Blue Man Group

It's art, it's music, it's interactive, it's incredible!
I'll admit that this show isn't for everyone... but if you can see all the subtle messages, the sheer intricacies of the performance, the ideas, the effort that went into this show, you will truly enjoy it.
Percussion, or something with a beat, has always been something I loved. Any concert involving some drum set, I swear you'll catch me air-drumming :D
Anyways, this show is special because it'll mock "extreme-contemporary" art and introduce completely unique and refreshing perspective on how art is made. They also made amazing use of the Briar Street Theater, Chicago... definitely an achievement from an artistic perspective: the use of the space/the medium.
By the way, here's my gentle plug: Blue Man Group performs in New York City, Chicago, Boston, and Las Vegas.

**some spoilers starting here**
The show starts off with the three blue men silhouetted against a screen, playing drums, with comical elements. They have a lot of endurance and skill and throughout the performance, they can convey emotion without speaking a single word. They may be blue but if you can see the expression in their eyes, you'll know exactly what they're thinking.
They completely meld and redefine art and music at the same time. The three sets of pipes intricately intertwined with a variety of colours at different lengths allow the three to produce their own music as well as play contemporary rock (Devo and Madonna). The set of pipes were art producing music - the concept blows me away - who would've thought a set of pipes could do so much?!
Some of the things play against contemporary media and culture as well. It's funny because I can totally relate to how they metapop the "rock concert movements". The fish sequence was a great explanation of how artistic expression has evolved. And the use of whipped cream smoothed over glass to present a historical and comical aspect of art history was completely original (ok... not a lot of history but the idea is amazing). The use of Cap'n Crunch as a medium of ... percussion? Who thinks this stuff up :)
The climax of the show was when they started pulling rolls of white streamers/tissue paper from the rear of the theater and the audience's job was just to pull them all the way to the front. It's interactive art with the open-spaced dreamy dance rhythm playing loudly in the background. It felt like rushing water over you and you're trying to breathe. If you're under it, your arms get tired from struggling; if you're above the never-ending streams of white, the ultra violet light shows a beautiful scene... people laughing, music playing, and you can catch your breath and take in the colours all around. It's an experience. And it's up to you whether you think the whole thing is entirely ridiculous... or you can make it fun! That's why it's interactive... and it'll show you how open-minded you are.
The show was simply amazing although I admit the blue men do look kinda scary.

On top of all that, someone proposed right before the show. They sat next to JJ. I have never witnessed a public proposal... it's quite something... but not for me.

So if you haven't seen Blue Man Group, it's definitely worth checking out but you have to go with an open mind in order to appreciate the art, the music, and the culture that makes this performance so spectacular.
