The Blue Man Group came to Kingsbury Hall. Scott was dead set on going and I will have to admit I wasn't against it. Scott even offered to invite my mom, what a sweetie.
This act is a lot like STOMP and if I was honest, while the Blue Man Group was fun, STOMP was just a little better. It was more creative and organic. To be critical there were a few too many awkward pauses in the show that lasted too long. I found my attention wandering just a little. As with most of these kinds of things the last act was pretty sweet.
One very funny/disgusting part was the "nice" Italian dinner. They took someone out of the audience and set her down give her an apron and treat her to a nice dinner of. . . Twinkies. They are aliens so they were trying to figure out how everything works and of course they loved jello. Not to eat it, but watch it jiggle. After they try to impress her with little things the audience member finally shows them how to open the Twinkies. Then the extra fun begins. How does one eat a Twinkie. After many funny antics they start to eat little by little with a fork and knife cutting it up in small pieces. 2/3rds of the way through dinner one of the aliens pukes out of his chest chewed up twinkie. It is disgusting and hilarious all at the same time. He scoops it up and eats it offering it to the audience member. She politely declines. After just a moment her apron beings to spurt out chewed up twinkie. It totally takes us all by surprise including her. Such laughter. After the dinner scene a take out box emerges, they scoop up the chewed up twinkie and offers her the box. She happily accepts and heads back to her seat.
The music was fun and the end was a party. The last act was the Blue Men hosting a rock concert. The whole audience must stand on its feet and do the different dance moves, the final move. . .shake your booty. They had so many words for this turn of phrase it was admirable. Then they turned up the heat, brought out the big balls threw them into the audience. There was flashing lights, silly string spraying everywhere and what looked like rolls of toilet paper being blown here and there. Quite exciting!
