Reviews of Blue Man Group Chicago
We saw Blue Man Group in Chicago last night.
I did not expect to be sooo entertained.
The music is fantastic and the actors are incredibly good at performance art.
The show is about creating art and performing art and music with everyday items , visual multi-media art that entertains all ages.
The children (and there were lots of them) in the audience loved it, as well as the adults.
Audience participation is the key! It was so much fun! If you are approached to participate in the show, make sure that you do so,
Wear white if you can, you will glow in the dark!
Truly unique entertainment, we thoroughly enjoyed it.
And last of all, go see the show and have fun!
We loved our experience went with the Hubby and 15 yr old son ! They are Very interactive with the audience 🧡 Recommend for all ages.. enjoyed the Blue Mans performance and especially loved the band 🎼🎸🥁 They have a bar if you arrive early 🥂 They won’t allow you to go into the actual theater to be seated until 20 mins before the show. They do need proof of vaccine cards and will accept a picture of vaccine card. They have a small parking lot right next to the building but fills up fast so you need to arrive at least 30 mins before to get good parking. Parking is $17 Show lasted about an hour and 40 mins
I bought tickets to the show as a surprise for my boyfriend. Although I had been to the show once a long time ago it was an awesome experience for the both of us. It's very interactive which gives the element of surpise as the audience members add their special touch to the show. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves.
One thing I didn't like is we arrived about 10 minutes late and we were told we had to wait for 10 minutes before we were directed to our seats so as to not be a distraction to the show. If I'm not allowed to my seats for about 20 minutes I would expect to be compensated for not being able to use the seats I paid good money for. I was not warned about this.when I purchased the ticket so I didn't find it fair.
We had the best time seeing Blue Men. Never had seen them before but heard so much about them. The show began with so much humor without even speaking, and ended with my stomach soar and cheeks hurting...but well worth it. I have not laughed so much in so long. The men had a story that you could understand and follow, while crying in laughter. Their eyes and movements tell the whole story. The music and tri KS were phenomenal. Never seen so much talent. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND all to see the Blue Men. Get ready to laugh yourself silly.
The show changes up a bit to keep things fresh but also keeps in some of the favorites. Just make sure you don't show up late - or maybe not. ;)
The first couple rows are reserved for the splash zone but ponchos are provided.
This was the fourth time I've seen Blue Man Group (second time in Chicago) and I think the Chicago theater has the best sound. It is a smaller theater making it so there is no bad seat in the house.
We went to the 2pm show, its was very entertaining and funny!! They pulled my son on stage, he was nervous. They 'married' him off to another audience member after a short funny courtship of a improv phone call, exchange of gifts (to include pink handcuffs) and a game of Twister. They interact with the audience member. So many visual effects (paint splatters) and the music they made with unusual items was uniquely artistic.
The staff and security were extremely helpful. I would highly recommend!
Tip: Don't be late, you might get a spotlight on you!!
Also, all seats are great seats, because they come out to the audience...but your chances of getting pulled onstage greatly increases if you have seats near the aisle, ask my son, he even asked me after he got back from being 'married', did you have something to do with this...if only I could take the credit, Thank you Blueman Group for making this Chicago Trip a very memorable one!!
The blue man group was absolutely brilliant I love how funny/entertaining they are and they don’t even speak I was so excited when I got called up on stage to play the drums with them it was a very awesome experience. Just a heads up the first 3 rows are the poncho section and they provide them for you for free I definitely recommend the show
Last night was my first Blue Man group experience and these guys were awesome!!!! Funny as hell , well choreographed and executed!
To my surprise I was brought on stage 😱- to play along with these tin percussion instruments 🥁- (I’m a guitarist but I have some rhythm as I play drum pads for my songs - demos/ 😆- They didn’t know this- which made it even funnier PLUS I was so into I was unaware they put a mullet on my head and a cape 😂 ! - nonetheless it was the best time I had in a long time - thanks guys u rock!!!
Well worth it - GO SEEEEE THEM NOW!!!!!!!!!
You’re gonna love it!!!!!!!
Great show! I've seen this group before. Same but new stuff added to keep up with current date. I last went to this show in early 2000s with my children. Good as ever.
I wanted to get my wife tickets to see the BMG in Chicago for her birthday. I bought them on their website as advertised for $59.00/ea. I bought 2 tickets and when the credit card bill came with the fees that were tacked on the two tickets cost me $400.00. I've been to the show before and it was great. How do they get away with seeking in these charges?
My 5th time seeing them over the past 20 years. This time i brought my teenage son who's very picky and he absolutely had a great time.
Absolutely amazing
Proper for all ages!
You can go see this show with your friends or your date or your family or your coworkers!
The show was just a very amazing and stimulating and diverse audio, visual and comical experience!
The music was different and the visuals were great and the contents are all very original and fun to watch! Don't miss the opportunity and go watch them!
These guys were hilarious. Even their pre show stuff was so funny. They know how to use timing, include the audience, and make fun of things in such a perfect balance all without speaking one word which is incredible. Kids love it. Adults love it. Definitely go check it out!! (If you purchase on Groupon you get center seats while paying less than normal and every seat is a good seat)
It’s really hard to find things my 16 yr old son would enjoy and this was a hit! He was dancing around and giggling all night! Total win!
Totally beyond great. Didnt know much about this or what to expect. Went to a 5pm show, not heavily crowded. Face masks optional. The show was SOOOOO good. Sorry it tool so long to go. Definitely would go again. Be prepared for some audience participation
I can't even tell you how many times I have seen this show and it never gets boring. This time I was fortunate enough to bring my kids with me to experience it for the first time and they loved it.
First time I've attended a Blue Man show and I can tell you it was the highlight of my trip to Chicago. Just a fun and amusing show that is great for the whole family. Highly recommend.
It's an absolutely amazing spectacle!
My 11 and 12 year old boys were smiling and laughing and in awe the entire time.
Highly recommend!
It's a great show for kids. You need to be down in the orchestra area to enjoy it fully. Avoid the balcony.
It was a great experience. It was different. We liked it a lot, entertaining, interactive, unique and very creative. This a DO!!! Bring the family!! Price of refreshment only drawback.
This show was an experience I won't forget. I went to see them not knowing what to expect and every second of it was super fun and unique.
I was visiting Chicago & I was staying about 0.5 miles from Briar St theater so I decided to see the Blueman group. It was a nice show with lots of audience participation which made it fun. I had ticket for balcony but they allowed me to change to main floor for $10 extra. Show is only 1hour & 15 minutes so make sure to make it there on time because you don`t want to miss anything. Also, they show you on the big screen as a late arrival if you are late :) if you are staying in that I area I recommend it.
Never fails to entertain. Great show
So much fun for a group of family! Very interactive. Just had so much fun. Be careful if you sit close!
Post Covid show......good to go.
Previously, like most things, better
I couldn't take any pictures during the show cuz they asked you not to but if you ever want to see a show where you interact and have a fantastic time this is a show to go see. It's definitely for all ages
My husband and I went to one of the shows and we enjoyed it. We decided to be tourists for a night. Lol. The show lasted about 1.5 hours and I loved their was so much audience involvement. I would recommend this for the entire family. If you are going to bring young children, I would suggest ear protection for them. The show is loud.
Very cool and amazing experience I highly recommend to come to this show 👍👍👍 …
Love this show. Always entertaining and they do a really good job on involving the audience.
Vaccine card and ID checked @ the door. Spacious venue. Not a bad seat really. Blue Man Group was very entertaining. U r not allowed to take photos or any videos of the show. I guess that's the allure. They don't the audience to know what their gonna do. It was really fun.
These guys are incredible and worth every penny and some!!! I would strongly suggest to take your family, friends or even go by yourself!!!
This show is one for the ages and I mean all ages!!!
Their show is way much more than what you may see on a commercial and or advertisement. They do so many things and keep you on the edge of your chairs!!!
I truly like how their show involves the audience pretty much through out the hour and a half performance!!!
Excellent. Very wonderful audio and visual experience. If you have never been, I highly recommend it!
They have a bar that's open before and during the show.
They definitely partake with the crowd during the show.
Front row is recommended, don't bother with the ponchos. You might get hit with a little bit of water but not paint.
While I give 5 stars, to the folks who run the place: please upgrade the projectors you have. While the 90's video feel was cool, it is 2022. We have better picture on our handheld phones in our pockets. Also, rude security guard wouldn't let us take a picture literally a minute after doors closed. I was in the lobby waiting for my SO to get out of the bathroom and they closed the doors literally 2' away.
Also there were a number of kids too that just wouldn't shut up. I get it, it's a fun show, but let others enjoy it. Can the mgmt endorse this?
The gift shop could do better too.
Again, amazing performance.
Lastly, no photos as per establishment rules.
Great show. I really enjoyed the mix of comedy, music and audience interaction.
Amazing show. Fun music being made, and the looks the blue men tell a story of their own. Go if you can because this isn't something to miss!
I absolutely love Blue Man Group and one of my favorite locations is the Chicago show. It’s absolutely phenomenal! So stunning, full of color, and visually brilliant. A must see!
Awesome ...great entertainment..organized and no hiccups....totally recommend it
We have been to the Chicago Blue Man group a few times and it is always a good time. Children as well as adults live it.
First time bringing my family here with all my children and was so excited to enjoy this experience with them. Still weirdly and exciting to experience but also had some familiar moments. It has been updated to modern times, but still with classic vibes.
Maybe everyone knows this already but it’s the same exact show from 14 years ago….I hadn’t seen blue man group since 6th grade, I’m now 25 and thought why not go and see it again. I was baffled that the show hadn’t changed at all in 14 years. I guess it’s not a bad thing if you’d never saw the show but heads up for anyone who is a returning visitor. Other than that workers are nice and it’s still a cool experience.
Impressive and funny show, the people, the crew, the details... the show is interactive with the public and they give you a perfect performance.
This was my third time seeing them and they never disappoint.
I would like to recognize the manager, Justin at Briar Street Theater Chicago IL.
Had concerns about the stairs with an handicapped attendee. Justin accommodate not only that person but her whole family of 10, by relocating the group.
LOVED this show!!! Want to go back over and over again! Engaging, funny, talented actors, amazing musicians. Not sure why I never went sooner, but I want to take everyone to experience Blue Man Group’
Was a decent show ... I'm not sure if all venues are like this but it definetely wasn't as I expected. Old factory? Smell? Cold? Front row seats and sitting you could touch the dingy stage. Other then the building show was good.
Blue man's show was quite an experience for us and our two boys. The show is loud and has bright lights and is spontaneous like when someone came in late and the men started singing about theor tardiness and they had their 15 seconds of screen time.
Some part of the show is pure nonsense and somewhat disgusting like eating the twinkies and throwing up. The music/band is very good, the audience participated well when asked to and the show is ok if you have never been to one.
Cameras are allowed only before the show starts and the front benchers beware of splashing water and whatever else comes out of their costume.
Show was incredible. Getting in was chaotic and balcony seating was horrible. With over 100 seats empty on the floor I feel like those in the balcony should have been offered to move. For the price, balcony seating shouldn’t be sold at all. Almost half the stage was hidden with others trying to lean forward to see.
Loved the show cant wait to come back
This is such a fun evening. Kids especially, all ages. Its very interactive with the crowd, and you can just hear the laughing all around as they perform.
Unfortunately you can't take pictures, so I can't post anything but a must do.
The venue is small so all the seats are great.
So much fun. My son who is a percussionist in high-school was amazed
This show is always so much fun. For adults or kids. My 7 and 12 year old loved it. The energy and excitement and audience participation. Highly recommend!
What a show it was funny and weird and fun all at the same time..
We had never seen them before. It was not exactly what we were expecting, but entertaining. The show consist of small skits and percussion music. There is also a band that plays along with them. It's located in a small community theater, which was OK, but not great. Another thing was they were relentless about masks and went up to people thru out the show to tell them to wear theirs mask properly.
Excellent atmosphere. Nice little bar, reasonable drink prices. And great performance. Don't be late 😉 …
Was in front center felt like I was part of the show... I have seen it 3 time now and I have to say the best seats are 3 row to back middle. You can see more of the show front is great but you have to turn your head to see everything that's going on.
A great place to escape reality!!!
Loved it an will be going again!
Interesting experience definitely really unique if you've never gone would recommend to experience this for yourself
Great show, fun experience!
Very interactive and fun!! Totally recommend for a date night.
Great performace!!! Who knew you could have so much fun without one single word being said throughout the whole entire performance.
Impressive and funny show! This was my second time seeing them and they never disappoint. It is helpful to note that right now they are requiring either proof of covid vaccine or a negative test prior to entering. Make sure to double check their website to see what is valid for entry!
It was ok. I was falling asleep even though it was loud in there. It had some funny moments. My kids enjoyed it, so it was worth it for that. I probably wouldn't go again.
Too many people whipping out there their camera phones and taking video during the show
Very unique and fun show. Those guys are extremely talented and funny.
Just like the show in Vegas, only a bit more compact. Still just as entertaining and engaging and eccentric as always! 10/10!
I had a good time, and enjoyed the show, took my granddaughter here on her birthday....she wasn't pleased until the show started. They had audience participation and we all joined in. Good time.
First time seeing the show and I enjoyed it-- lots of excitement and unexpected aspects of the show. There were a few times that I felt as thought it might not be appropriate for kids under 12but all the kids there enjoyed it..especially the really really loud kids behind me...I ended up moving to another seat! All in all, I'm really glad I went to see the show.
Great experience and my kids loved it
We saw the Blue Man Group over spring break in Chicago, IL. Trying to find parking was very ugly, make sure you get there early to find a parking spot. We ended up several blocks away, but it's was nice out and found a cute shop on the walk so didn't mind. We got balcony seats, I was very pleased with them and enjoyed not being in the "splatter zone". There were no photos allowed during the performance but we took a few before the show. Music was great, I was worried the kids wouldn't like it but they all did. Very funny, and somewhat on the gross side of funny - again glad we were safe in the balcony. I wouldn't go again, but don't regret going. It was a great time and we had lots of fun, but once in a lifetime was enough. Very cool performance! Would recommend it.
Good show as always!
Very entertaining! The rhythm forces to keep the beat...drummer’s delight if a show.
Only seen these guys twice, but both times were amazing! The first time a few years ago, I went with my family, and we all had a blast. I went again this year on Valentine's Day with my girlfriend (great date idea) and undisappointedly, it was yet again a blast. They switch up the routine a bit, so it's never dull or repetitive, and they take special requests to personalize the show for a price. I'll definitely be coming back!
So much fun
If u are late to arrive they will call u out
And it's funny as heck
Loved this show! I also had the chance to see it years ago and it was just as fun and fresh this time! Plus, I brought my teenage niece who was in town for the weekend...she LOVED it, too, and was the hit of her social media circle that night.
I had a great time. They are very talented and hilarious. We plan to bring the entire family next time.
The show was incredible a must see
The better half and I went to this show for the first time. What can I say? Were we entertained? Yes we were. Did we expect more paint type things? Yes we did. But all in all we had fun, we were entertained. They have a decent crowd interaction also.
Have been waiting to see this, but never had the right opportunity. What a fun show! Was an excellent way to show my kid what performance art is and we had a great time.
The theater is small enough that all floor seats are fine and, bonus, my kid got to dance with a blue man!
Quite an...interesting experience. Never had seen or heard of the blue man group before. Never seen anything like it. Very entertaining and enjoyable, but very peculiar...I suppose I recommend it? Me and my mom had a good time.
Great show to see. Great entertainment throughout the whole show. Great interaction with the crowd! The price per ticket is pretty high so I'm thankful for groupon. We were in town for the 2018 Chicago pride festival and this location was in walking distance. I would go again for sure but next time with our kids.
Lots of energy and lots of fun. The area around the venue is nice as well.
We’ve seen them twice before and this show was not as good. Some of the skits were just plain dumb/pointless…like when they passed the box around. Time they created a different act. It’s like they’re trying to hard to the point it’s no longer funny.
Very fun. Lots of good humor. Please keep family friendly. So hard to find a show you can take 8-16 year olds to. My kids loved it. But please! DON’T take kids younger than 8. I saw kids under 5 and babies there. It’s often very loud. Parents might not be disturbed by their kids crying but don’t ruin someone else’s night.
I loved the Blue Man Group! Not only was the show captivating before it began, but the Blue Men were so sweet! It was an amazing experience and show! (Make sure to wear the ponchos if you're close to the stage though.. just to be safe ;) )
I went on with an organization to a touristic Chicago trip and this concert was basically the only memorable thing from the whole trip. I had an amazing time, I loved every moment of it, loved, loved LOVED. The performance was very impressive and hilarious, I can't remember a time I laughed that hard for so long, it was outstanding. If you're making a trip to Chicago or you're in the area I would highly HIGHLY recommend coming here, 20/10
4th time going (3rd in Chicago) over about 15 years. See the Vegas show if you're out there, it's higher budget. Knocked off a star for feedback from my kids, one of the scenes dragged out for a bit much. Still a phenomenal show. Keep in mind, this is an entertainment experience, not a concert. The 1 star reviews, they're simply too uptight or expecting a full concert.
Still a great show! Was the first time my kids seen it. My 14 year old LOVED IT (and he doesn't like much, like any teen). My other kids who are younger gave it 7 out of 10. Kids under 5 wouldn't get the humor.
Saw the show 20 years ago with my parents and tonight with my own kids. Still a treat and so entertaining. Kids are 6 & 7 and were in awe and engaged the whole 90 min. Great Chicago tradition!
Had literally a "BLAST" poncho seats 😊went with my son (he's autistic) he really enjoyed it the most... The sound wasn't a problem 🤗 Welcome back Blue Man Group …
fantastic show, kids and adults can have a great time during the show, it's like a family show, not a single word is used, but music and action can express everything. hope will come soon
High energy, heart pumping entertainment.
I never tire of this show!
Proof of vaccination or COVID-19 test required.
Amazing experience! This is my 3rd time seeing them over 16 years. My husband and I loved it so much this time we plan to come once a year! A must see for comedy and music and art lovers of all ages! (3 and under not attmitted....so all ages over that)
We didn't know what to expect, but it was a lot of fun. Great place for a date night and plenty of places to walk to thereafter. We were in the 3rd row and didn't get much except some banana puree on our ponchos. We went on New Year's Eve and I'd say it was still worth dressing up for even though you run the risk...
Very unique experience. I'm usually not into strange theater performances or comedy shows, but I was very entertained and had a lot of fun. I think everyone should see it at least once. The Blue Men are incredibly talented. One side note, bring cash because the bar doesn't accept cards.
This was a great show! It was my first time seeing them and I had a great time. I went with a friend of mine who had already seen them years ago and she mentioned it was the same material. My only suggestion would be to change their show a bit or to add different elements.
My girlfriend and I went to see this show over the past weekend and had a blast. I'd seen the show when I was a kid so it was great coming back to experience the positive energy all-over again. Great family environment and lots of laughs.
I enjoyed the show! Great for kids.
Amazing show, little too much crowd participation for my tastes though. All ages, tons of kids actually, but still a masterpiece of percussion.
I'd also say it's unlikely that I would see the show without the discount from Hot Tix.
Great show that you become part of
Show was alot of fun! I enjoyed watching the band also. Brought people on stage and came out into the seating area to find them. Literally walked on top of the seats thru the audience. No intermission. Be on time or everyone knows your late. Parking on the side of the theatre if you get there early enough. Doors to get seated open 15 minutes before the show. Do sell alcohol and drinks, cash only for that part.
The theater was easy to find and was a nice theater. We were a bit disappointed in the show. We like the group's signature performance of colored water bouncing off the drums but they only did 1 song near the end plus about 10 seconds early in the show. The sewer pipe marimba was pretty cool but there was a lot of corny audience interaction which took time away from what the group is known for. Some people seemed to love the show, a few others appeared ambivalent. It is all in personal taste. We were nervous about going into an unknown part of town but the area looked nice and we felt quite safe with all the people around.
What an absolutely great show. Was my first time and I had such an awesome time. Would love to go again.
I have seen them 2 times and both were great experiences for the entire family. Would 100%recommend.
Wonderful wonderful place!!!!!! An amazing show for all ages! The talent is incredible. Truly leaves you mesmerized. I've been here a little over 5 times now, and everytime is just wow. Please take anyone to this amazing production. 👐🏻👐🏻👐🏻 …
Loved the show! Wish our 6 year old was with us, she really would have enjoyed it as well. I like that it is aimed at all ages. Very entertaining.
Very entertaining most of the interaction takes place in the front half of the audience.
Always an awesome show!!! Highly recommend it
Excellent show! These guys did awesome and really interacted with the audience. They were funny and interesting. The lights are incredible (especially in the end). I recommend to anyone. Good job guys!
I went there with three teenagers, I am mid forties. To me the show was mediocre at best, and I was very disappointed with all the hype and the price of the tickets plus expensive parking.These three stars are not just one because the children were happy enough about the quality of the show. I don't think is age related, because my friend went not long before me, and she was excited and recommended this show. I can cross Blue Man Group out of my bucket list, I will never go to another show again, too much staring at each other suppose to be funniest thing in this show.
HIGHLY recommend if you’re in Chicago. It will be fun for anyone at any age. It was entertaining throughout the entire show! They were so interactive, talented and funny
Absolutely LOVED the show. Great for all ages as long as you don’t have epilepsy or get sensory overload easily because it is A LOT. But very very cool
A must go, the color calibration and the synchronization is just amazing.
Great theme going on for the act, the ambience of the theatre is pretty cool.
Parking is a challenge, if you can get there a lil before the show they have adjacent parking which they have a flat fee for.
Did not know what to expect, having never seen this show. Definitely worth every penny. Creative, fun, and certainly entertaining. Oh, they let you take your drinks into the show too.
Very Very nice show 👌 …
There are no words to describe how relieved I was that what we paid for these tickets was not a rip-off! What a fantastic show! The ads on tv don't begin to give any idea of what you should expect. Extremely inventive and completely original. We took our exchange student from South Korea and he loved it. I understand BMG just changed their show, so I guess we'll need to go again. I think I can force myself.
It was our first time there and it was a great show. Love that they get the audience to participate. We sat up in the balcony which is nice but they work on the sides and you cant see some of the clips.
I wouldn't suggest for people to buy front row seats, I went on a solo trip and wanted to get the best out of this experience. The show its more for kids that it is for adults. No, you wont get paint splashed on you. I would recommend more going to other events.
2nd time seeing bmg and at least 15 years since first time. I love the changes but glad to see and hear a couple of my favorite skits and songs. Great interaction with the audience and one of the most fun things to do in Chicago
I’ve seen them 5 times & BMG is still an exciting, fun filled show.
It’s creative, artistically captivating & filled with awe.
Parking can be a bit daunting. So come early and take advantage of the local eats & sites
Awesome show hope one day I can sit in front row
Family fun for all ages. Only reason for the 4 star is that they only had 1 person working concessions so it took 28 minutes in line for a water and pop. The show was good and filled the evening with good clean fun!
I have no idea what I just watched! It’s insane! The blue man group show was an absolute treat to the eyes and if you’re thinking whether it’s worth the money or not then just forget about it and go!!! Those men are absolutely talented and amazing! It’s a visual treat! ♥️
What fun! They have been going strong for over 20 years but there was nothing tired about the show. A fantastic experience that doesn't really compare to anything else.
My first time seeing the BMG and it was good! I'm not a theater arts type but it was my friends 30th birthday and she wanted to go and they did an amazing job and I will come back for another show!
The Blue Man Group is the best audio-visual-comedic-improv experience known to mankind. Hands down. Their improvisation skills are so good, you can't even tell what's scripted and what isn't. And no, their extra antics aren't staged and they don't have audience members placed. I visited with a local band from Western NY and one of the percussionists was chosen for a bit involving percussion. Needless to say, he exceeded their expectations and were able to seamlessly adapt and (futilely) increase the difficulty. I would completely recommend this to anyone who is remotely interested in this kind of stuff.
I watched the Blue Man Group (Chicago)a little over four years ago when my high school went on its senior trip. A few weeks back, I heard from one of my friends from the Chicago area that the Blue Man Group sometimes gets a bad rep because of the violence and things like that that occur in Chicago, which does not make sense. Why would a show that has nothing to do with the violence happening there be condemned for it? I really enjoyed seeing the show because it was so overstimulating with its flashing lights, a bunch of things flying around and bouncing in the air, and performances like I hadn't experienced prior (not experiencing these things since). I recommend coming despite the bad things you've heard about the group because their excellence in skill and performance is worth overlooking the negativity that some people have against this group.
Street parking but metered. If parking at a meter be cautious as the signs around the area have time zone restrictions. I'm not sure if the building has valet parking. The performance was visually stunning! I will say that the performance was louder than I expected. If you have sensitive ears like I do you may want to bring ear plugs as you will still be able to hear everything well with them in your ears. Otherwise, I had a great experience.
Very nice show, it’s soundy, funny and very visual
The three bluemen on stage were very good in their complete performance: good musicians, dancers and comedians
Wonderful moment !
Fun experience! Saw BMG probably about 10 years ago. It was neat to see how they've updated with the times. However, it did seem a little too digital for my liking. I liked how raw the show used to be.
Everyone has to do this once in their life. Parking is on site for 15 dollars. Show starts the same for the most part but it's always entertaining. I'm not a huge music person but I enjoy it very much. A little pricey but well worth it, and look around they have sales and discounted tickets all the time. Not a bad seat in the place.
We had a great time and the show was amazing. Everything we had hope it would be. We came from Alabama to Chicago for our band to be in the Festival of Lights Parade and caught the show the night before. There was an incident with the streamers getting caught on the spinners but we hacked them away and kept the man next to us from being strangled by them. Considering that a fluke, a technical issue, and not holding it against the show. It was an intellectually stimulating show, and I was glad that they show social conscience through charitable contributions. Photography is not allowed at all during the show, but they were extremely kind to give several of us an opportunity to take pictures with them afterwards. Bravo, Blue Man Group!
Fun experience for the family or date night! Offer drinks to take in the show with you, and interesting art objects to view while waiting to go in. Have been a couple time....closer to the stage is best, but there really isn't a bad seat anywhere.
Great experience! The performers keep the audience engaged the entire time.
We have been here now twice. Would recommend paying for the lot next to the theater it is monitored and so much easier to deal with at the end of the show. Also would take pictures with the blue men at the end. Make sure you get up there early some people are shy, but the blue men only stay out for pictures for about 20 mins and then have to go back to get ready for next show. Obviously it is a good show if we are going twice. You couldn't pay me to go in the splash zone, but some kids find it super fun to be in the action. The live band they added this time reminded me of circuis de solei Ka show in Vegas a little in a good way.
The new show was nice however I enjoyed the older show best.
I have heard about this show for years and I finally had a chance to go. This theater was somewhat small but still nice. The show was mostly entertaining but seemed somewhat disjointed and forced at times. Your mileage may vary.
This is the 2nd time I attended the blue man group show it is great however the one I attended at Universal Orlando was phenomenal don't get me wrong this one is still fun
This show is a true experience. I know it's the theatrical equivalent to a chain restaurant but there are good reasons why this is a national act. The music, the visual effects and the audience inclusion are all reasons to see this at least once.
Slightly condensed compared to the show we saw at Universal Studios in Orlando, but not a disappointment. Love this show!!
very intertaining my daughter was really enjoyed watching them.
Great show for the family!
The show is wacky, intense, and an odd mix of humor and music. The humor often tends to an awkward/lowbrow/physical style that, while enjoyable, isn't highbrow theater. You can often find deals online for tickets ahead of time and get a better deal than you could at the box office.
Amazing awesome show>I would love to go again sometime>all did a great job & who cares if they trouble with the paint splahing they still try to put on a cool amazing show>never got any paint splash on us at all because I think they were having tech issues Monday night June 29th >Sat in 1st row witch was cool
Loved the show... Worth the 3.5 hour drive to see them!!!
The concert was awesome! I went for a field trip and it was the best concert I've ever went to. When the lights flickered my friends and I felt like we were in an animation! I LOVED it❤
Amazing and enjoyable experience.
It was more than few moments ago and still remember blue palm print on my Birthday shirt.
Happy New Year
Incredible show. The lights, music, atmosphere everything perfect. Please come here if you haven’t already
Not as energetic back in the day. It was still an awesome show. There was less tissue paper than before. I loved the theme of the show. It is super loud!
I have been wanting to see this for at least a couple decades. The show did not disappoint.
We thoroughly enjoyed The Blue Man Group! AGAIN (this time with the twins)!!!
Awesome experience to see once in a lifetime. The humor was a little dry at times but the music was great and the crowd involvement was entertaining.
It was cool but after seeing stuff from the Burning Man community it's a bit outdated and reminded me of Max Hedrom from the 90s v the art installations of today. I also thought the marshmellows and twinkies were a waste of a half hour and tbh gross.
Family enjoyed the show very much! Very entertaining for all ages!
These guys are flipn awesome! So family oreinted, technology has stolen the youth and even adults imagination and need for face to face human interaction and bonding, these guys really know how to get people interested in both again! Money well spent .. we drove 3 hrs to get to Chicago and it was worth ever dagum minute we faught in traffic and dime we spent ! Phenomenal job Blue man/women crew, never stop bringing us humans together and sparking are imaginations... I'm hoping some day you will come to wichita,Kansas, so that I may bring my 5grandbabies to enjoy your magnificent crew!
The show is awesome as always. Went there for 70th birthday and they didn't disappoint. Even my 3 year old loved it.
The show starts out a little slow but just keeps building all the way to the end high energy lots of exciting things going on lots of fun recommended to all
We had a great time. I saw blue man group many years ago, & yes the show changed but it’s nothing like it used to be. Just not as fun and exciting.
Awesome show. Very good interactive and explosive show.
I have waited probably 30 years to attend this show. I was finally able to go and it was FABULOUS! It is an intimate experience without the huge crowds, every seat is a winner!
7 year old grandson and I went (I saw BMG in LV before). It was interminably slow at times, and the marquee scroll humor was lost on my grandson. The backup band was terrific, as was the drumming of the main performers.
Bought seat in the front to surprise my grandkid. He was disappointed that he didn't get splashed at all
What was the purpose of the ponchos?
Amazing show from beginning to end. This is a must see show. The staff are top notch and the shaw changes from time to time. Always worth it!
It was a really great show. Parking was onsite for only $17 ( go early to get a spot)
A great experience!!! My daughter and friend loved it as well.💖 …
Bring your tissues because you are going to pee your pants. We have seen the show twice and still need tissue. AN ABSOLUTE MUST IN CHICAGO Skip the hot dog - they serve Twinkies here. Best laugh per dollar ratio guaranteed.
Amazing interactive show in an intimate space a must to experience
What a fun experience. Finally after hearing great things we checked it out for ourselves. Fun for the entire family! Warning if your near the front you may get messy.:)
These guys never fail to offer a wonderful, family-family show. I have bee to several of their shows and the show is ever-changing. I could go once a month and never be bored.
I don’t have words to describe this place... the show, the people, the crew, the details... the show is interactive with the public and they give you a perfect show and after they came out to take a picture with you.
Incredible!
Absolutely incredible experience!! The show was funnier and more interactive than I thought it would be. Great show, highly recommend!!
Fun, high energy and interactive show. The improve was funny and for no words being uttered, it was very engaging and entertaining. My 11 yo loved it.
The show was so-so. The show felt very child-oriented with a few viagra jokes mixed in for the adults. The best part is the beginning of the show and it all goes downhill from there.
This was my second time seeing the Blue Man Group and I was underwhelmed. The was to much lag time between acts and sometimes during. Maybe this was just an off night because I have seen them really bring a great show.
If bald, mute smurfs with a great sense of humor are your kind of thing, don't miss out.
(Note: Occasionally, there will be flashing lights. Note 2: Tobias Fünke was a no-show. Note 3: There was a lot of butt shaking - for all you Tina Belchers out there.)
I have seen the BMG more times than I can count! I love it each time. However, as of this review, they have not implemented any new songs from the new album. BMG in Las Vegas has started putting new songs into the show. I want to be a Blue Man when I grow up!
The show was awesome. Will be going again
Great show, tons of crowd interaction. Rockin beats! Let them know if you are celebrating a birthday or a special occasion when you book the tickets.
Second time here and they didn't disappoint!!! Same show, slightly tweaked but still awesome. Highly recommend it!
It's always a great show but we booked it through the theater and they charged us some kind of service fee like 45.00 per ticket we bought 4 tickets never again.
Great Family Entertainment!
Took my lady there for her birthday and she had a blast! The show was funny and interesting with great music!
Amazing show!! Loved it
ART MUSIC AND SCIENCE at its BEST!!! I have waited a VERY long time to see this group. FUN FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND You to visit.
I loved taking the kids to see the Blue Man Group. Children and adults alike had a blast. The show is funny and original. We laughed and danced, and at times it left us at awe.
Such an awesome experience. Enjoyed that they continue to interact with the audience despite Covid. 🤍🤍 …
Finally get rid of that’s Covid BS vaccination card proof at the entrance.show ok as always
Had a great time! Would recommend going with a group. Very interactive with crowd. Corner row front seats have a bad angle on some of the show. Recommend middle seats.
Great show! My family absolutely loved it and sitting in the poncho section was an added bonus. Highly recommended!
The show was entertaining, but more suited to a crowd of kids. I think maybe the Blue Man Group has passed it's shelf life.
I've gone 3x's over several years. Still highly entertaining. Great for family, date night, or celebration. Good show.
Exciting! Weird! Funny! I LOVED IT
No words for how entertaining and fun this was. Like no other show.
Great place to take family. We took people from out of town and they loved it. Price for the tickets were outstanding for the entertainment. Must see.
It was a really good show and it was really funny all a joke true for all ages even adults and it was also super fun lots of fun lots of fun lots
The experience was mind blowing, and very entertaining. I highly recommend for everyone if given the opportunity to attend the show
We loved the show and it's good for kids. My 5 years old was very happy during the show and very exited!!
Great show as always. I went during the day and it was not a full house. Unfortunately, that made the experience a little less Fun.
Blue Man Group always delivers! Their show is so much fun for all ages! The best percussion music ever!
Awesome show, they have a really friendly staff and actors. 10/10 everyone should see the show
It’s good show for one time. It goes really slow for my taste however kids loved it so 3 star.
The best show i see really amazing
It was AWESOME! I've seen videos of them but being there in person was AMAZING! If I could give it 50 bagillion stars, I would.
I've seen better productions of this show but it's still a fun time for the whole family.
Had a great time there with my Senior class! Was kind of ruined, because of some class mates complaining and whining about it. I would definitely love to see them again!
Fun show
The kid and wife really liked the crowd interaction. I wanted a little more of the music and drumming. But still enjoyed it.
Had a great time with my boys (7 and 10) at the show. Great value for the money. They loved it.
Very interactive show. Good for crowds of all ages. It also encourages the audience to get involved by dancing and cheering.
Great show. Best to get the first 6 rows, center, to see the performers expressions.
Amazing show - very interactive and hilarious. Also a good mix of drums and definitely a memorable experience!
I got to go backstage and talk to the performers! It was incredibly funny and entertaining. Tons of fun! Well worth it.
Was good but I was under my expectations...!
Great for the family! My kids loved it. If you sit up front, be aware you are in the splash zone!
Excellent show 👏 …
A great group so fun to watch! Its hilarious and exciting all at the same time when you watch blue man group!
Good show, have seen twice... wish they would update it; add new items; possibly make it a bit longer than 85-90 mins
So cool and original!
Great experience with family, 6 & 9 yr old girls. Sat center 7th row, incredible view. Slightly costly but worth it as a highlight of the trip.
Had a great time.It was alot of fun for the whole family.It was the perfect fathersday gift......Sit in the front, the pancho area.
Great Show! My 9 year daugther loved it and I did too...☆☆☆☆☆
Had a great time. Next time I'm bringing my granddaughter. Great show.
I understand why (covid-19), but I still miss the twinkle bit. Still worth going to see.
Amazing! Definitely recommend. Buy your tickets in person at the box office to avoid the $10/ticket online surcharge.
Good show to see atleast once, my kids had fun
Great experience.. one of a kind show.. love it
We love Blue Man Group! This is a great venue to see them. Very intimate setting. Bring the family.
It was a great time. Interesting and fun. It was such a different show. Fun and lively.
It's a really fun experience. Definitely worth the money! You are able to take pictures with them afterwards.
It was a lot fun, they are very talented
We left thoroughly entertained. My kids, who were skeptical about seeing blue men, really enjoyed it.
Awesome show. The theater is very small, but the show is great. A must see on a trip to Chicago.
Very entertaining for audience of all ages. Me and my 4 year old had a lot of fun.
Loved it! Amazing interactive experience. Perfect combination of music, art, and theater.
I went only for my girlfriend. I prejudge and was certain it wasn't my thing. Turned out to be absolutely entertaining and great night!
Fun, but strange. If you've never been, it's worth the time; however, not too sure I'd go watch again.
Simply amazing, I have not seen a show this incredible! They are simply raw talent!
Really great acting and comedic timing. Great for families
Great entertainment for the whole family! Interactive with the audience
Fun show that's more of a happening than a show. The long run of the show has made it a cultural icon that everyone should see.
As good of a live experience as you can get in Chicago. Interactive, even with with audience areas outside of the splash zone.
I thought the show was very good. Great drums and funny bits.
as always, super fun experience!!! definitely a family gathering, and always laughable time. dont think twice and do it!
Super show. Enjoyed.
Loved it , been wanting to go for a long time finnally got to go it was great lots of fun😁 …

It was great. My date wound up being part of the show. Worth it!
Have seen their shows 5 times, always fun and funny
Very fun way to spend an evening in Chicago. Very interactive - never would have guessed I would end up part of the show...!
They recently updated their act and it is really entertaining! They have 25 years in this, go see them!
Blue Man doesn't disappoint! Such a high energy, entertaining time. Loved it!!
It was an amazing show and I will hopefully get to see them again
