boston and took my husband over Father's Day weekend. The renovated theatre made the Charles Playhouse almost unrecognizable on the inside and it was nice to be able to grab a drink before the show in the updated bar. We don't get a chance to get out much and this really was a perfect outing. My husband laughed the whole time, even though this was our third time seeing the show. The new skits were great and really added some fun new suprises. All in all, if you haven't been to Blue Man Group in a while, nows the time to go back! SPOILER ALERT: The big colored beach balls at the end of the show were also a cool addition (although, we did miss the original song :) ) read more

Blue Man Group is something that should be on everyones bucket list! Loads of fun for both kids and adults! The Charles Playhouse is a small theatre that gives you a very personal and intimate feeling that adds to the overall experience. We will be going again and maybe making it an annual family tradition! read more

YEOW! What a show! The performers were talented and professional. The special effects were more than spectacular. If in the mood for some an intense adolescent experience, definitely put this show on the list! read more

One of the funniest shows I've seen. The smartly wacky humor along with innovative and inventive music creates a huge winner.

Took my Boyfriend for his Birthday for the first time!!!! (This was my second time!) He had the time of his life!!! They had his name up on the LED screen and he was so excited. The entire crowd screaming his name and singing to him and than making fun of him. He was acting like a 5 year old. The show itself was awesome. We were right in the front row and got picked to be in the show and we loved every minute of it. We definitely can't wait to go back. Blue Man Group is amazing..You have to see it..at least TWO times! read more

My boyfriend and I went to see Blue Man Group last Valentines day. We both thought it was pretty cool. The things they do are pretty amazing. You do get squirted with stuff....that night it was banana's (maybe its always bananas) so put the trash bag type thingy over yourself and any part of your clothing that you may want to protect. Unfortunately banana dried on my boots and is still very hard to come off! read more

This show is so much fun! There is never a dull moment. The blue men are so energetic and I love it when they go into the crowd. I still don't know how the performers can keep a straight face. I'm a fan of the marshmellow and cereal portions of the show! read more

Venue was smaller, but intimate. Great throughout, but splash zone was awsome. Very entertaining.

So much fun. Went w husband and 11 year old. We laughed a lot!! They are a bit freaky to look at and each segment was a tiny bit too long. Other than that, we absolutely loved it!! read more

Seeing "Blue Man Group" live is a thoroughly unique experience - it's indescribable and highly recommended! They revamp the show every few years but always include a few signature bits, so definitely bring your out of town guests here again and again. Insider's tip: to score cheap seats for Blue Man either flash your student ID or volunteer to usher. read more

Every Bostonian has seen this amazing production. If you haven't, then you should. It is completely AWESOME experience (I mean you will definitely be full of awe!) OHH, be forewarned try not to sit in the first couple of rows 'cause you might be suprised!! heheeh read more

Lots of fun and difficult to describe to others. Kind of a comedy/drumming show with lots of skits. Great for a crowd in their 20s-30s.

Amazing show! Front row is amazing! Its too bad they only switch up their act once in a great while. It'd be awesome if they changed yearly, Id love to see them once a year read more

ummmm.... AWESOME. Nothing else to say except FANTASTIC, INCREDIBLE, and MARVELOUS.

The staff here was so accommodating and helpful that it truly made our experience. Visiting Boston with two children under 6. We bought tickets through Goldstar so the seats were on the side but still not a bad view. Our children wanted to go and liked the videos they saw before but then our youngest got scared outside the theater. Starting there the security staff was helpful in trying to comfort and talk to him. So we went in and then he got scared again. They play it on a screen outside by the bar so that was an option but even better we were able to watch from the balcony as it was not filled. This helped him overcome a slight fear and go on to enjoy the show. They checked on us and were nothing but genuinely kind. The show itself was interactive, funny and creative. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. read more

This is the best production that I have ever seen. I've seen BMG in Las Vegas and in Boston (3x). I wish that they added a few new things over the span of years that I've attended the shows, but it is still wonderful entertainment. read more

The wife having been to see the show three times had kept silent over what goes on and thankfully she did! We took our daughter for her birthday to a 10pm showing and it was FANTASTIC! I'd always been a little disturbed by the whole blue thing and really didn't think that I'd ever go, but I'm sure glad I did, I really really did enjoy it, and so did the rest of the family. As mentioned elsewhere the theater is very intimate and I thought that added to making the show even better. It was truly a great evening! read more

It was a good time, it went by fast. Very entertaining and funny. Both my wife and I enjoyed it. We are thinking of taking are teenage children read more

The problem with Blue Man Group is that the show never changes. It is the same thing every single time. Granted the Boston version finally altered the theme about a year or two ago to incorporate some new things. The thing was BMG had been doing the same act in Boston for a little over ten years. Does this mean we have to wait another ten years for the act to get a new visual or two? Something tells me Blue Man Groups days in Boston are numbered. Don't get me wrong I love the show. I have seen it multiple times. But sooner or later they are going to wear out their audience unless they find a way to vary the act on a frequent basis. In the meantime if you have not checked out Blue Man Group before then what are you waiting for. Buy some tickets! read more
