Blue Man Group Tour

Posted by Chad Criswell Oct 17, 2006

I went out and bought my tickets tonight for Blue Man Group's How To Be A Megastar Tour when it comes to Hilton Colleseum in Ames next month. Several years ago my wife and I attended a performance in Chicago at the Briar Street Theater and had an absolute ball. Sitting only two rows back from the action we were in what was considered to be the splatter section and provided with plastic ponchos to keep us from getting too messy. Now, at the Tour show my tickets are not as great, nearly at the back of the stadium, but I have to say that I am still looking forward to it with much anticipation.

Blue Man is more than just a sideshow act in my opinion. The music is addicting, the antics on stage are hilarious, and overall the concept for the show has always been refreshing. I had never been at a concert like it before and have eagerly awaited the opportunity to see it again. I'll let you know my opinion of the show after it rolls through central Iowa next month, but all indications are that this high intensity show will be every bit as fun as the more cramped confines of the Briar Street Theater. Will it be worth the hefty price tag? We'll wait and see.
