Blue Man Group

They’re unique and quirky, merging rock'n'roll percussion with naive, engaging comedy.

Sophisticated multi-media joyously meets primal vaudeville slapstick.

They’re weird, childlike, playful and yucky-messy.

Bald, blue and funny-looking, these three guys embody inner child.

And my inner kid sorta kinda envies the audience members they invite up to play, even as the adult Neil says, 'please, not me!'

These bizarre, deliciously naive blue blokes muck around with new and near-future high tech gizmos in a state of mystified delight.

Iconic Australian songs on Blue Man Group’s equally iconic tubes (an pipe organ-like instrument made from PVC drainage pipes) hooked me and everyone else in the theatre early in the fun-filled rock concert finale.

Thanks to producer Rodney Rigby for bringing Off-Broadway and international phenomenon Blue Man Group to Australia and inviting me to play.

And after tonight marshmallows will never be quite the same.
