I always wanted to come to Blue Man Group back in the day when it was advertised to the point of torture on the boob tube. I don't know why I never came, too expensive, the hassle of dealing with Universal, I was in a different mindset in my life and just never went, I guess. Well, my wife the event planner asked me what I wanted for my Birthday and I told her I wanted to go to the Blue Man Group, so that's just what we did. We went with a group of 20 people, some of who were also celebrating birthdays, which made the whole thing that much more fun.
Tickets were $70 a pop, so it's on the pricy side. Drinks and snacks are also pricy. We purchase two Coke Zero's and it came to $14, Yay! It's super hot in FL now so be prepared to sweat a bit while waiting to get through security and standing-by inside lobby, it's a bit of a tight squeeze and can be uncomfortable when it's a mad rush to hurry-up-and-wait.
You have assigned seats, and staff do a great job helping everyone find their seat. guests have a decent view of everything going on from anywhere in the audience, so not a big deal if you're not right up front. You might not want to be up front anyways especially since there is some liquids and other debris flying around during the show.
I enjoyed the show, it had everything that make a show great - action, comedy, audience interaction and involvement, excellent live music, and a unique story.
The show could have been better. Like my wife mentioned in her review there were times where they could have incorporated more drumming scenarios, music, or even a magic show. One of my favorite highlights from the show was the one Blue Man catching all those marshmallows in his mouth and making an art piece out of it; it was hilarious. I also got a great chuckle when they were eating the Capital Crunch cereal and making a huge mess; very memorable.
If they change the show up periodically with different scenarios and skits I would come again; however, if it's the same show back-to-back, Year-over-year, I don't think I would pay the $70 to come back again. If we were to revisit, I would be on the lookout for deals or Groupon's just because It's pricey for what it is. Regardless, if you're looking for something fun to do while in Orlando, I would recommend checking them out just see if you can get a package deal with Icon Park or another discount provider. read more
