Concert Paper About Blue Man Group

Sarah DeMattio LA 321-801 C one timert Paper 2/2/13 Though I had oft heard of them ontogeny up, I never sincerely knew who, or what, good-for- nonhing Man group was. When my 19th birthday came along earlier this past January, my crush supporter decided that in celebration of my birthday, we would be solving our avouch age-long mystery slightly inexorable Man Group. We were going to a build to impose what exactly it was that these blue men did. My initial reply was certainly less than satisfied when my best friend told me that she got us tickets to describe mettlesome Man Group for my birthday.I remembered a discussion we had had a few months prior(prenominal) when we spoke avidly nearly how our parents always do references to aroundthing called the blue man group as we were g rowinging up, and that we still to that day had no idea what it was or why it was being referenced in the source place. Though still not completely convinced, I bit my tongue, thanked my frie nd for the gesture, told her I could not conceal to see the show, and calmed myself with the thought that at least finally, my questions of the smurph doughnut would be answered. On January 6th, 2013, my friend Kaya and I do our way downtown.We had tickets to see the 8 p. m. show of Blue Man Group at the Astor Place Theater. Upon arriver to the venue, my reservations about the experience became even more lancinating the theater looked like some physical body of undercover grunge dungeon Ive heard about and warned of. We entered the theater lobby where I immediately sight the concession and souvenir stand, because aside from the usual assortments of cookies, popcorns and slowly drinks, the pinch recommended item to buy was a poncho. My suspicions now hit their zenith. Kaya, what the heck did you bring me to? Kaya laughed off my remark and once we were seated, elaborated about the ponchos. She told me that contrary to typical shows, where the finisher your seat is to the sta ge in orchestra, the more high-priced the seat becomes, Blue Man Group in truth offers a discounted price for the first 5 rows of Orchestra. The sprinkle regulate, if you will. And that of course, explains the need for ponchos. Our seats happened to be the first row behind the last row of the splash zone, so obviously I spent the good show holding my breath a elfin in fear that bodily fluids of any kind would run their way to me. They didnt, thankfully.Blue Man Group consisted of three men that were all bald, blue, wore black clothing, and had extremely walloping mouth capacities. My favorite moment of the entire 105-minute show is hard to decide, both honestly and to my surprise. One of my top favorite and most impressed moments of the show was all(prenominal) time the men played their large bongo-type, food waste receptacles as drums. Two men played their own drums simultaneously while the third man stood in the middle of the two and squirted different colored liquids on to the drums, thence splashing colorful water everywhere and creating some kind of a rainbow waterfall.It was both visually unusual and musically pleasing. The Blue Man Groups abilities varied, simply certainly never failed to impress. I cannot genuinely describe what they played, or even did. They seem to acquire a knack for making instruments out of anything but instruments, and creating art with anything but art supplies. The combination of the sarcastic, poking-fun-at-society disposition of the Blue Man Group along with their frizzly abilities, talents, and looks, was what made the entire experience such a pleasantly surprising and enjoyable one.I am not a big fan of freaky aspect characters that do odd things, spit into the audience, and chew master key Crunch cereal in harmony, but for Blue Man Group, I made the exception and would once again and again in a heartbeat. The show was unlike anything Ive ever experienced. It is a different and kindle approach to having fun, and I am determined to make any other doubters in my life see what Blue Man Group is all about for themselves.
