Blue man group

We watched a performance of Blue Man Group at Las Vegas on 27 Dec 2010 and it was amazing.
Here are some reasons why ?

1. Very unique - The idea itself that blue man group are not from earth and they react based on audience reaction; looking everything with curiosity ; and being innovative in doing things - yeah thats how shows should be.

2. So much audience participation - Couple of acts included people from audience. a huge paper roll is passed from back to front by audience - no reason why, it is just cool.

3. A lot of physics is involved in the acts - If you rotate statues, it gives an effect of animation, projection, liquid dynamics.

4. Technology - Advanced technology and especially the interaction of technology with blue men.

And lots of satire - they completely ridiculed the rock band concerts, shaving razors, cereals and what not. Truely a delight to watch. One of my favorite acts was when each of the three blue men show big cards one by one at a rate that you can read only one. The mind tries to read all three and in the process fails to read anyone of them. Very clear.

Drum beats and background score was quite good too!
