They put on a better show than I thought they would. Sat in the front row. Loved it! Heads up, it can get loud but it was a ton of fun for the youngest of our party (18 years old) and the oldest of our party (62 years old)!!

Blue Man Group really lived up to its reputation. It was super hip and loads of fun. I went with my 11 yo daughter who loved it as well. Only warning would be for younger children - it was really, really loud. I know that my 9 year old would have hated that.

I have been to many acts, plays and performances living in Chicago, but the Blue Man Group is one of my personal favorites!

Would give blue man group five stars, except for the massive migraine headache I got in the middle of the night which I blame o. Those flashing lights. Pricey experience,.

This was a flat out bore. I thought it was beyond corny and I even found myself closing my eyes at one point. There were a couple of kind of cool parts, like the music with paint, but for the most part I think I could have skipped it. There was one particularly painful portion involving cell phones that was... More

Took my 18 year old granddaughter to a weekday matinee. Bought tix the day before so our seats were in a terrible view point. The theatre was filled with school groups. That said its still a good show, this was my 3rd time to see them and will go back but with better planning. Inspiring and fun.

My husband and I went to see Blue Man Group during our anniversary week in Chicago. We selected the option for the dinner package with Jack's on Halstead. It was great. The Blue Men are so funny and dinner was great.

They keep it fresh and the creativity of the music, visuals and even participation is just stunning. They use strobes sometimes, so I am not joking when I give the seizure advice. It is fun for the entire family, a single, a date, a group, etc.

Its one of the things that is hard to expalin just what the Blue man group show is. It s however very entertaining the Briar Street theater is a good size, probably no bad seats. They give you rain cover sheets in the first few rows, so avoid that area. The Blue man do come into the crowd also as... More
