| BLUE MAN GROUP |
The Travelling Toe and 2 Dear Friends attended the Sunday matinee performance of the "Blue Man Group" at Bass Hall.

The original Blue Men that started the group are Matt Goldman, Phil Stanton and Chris Wink. They began performing on the streets of Manhattan's Lower East Side and then in small clubs around the city. Eventually they started receiving media attention and a "franchise" was born. They were even used in award winning advertisements. Currently there are several theatrical productions performing at several venues including Las Vegas and Orlando. Plus of course, the traveling tours, such as we attended.

Dear Readers, have you ever seen the Blue Men Group? If not, then as it is hard to describe their show. Of course it involves Blue Men, 3 to be exact, along with a kick-out back-up band and stage extras. The three main Blue Men, are out front working and interacting with audience members and each other. They are often banging on PVC pipes to obtain amazing and unusual sounds. When they begin to play the drums, colored paint goes everywhere. And let's not forget the fun with marshmallows and Twinkies. The Travelling Toe is not exactly sure which 3 Blue Men we saw at our show as there are several listed in the program and with all that blue paint who would know anyway!! Whoever it was, they were funny, enjoyable and entertaining. They know how to get the audience involved using different techniques and that just upped the energy level even higher throughout the performance.

Towards the end of the show, several large spheres (balls) were rolled out on stage and the guys played them as musical instruments for a while. Then they sent them out into the audience. The balls kept changing colors while audience members kept them aloft going from front to back and in between. Alas, the Blue Men did ask for their balls back!!
