Has anyone seen Stomp or The Blue Man Group?

Has anyone seen either or both of these shows? Is stomp worth seeing? Also, has anyone seen the Blue Man Group? Of these two, which did you prefer? Thank you! = )

Has anyone seen Stomp or The Blue Man Group?

I did see Stomp, though it was some time ago, and loved it. I doubt that it%26#39;s changed since I%26#39;ve seen it. I met someone in the cast once and she told me that it%26#39;s so demanding that they go through casts quickly.

I have not seen Blue Man Group but everyone I%26#39;ve ever met who has loved it.

Stomp is hard to describe -- think percussion with everyday items (garbadge cans, brooms, etc.

The theater is also agreeably small so you don%26#39;t feel that there%26#39;s a wall between you and the stage.

Blue Man Group is two guys doing some slapstick type of humor. It%26#39;s great for teenage boys or those who appreciate what they would. What is the makeup of your group?

Well, I%26#39;d give Blue Man Group a little more credit than that. :)

I saw both shows years ago, and I%26#39;m also presuming they haven%26#39;t changed all that much.

Warning: now that both shows, and troupes like Cirque de Soleil, are so popular, the novelty has worn off. You%26#39;ve seen segments on TV, and all three of these shows have been parodied. Therefore, it might not seem new and fresh to you.

Blue Man Group

There are 3 guys in blue body paint, but clothed, and they do some acrobatics, percussion numbers and messy skits - all without talking - set to loud techno music and lighting. I really hate mimes and clowns, and I enjoyed this show.

I%26#39;d say its a combo of silliness and art. A lot of their skits are decidedly tounge in cheek about what constitutes ';brilliant'; art . I%26#39;m not sure they still do this, but in one segment, they each pull continuously from giant rolls of toilet paper. The unmanageable wads of Charmin streamers looks silly at first, but then the whole woven mess gets so big, you%26#39;re talking MOMA scuplture proportions. It gets to be bigger than the 3 of them. Then they all work together to move and pulse this immense mountain of tissue in time to music and lighting. It%26#39;s amusing but also looks cool.

They throw around gooey paints, too, so if you sit in the first two rows, they give you rain ponchos.

Stomp

Stomp is not as moody or ';arty';. It%26#39;s a group of acrobatic, enthusiastic dancers who do very coordinated percussion dances using regular everyday objects, such as trash cans, staplers, keys, what have you. The atheleticism is impressive, and they all look so cool doing whatever they%26#39;re doing, even if it%26#39;s just dancing while wearing brown paper bags for gloves. It%26#39;s very upbeat. May inspire you to go to the gym more. ;o)

I%26#39;d say both are good but different. Blue Man is definitely tongue-in-cheek humor, and has been called ';performance art for people who hate performance art.';

Stomp is a celebration of life and rhythm in it%26#39;s own way.

So whatever you are in a mood for.

agree totally with queensblvd,and voyageruse(sorry,spelling?!)

I saw both groups a number of years ago,with spouse and 2 teenage daughters. we had a great time ,lots of laughing,and excitement,something to enjoy as a family,tho%26#39; maybe not with the under 10-12 crowd(may be too noisy for them,also they may not ';get'; either show)

I saw the touring group of Stomp recently and loved every second of it.

Actually planning on seeing Blue Man group (touring) sometime next month as well.
