Blue Man Group is a mind-boggling entertainment. This totally unique show is a sight, sound, and brain stimulating roller coaster that will completely overturn your notions of what going to the theater means. The Blue Man Group troupe looks like a bunch of space aliens from a Blue Planet somewhere. Decked out all in black with blue heads and hands, these guys also look like the last survivors of a nuclear meltdown. Utilizing a never-ending array of wires, pipes, tubing, lights and other apparatus, Blue Man Group engages in high tech hi-jinx. Pulsating percussive music pounds away as the Blue Man Group shoots light, electric and sound waves across the stage and the audience. Arrayed against an erector set of balconies, hallways and invisible doorways, the trompe l'oeil staging creates an optical illusion. Amazingly the stage is transformed into a black hole sliced by laser light rays and populated by the Blue Man Group's floating heads with their phosphorescent eyes. This is a show that demands that you go with the flow and allow the light and sound to wash over you. Adding to the appeal of Blue Man Group is the intimacy of the 300-seat Astor Place Theatre that provides direct interaction between the troupe and the audience. Performances: M-Th 8p; F 7p & 10p; Sa 4p, 7p & 10p; Su 2p, 5p & 8p; Schedule may vary - call or check website. Tickets: $63-$70
