Blue Man Group is a fun, hands on, experience that has wowed audiences across the nation.  The show's theatrical acts incorporate rock music, percussion, odd props, audience participation, sophisticated lighting, and large amounts of paper. The "poncho section" of the audience provides plastic ponchos in order to protect them from various foods, substances, paints, and so on, which get thrown, ejected, or sprayed from the stage. The shows are family-oriented, humorous, energetic and often employ thought-provoking satire on modern life.
