Blue Man Group is artsy and earthy. It's not as artsy as Mystere, and
not as earthy as Stomp. It's both far more artsy and far more earthy
than La Femme, IMAO, that is. :)

BMG is definitely not a "traditional LV show" by any means. :)

I got to see it shortly after they opened at Luxor. There's a lot to it
that should not be given away, but let me say that it's moderately loud,
very fast-paced, heavy on rhythm, extremely funny with some elements of
schoolyard gross-out humor. There's some audience participation, and
contrary to some other LV shows, I don't think these were ringers.

I will admit that it's not for everybody, but I think most people will
enjoy it.
