Blue Man Group in Tupperware commercials? Don't remember those.
I went to see them in Toronto on Wednesday night and was very
impressed. A great show. I didn't realize until the second number that
the musicians up in the boxes were real. They mimicked animation so
expertly. The music was great. The lighting was great. The skits were
witty, sometimes even poignant. The audience loved them. We had smiles
on our faces all the long cold walk back to the hotel. Perhaps more
bang for our buck than the Cirque du Soleil extravaganza, Delirium, that
we went to on Tuesday night. It also was grand and fabulously
conceived and performed -- a treat for the eyes and the ears, but less
emotion somehow -- less for the heart to take home.

I've seen some videos of them. I have thought about going to see them
when they were performing close by, but the tickets I have seen for
them are pretty expensive (remember, I'm cheap, so they may be
reasonable for someone else). I think they are very talented and
entertaining but I'm biased because I play drums -- I don't know
whether the universal appeal for non-musicians [insert drummer joke
here] would apply. I've pretty much loved them since the tupperware
commercials which made them famous.
