Blue Man Group at Monte Carlo Las Vegas

Tap. Tap. Snap. Snap. Boom. Boom. Crash. Crash.

Can you repeat that?

Do you want to repeat that?

You will.

You'll raise your hands for no apparent reason and you'll practice those beat box sounds that you had long abandoned. You might squirm in your seat with a need to feel the rhythm. You'll wiggle your toes as you whistle and you'll consider experimenting with paint, PVC pipe and drum sticks.

The Blue Man Group is contagious. Their brand of entertainment is enthralling. It works for any age as long as you are not opposed to loud music, rhythmic chanting and loud surprisingly addictive beats. You’ll be entertained by audience participation and engaging segments of the show that require you to be involved.

The Experience
Before the show even starts you’ll experience the percussion dance. It’s not called that but that is what it is. A parade of sound. A line of motion. Imagine a centipede with musical instruments moving along and getting you prepared for what is in store for you once the curtain goes up. Look up, look around and try not to blink. You’ll read, you’ll listen and you’ll infer. Make sure to seek out the details and be prepared to laugh at yourself and other people.

Who Will Go
The Blue Man Group is one of those shows that works for the entire family. Each of my children has seen the show on numerous occasions from the time they were 5 years old. Teenagers enjoy the show as well as couples on a date. I would say that the only group that has a tendency to not enjoy the show as much is the older crowd. A lot older. Flashing lights, loud music. Repetitive rhythms. At times the theater looks and feels like a Las Vegas nightclub. While that is a generalization it really only applies to a small segment of the population. Stand outside of the show as people are leaving and you see the giggling, the smiles and the head bobbing.
