Yesterday we went to go see the Blue Man Group in Amsterdam. If you are not aware of what that is, it is an off-broadway show starring three men, painted blue, that basically puts on a colorful percussion show with intermittent stints (see website reviews for more). The show is basically in a class of its own, with little in common with the typical singing, dancing, and acting routines on Broadway. While there is little in the show that moved me, I did find some of the stunts impressive. There was plenty to laugh at, although some of the performance required understanding of Dutch to enjoy. At 54 euros for a ticket, I think it is a bit over-priced for the 1.45 hour show, as everything is in Holland. I would be willing to go watch it again though, if I have the opportunity to go see it in English, and for a more reasonable U.S. or discount price.
