i've seen it 3 times in two city sover the last 6 yrs. the most recent was a few mths ago. I was happy to see that they changed a fair portion of it from the first time i saw it 6 yrs ago, but over all it was very similar. I dunno, i dont think i'd want to see it again for another 8yrs or so. It's worth seeing... once.. Just some of the prerecorded tape is just so obivous that it kills some of the fun i guess.

Where is my fizzy-lifting drink?

I did. I enjoyed the show. I felt I was in a party at a cool disco with performers.
I wouldn`t have payed what it costs. It`s not that of amaizing..
They are really good musicians, though! Verey creative performers.

In general:
The show sounds nice. Funny at times. Eye catching. I give it 3 stars!!:P

Yea, go see it. I saw them in Vegas and it was a great show.



Yep Vegas is the only show that's different too. Caught them in Beantown and Vegas. Vegas one was seriously kick ass. Beantown was awesome too, but after Vegas it was very apparent how much better the Vegas one was.

OH NO - You did not say Vegas was better than Boston?

The show is the same script, plus or minus some things... But the Boston show was definitely lower budget - which MADE IT BETTER...

1) More intimate
2) Less commercial
3) More raw

Granted, I saw them a few years ago in each city, so they might have made changes...

There is this scene that they show the modern sewage system on the video screen - with comedic dialog. In Boston, the video projector was an old three gun CRT, not converged real well. Basically, the image was fuzzy with green halos on one side, red on the other...

The theatre was kind of dirty and old, with character.

I just liked it so much better in that atmosphere, it made the show raw and personable - not perfected and sculpted...

Like a live concert, with human characteristics.

Vegas was still very good, but kind of covered in the commercialism that you would expect with a casino that, like all do, fine the theatre company if the show runs long and the patrons are not at the gaming tables...

I would buy a ticket to Boston just to see the show there again.

I think I am going to go play some Blue Man music now...
