11/19/24-Bucket List Item-See the Blue Man Group (Again)

I realized only in the last 10 years or so how much I love going to see production level shows.  It is one of my highlights of our trips to Las Vegas where we have seen many shows of many different types over the years.  It is also one of my favorite parts of cruising.  The fact I can go see a different show every night is something I plan my evenings around.

My history with the theatre started when I was young.  my sister and I saw a number of Broadway plays with my Grandma when we were young at the theatre downtown.  I remember seeing Annie! and Guys and Dolls.  I don't remember much about the shows specifically, but I do remember enjoying the music and singing it for days afterwards.

After Cindy and I got together we saw Phantom of the Opera.  I loved it, but don't tell Cindy that because I like to make fun of some of the songs.  We also saw Aladdin together much later.  I liked that a lot as well.

But the one show I remember most when we were on a big family trip to Orlando was Amber and I taking our kids to see the Blue Man Group.  I had my reservations, mostly because I didn't know anything about the show.  We didn't sit in the "Splash Zone" or anything but the music was great and  the visuals were great.  I think the thing I remember the most about the show is it was fun.  I think now that I know more what to expect I'd enjoy it more.

I think that's one of the reasons I hope I am able to get to Las Vegas at some point again.  I know they are at the Luxor.  And now that the Beatles Circ de Soleil show is gone (I need to find another way to get my Beatles fix), I think that The Blue Man Group is my #1 want to see in Vegas.  After The Golden Knights of course.

So that's why seeing guys in blue make up are on my bucket list.
