THE BLUE MAN GROUP

CHASE AWAY THESE WINTER BLUES

Last night my husband, stepdaughter and I went to see the Blue Man Group for the first time. I had no idea what to expect but was looking forward to going. All I can say is that I laughed more last night than I have laughed in a long time. The show was wonderful and I even got to be a star for a night when I was unexpectedly pulled up on stage to perform in a skit. I am not formally promoting this show but what I am promoting is going out and spending time with family doing something different and fun. Instead of complaining about the weather outside, find some terrific things to do inside together; play board games, go to a movie, a museum or play, etc. Just enjoy each other and before we know it spring will arrive!!!!

In case any of you are interested in the Blue Man Group. The article below is from wikipedia.com:

Blue Man Group (Blue Man, BMG) is a creative organization founded by Phil Stanton, Chris Wink, and Matt Goldman; it is centered on a trio of mute performers, called Blue Men, who present themselves in blue grease paint and wear latex bald caps and black clothing. Blue Man Group's theatrical acts incorporate rock music (with an emphasis on percussion), odd props, audience participation, sophisticated lighting, and large amounts of paper. It is also noted for having a "poncho section" of the audience; in the front rows, audience members are provided with plastic ponchos in order to protect them from various food, substances, paints, and so on, which get thrown, ejected, or sprayed from the stage. The shows are family-oriented, humorous, energetic and often employ thought-provoking satire on modern life. Some of the humor breaks the fourth wall, for example, interrupting the show to ridicule latecomers in the audience.
