Yelp.com Review - by Kori M.

2 of 5 stars. As far as the theater itself i thought it was really nice. Very cozy. It didn't feel big and overwhelming like some of the larger theaters. I did feel kind of bad for the people up top. Didn't really…

2 of 5 stars. The theater itself is great, but Blue Man Group ... um, can you say "time is up", I am clearly in the minority, because I just didn't enjoy it much -- yet people continue to go back for more. Ick.…

Yelp.com Review - by Colleen S.

5 of 5 stars. Is it possible to review this without reviewing the Blue Man Group? I wonder when something else will ever run here. So here we go: BMG has utilized the lobby space in a REALLY creative way. I'm not…

5 of 5 stars. The blue man group show was great. Though, I was nervous the entire time that they would pull me up on stage. (luckily they didn't) The coolest part is the waiting room outside, where they have…

Yelp.com Review - by steve c.

5 of 5 stars. I have gone twice and loved it. I went back for "added material" but was disapointed at the same show. I guess once you seen it once it doesn't change. It has always a enteratining show. I love the…

Yelp.com Review - by Dan T.

3 of 5 stars. Well, I've seen Blue Man twice, about 5 years apart. While this show definitely brings some visceral and hilarious avant garde moments to the masses, it's definitely not worth a second try.

5 of 5 stars. Great theater and great Blue man show! Can't believe it has been here for so long - is it 10 years? FYI, this place is listed twice in yelp. Not sure why. The building used to be a horse stable for…

5 of 5 stars. I felt like I was the only one who haven't seen Blue Man. I had opportunity to see it just recently. If you haven't seen it, go see it. Its very unique show and funny. I think there are some funny…

4 of 5 stars. How often do you get to watch people conforming to the standards of three alien beings? It's fabulous --- and something new each time. I've seen it three times, and though the show is very similar,…

4 of 5 stars. I've been to see Blue Man Group twice and both times loved it - it's very entertaining, great music and percussion, and very funny. I love how they come into the audience and freak people out. The…

5 of 5 stars. I am biased because, well, I work here. But all the same, this show is not to be missed. Even after seeing the performance about 200 times I feel like there's always something new and entertaining…

5 of 5 stars. I enjoyed Blue Man Group's show "Tubes" so much, I've returned twice more with friends. From Saint Louis. No one should ever visit Chicago, or even near Chicago, without taking in this show. Part…

4 of 5 stars. I used to live on tiny Briar Street, just a few blocks east of this theater famous for the Blue Man Group gigs. The building is located on North Halsted a block south of Belmont, and the show defies…

5 of 5 stars. I saw Blue Man Group in this remodled theatre that's on the smaller side. I'm guessing it holds a couple hundred or so. They have a seperate lounge area as well that is like a small , dim nightclub…

5 of 5 stars. I truly believe that Blue Man Group has been running here since before Joan Rivers had her first face lift. And that's a VERY LONG time! The show is unbelievable. I have never been to a theatrical…
