11/9/16: Blue Man Group Celebrates 25 Years

We love going to fun shows and exposing the kids to new things.  Last weekend we went to Blue Man Group at the Charles Playhouse in Boston.  It was amazing to find out that Blue Man Group is celebrating their 25th Anniversary on November 17th!  In fact from now thru November 17th they will be doing giveaways via Twitter at @BMGBoston so make sure to follow them so you can learn how to win.

In addition to the daily giveaways, Blue Man Group Boston will offer a limited number of $25 tickets to each show up to November 17th. These special tickets can be accessed under the Special Offers Section of their website.  Use promo code 25BDAY when purchasing online or at the Charles Playhouse Box Office to access this limited number of tickets per performance.

Blue Man Group is really hard to explain and to be honest I wouldn't want to give away what happens in the show but it is a lot of fun!  It includes comedy, theater, rock concert and a dance party all in one!  This will not be a show to bore the kids.  Remember that if you are in the front set of rows there are plastic parkas on the seats as something may fly out at you.  We were in the first row without the parkas.  The theater is on the smaller side so every seat is a great seat!

Plus the show is continually refreshed with new music, fresh stories, custom instruments and state-of-the-art technology.  It is so amazing that a show with no words spoken is so mesmerizing to adults and kids alike.

The anniversary show on November 17th will also have a celebratory theme with a lot of surprises in store.  In true Blue Man spirit, they don’t want to divulge their plans and ruin the surprise for their guests.  Make sure to head to the downstairs lounge after the school to meet the Blue Men themselves!

They even have a book coming out called "Blue Man World".  It is a deep dive into the world of the Blue Men.  It answers the questions Who are these Blue Men? Where do they come from? Why are there only three of them? What drives their curiosity? What do they hope to accomplish?

For more information about Blue Man Group, visit https://www.blueman.com/ or call 1.800.BLUEMAN.  The show has no intermission and runs about an hour and 40 minutes.  Here is a quick preview of what to expect:

7/22/13: Blue Man Group High Energy Fun in Boston

We are always looking for cool shows to go to with the kids.  Honestly, nothing gets cooler than Blue Man Group at the Charles Playhouse.  I went to this show many years ago but now I wanted to take the kids and see what they thought.  They absolutely LOVED it!  Here are the blue men...oh wait that is Evan and Lauren waiting for the show.

Blue Man Group combines music, technology and comedy and is beyond explanation.  The show is more of an full experience that has you transported to a different type of theater experience than anything else.  No words are spoken during the entire show but through facial expressions and music and cool technology the Blue Men communicate with the audience.  I really don't want to share too much about the actual show as it is best to be surprised but I will say that they are lucky Twinkies are back on the market.

In the rows close to the stage there were plastic parkas on the seats so that these audience members didn't get sprayed with anything.  We were lucky to be a few rows beyond the splash zone.  Keep this in mind when buying tickets.  The theater is small so any seat is a great seat.  Who knows you might even get pulled up on stage to be in the show.

A huge highlight for the kids was the dance party at the end of the show.  This was the only time I could take out my camera and take a few pictures.  The party is all around you with glowing balls flying through the air and toilet paper flying.

Both kids were loving this part of the show.

The balls are huge and the kids were having fun hitting them around.

It is truly awesome and so much fun to go to this show.  I highly suggest taking the family.  We went to a 2:30 show and it was perfect.  The show has no intermission and runs about an hour and 40 minutes.

Here is a quick preview of what to expect:

Here is the band after taking donations for the Aids foundation after the show.

You can park at the Stuart Street Garage for up to five hours Monday-Friday after 4 PM, and anytime during the weekend.  It is only $10 and you just need to pick up a validated ticket at the Charles Playhouse box office.

Get your blue on and go see the show!
