Blue Man Group Reviews

The Boston Globe - Highly Recommended

"...Fans can still expect to see the iconic Blue Men jam out with funky instruments like PVC pipes or Chapman Sticks, however the production was updated to include new screen installations and immersive video experiences, plus elements of electronic dance music, which are showcased heavily in the new finale."

Boston Herald - Highly Recommended

"...Boston theater staple Blue Man Group revised and reimagined much of the show last fall. My editor thought I should check it out. What could go wrong? From the moment the lights dimmed, the production's unpredictable energy and the performers' extraordinary blend of comedy, music, and art created an unforgettable experience."

The Arts Fuse - Somewhat Recommended

"...The emergence of fatigue leads to what is missing from the "new" version of this show: a sense of innocence. As I recall, from attending a performance in what seems like a lifetime ago, is that the Blue Men of yore exhibited more of a sense of wonder. There were dramatic expressions of child-like discovery as they examined with intense curiosity, tubes and other plastic devices, exploring them in scenes that resembled how the apes behaved in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. What are these strange devices and how do they work? That attempt to pull us in, to suggest these are 'creatures from another world,' is pretty much gone. The Blue Men are there to amuse themselves and us. That's the script. They just get to it. It's all mayhem, all the time."

New England Theater Mirror - Highly Recommended

"...Yet, the show remains true to its core, despite the addition of many AI, A/V, and audience participation bells and whistles. Still a euphoric celebration of human connection through art, music, comedy and non-verbal communication, the show features its signature magic of the three bald and blue men who explore today's cultural norms with wonder, poking fun at the audience's collective quirks and reminding them how much they all have in common."

The New England Theatre Geek - Highly Recommended

"...Blue Man Group retains its popularity because it offers a glimpse into the universal experience of human awkwardness. We've all felt awkward entering a new social or cultural situation at one time or another. The Blue Man Group elevates it to a group setting with bubbles and confetti. The show may have upgraded with new material, but it remains an elevated and unique theatre adventure."

Broadway World - Highly Recommended

"...Now the Blue Men, always the egalitarians, tote hand-held paper cannons throughout the theater, as colorful confetti falls from the rafters, ensuring that everyone gets in on the action and proving that their unique brand of mirth and merriment still has a home in Boston."
