Blue Man Group

Felipe · Jan 25, 2012

I'm definitely going to check out the new show. My family and I really enjoyed the previous one. My brother and I even got picked to go on stage for one of their segments (thanks to my big ears?

) They grabbed a few people from the audience and they sat us on stage, then they had drumsticks with elastic strings attached to the ends, which they taped to our ears and pretended to play us like instruments by pulling on our ears. Pre-recorded "ouch!" noises would play with every pull and it was pretty funny! I still have the drumsticks

A good tip to enjoy BMG shows, is to really let loose because they have a LOT of audience interaction. Not just going on stage for various segments, but they'll make everyone dance, and move around, and do all sorts of fun/wacky stuff.

PS: I really like that the new show looks a lot more colorful than the previous one :thumbs:

I never got to go up on stage, but the one of the Blue Men really saw me getting with the music last time... and grabbed me to get my photo after the show.

I always have fun at the shows!
(I've seen new york back in 06, and Orlando about 5 times)

Thanks for posting wdwbiged, I've been so busy back and forth to the theater and helping out with other things, I've neglected my favorite online theme park message board. Thanks for being on top of this and posting these for me. We have many more videos to share of construction, interviews, dress rehearsals, media event and grand opening night. Also, The Blue Man Group Insiders are hosting an exclusive fan meet on March 3rd to commemorate the new show. Gives anyone who wants a chance to mingle with blue man fans from across the world and nation who will be traveling just for this meet up event. Did I mention a 20% discount on group seating and exclusive behind the scenes access to sound check? For more information on the event, how to attend visit: https://www.facebook.com/events/156031051163329/

In the UO Passport, I saw that passholders were eligible for a FREE sneak preview on February 17th to the Blue Man Group's new show! Unfortunately the seats are all gone now. Did anyone get to make a reservation for that night?

sadly by the time I found out it was AFTER business hours

One would think with the amount of passholders they have they would do two shows and not just one...

Woah! Totally missed this! I'm a sad puppy...

I actually don't see it on mine. Maybe it's because I was e-mailed the Passport for Power Passholders, even though I'm not a Power PH... *sigh*

He said "In the UO Passport, I saw" and that's the name of the e-mail newsletter, so I just figured so.

My wife and I are both Premiere Annual Passholders, we go the Gold labeled booklet in the mail. If says basically in the booklet, "Come See the New Blue Man Group Show For Free!" "Exclusive sneak preview for Annual Passholders, Friday Feb 17th, at 6PM. General Seating and advanced reservations required. Seating is limited, so reserve your tickets today. First come, first serve. 407-BLUEMAN.

The Insiders will be at the passholder event, if anyone for this site is going to be there, please come say hi to us!

Felipe · Jan 30, 2012

Maybe only Premiere got it? I'm Preferred, so maybe that's why? Oh well, it would've been cool to go see it for free, but I'll live

rotcav, I have a question that you might know the answert to. Looking at the videos I saw there's the new finale with the big white balls. Does this mean they won't do the bit where they pass around the tissue paper from the back of the theatre all the way to the front? Might be part of Universal's new green initiative? Just curious. I actually still have a piece of tissue in my BMG souvenir programme

Nah, I am a preferred passholder as well.

I am referring to the UO Passport I received via postal mail.

figment1986 · Jan 31, 2012

It seems to me Some people ALWAYS get emails from theme parks they have passes for, and others (like me) almost NEVER get those emails... (I have the same problem with disney)

Brian G. · Jan 31, 2012

I'm being told the name of the show is going to be "Wet, Bald & Blue".

Vyrus · Jan 31, 2012

That sounds soooo wrong :look:

Ah! Ok, thanks for clarifying. I've had inconsistent luck with those. Some months they arrive, most months I don't get one. The last mailing I remember getting is the Jaws closure pamphlet. Maybe I did get an OU Passport and somebody threw it out thinking it was advertisement... :shrug: I'm getting off topic, anyways. Thanks for clarifying!

Err... I don't really like it... :look: Though it's just like a subtitle anyways. We'll all know it as the Blue Man Group show at Universal / CityWalk
